Why you should not buy expensive prompt libraries
I am getting tired of people getting ripped off so I have to say this:
Avoid buying expensive courses and prompt libraries online. Why? Well, most of the information they sell is already available for free and getting a life-time subscription on something is often just a waste of money as most prompts are designed around circumstances that are changing constantly.Its better you learnt he principles behind prompting instead. And that is not something you need a 10 000+ prompt library for.
Below follows a summary of some of the best strategies for prompt design. We also advise everyone to read OpenAIs, Googles and other reliable sources own prompt manuals and regularly check them for updates:

Do I need to know prompt design to use Heartspace AI?
Nope. Inside Heartspace, we continuously incorporate the latest prompt-design principles into our back end- so you do not need to think about it. It does not hurt to know these things though and its great as a checklist when you are not getting the response you like from Chat-GPT. Also we think that everyone can benefit from learning how to communicate with LLMs as it is a new interface that we as humans need to learn just as we have learned other previous interfaces.
Prompt-design fundamentals
Clarify role
Assign a clear role for example: "You are an expert in social-media marketing with deep experience in writing authentic and engaging texts" or “You are an PR-expert with decades of experience of writing press-releases that are non-salesy and rfree from corporate fluff”.
2. Ask it to think first and answer later
Ask it to think “deeply” or “take a breath and stop and reflect before answering”, for some reason asking the AI to “think deeply” about subjects, pausing and reflecting often makes AI-responses better.
3. Define the task clearly- look for inconsistencies in your prompt. Is it easy to understand? You can even ask the AI to ask you for clarifying questions if you feel like it is getting you wrong, and then ask it for input on how to improve your prompt the next time. Select an Image
4. Be specific about language and tonality, if you see words and expressions you do not like: write them down and include them as specific instructions on what kind of tonality to avoid. Also, give a few examples of what to write instead.
5. Provide instructions/examples for the structure of the answer, for example if you would like subheadings or not, emojis etcetera.
