Prompt Enhancements
Introduction This guide offers instructions for crafting prompts by incorporating different elements to improve functionality. Telephone Numbers To have the GPT model read out a phone number with each digit stated separately, use the following syntax: Read out the following phone number, saying each digit separately. For example, if the number were 555-123-4567, you would say "five five five, one two three, four five six seven." [Insert Phone Number Here] Time Formatting To ensure consistent formatting of times in the model's responses, include the following instructions in your prompt: When displaying times in your responses, format them as follows: - For times from 1:00 to 11:59 (both AM and PM), write them as '[hour]:[minutes] [AM/PM]', e.g. '5:00 PM' - For times from 12:00 to 12:59 in the afternoon, write them as '12:[minutes] PM' - For times from 12:00 to 12:59 at night or in the morning, write them as '12:[minutes] AM' - For times from 13:00 to 23:59, first convert them to 12-hour clock format, then write them as '[converted hour]:[minutes] [AM/PM]', e.g. '17:00' should be written as '5:00 PM' Languages To specify the language in which the model should respond, use the following syntax:
Respond in [language] only. Please note that by default the microphone is listening for English. Replace [language] with the desired language, such as "English," "Spanish," "French," etc. Question Asking To have the model survey with a series of questions, use the following format: Ask the following questions individually, wait for the user's response, acknowledge their answer briefly, and then proceed to the next question until the survey is complete. 1. What is your favorite cuisine? 2. What is your favorite dish from that cuisine? 3. How often do you eat your favorite dish? 4. Do you prefer cooking your favorite dish at home or dining out? 5. What is it about this dish that makes it your favorite? Once the survey is finished, thank the user for their participation.
Currency and Units Formatting:
If your users work with financial figures or measurements, include a prompt for how currency or units should be formatted Example:
When mentioning monetary values, display them in [currency] format, e.g., "$100" or "€100". When using units of measurement, use [imperial/metric] based on regional preferences.
