Prompt tips

Effective prompts

The usefulness of the results you get from SnapGPT depends on the quality of the prompts you enter. The best prompts are:
  • Clear: Be precise to help SnapGPT determine the most suitable response.
  • Concise: Be brief to reduce latency in responses.
  • Consistent: Be consistent to help SnapGPT learn quickly and avoid variability in the results.

You must be very specific in your request to get the best possible experience from SnapGPT.
