Ask ChatGPT to Write Better Prompts For You

You can use GenAI to improve your own prompt-writing skills, by asking ChatGPT to write the prompt for you. This technique is like regenerative braking: every time you slow down to build a better prompt, you generate more power in your output.

🧠 STEP 1: Start with your goal

Begin with intent: Open ChatGPT and type what you want to do. For example: “Hey, I want to write a follow-up email. What prompt should I use to get the best result?” Let ChatGPT help you build a more effective input.

🔁 STEP 2: Use progressive prompting

Leverage the loop: Think of this like regenerative braking. Slowing down to ask for a prompt creates energy that powers better results. Copy the prompt that ChatGPT gives you, and paste it into a new conversation—or even the same one—for a refined response.

🔧 STEP 3: Try the ‘Prompt Maker’ Custom GPT

Use the Custom GPT: For a more deliberate and focused experience, use the ‘Prompt Maker’—a custom GPT designed to help you engineer excellent prompts.

📍 STEP 4: How to find the Prompt Maker Bot

Quick navigation:

  1. Open ChatGPT
  2. Click the left sidebar
  3. Go to “Explore GPTs”
  4. Search for “Prompt Maker”
  5. Start a session to collaborate on prompt construction

🎯 STEP 5: Iterate and refine

Prompts evolve: Treat each interaction like a feedback loop. Once the bot suggests a prompt, try it, then return to improve it. Better prompts = better results = faster breakthroughs.

✅ Bonus: Use the PILLARS Prompt Bot

If you’d like to use the PILLARS framework, you can fill-in-the-blank for each of these items:

🎭 Persona – “Respond as a…”
🧭 Intent – “Your goal is to…”
🗂️ Layout – “Format the response as….”
🚧 Limits – “Avoid…”
👥 Audience – “This is intended for….”
✅ Requirements – “Ensure that you include…”
👗 Style – “Use a tone that is…”

Or, you can use this Custom GPT that is in the CustomGPT library: Pillars Prompt Bot

Now that you’ve learned how to generate better results by asking ChatGPT to co-create your prompts you can either do this directly in chat, or with a specialized Custom GPT.

Smart prompting isn’t a destination, it’s a regenerative cycle that powers your AI productivity.
