Best Practices for Prompts
The secret to great videos: Be specific and include the method
Example 1
Too Vague:
"Explain calculus"
Better:
"Solve x² + 5x - 3 = 0 using the quadratic formula step by step"
Example 2
Too General:
"What is photosynthesis"
Better:
"Explain the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis with the electron transport chain"
Example 3
Missing Context:
"Explain derivatives"
Better:
"Find the derivative of f(x) = 3x³ - 2x² + 5x using the power rule"
Pro Tip
Always include the specific problem you're solving and the method you want explained. This helps the AI create a targeted, useful explanation.
