10 Categories of tasks you can do with ChatGPT

Finally, the answer to "What can AI actually help you with?"

Word on the street is there might be a prompt cookbook coming out very soon. And I heard through the grapevine that a certain email writer might be deciding the categories for the prompts. Rumors are funny…

Today’s Prompt: Generate categories for a prompt cookbook

I am in the process of developing a comprehensive prompt cookbook that will serve as a valuable resource for users looking to effectively engage with AI models like ChatGPT. The goal is to create over 100 versatile prompts that users can easily adapt and test for various applications. To enhance the utility of this cookbook, I need assistance in identifying relevant categories that reflect common use cases for ChatGPT. These categories should encompass areas such as writing, research, learning, business tasks, and more, ensuring they are practical and appealing to a broad audience.

Please begin by generating a list of 20 potential categories that users might find beneficial when interacting with ChatGPT.

Following this, evaluate each category based on its potential appeal and relevance to a wide range of users.

After this assessment, refine the list to identify the top 10 categories that would be most effective for inclusion in the cookbook.

The final output should consist of the initial list of 20 categories, followed by a brief assessment of each category's appeal, and concluding with a refined list of the top 10 categories.

Why we like this prompt:

  1. It sets a clear goal at the beginning with boatloads of context.

  2. It outlines a specific step-by-step process—generate, evaluate, and refine—to guide the process.

  3. It asks for a larger list first followed by an evaluation and an edit to ensure the 10 categories appeal to a broad audience.

  4. It explicitly states how the output should be structured.
