7 power-user prompts: give AI a role, goal and context instead of using it like a search box
alifcoder · x · 2026-09-28
alifcoder shares a set of practical prompt templates, arguing most people use ChatGPT/Gemini like a search box and get mediocre answers. The fix: give the model a role, goal, context and clear output format.
The first template: ask the AI to "act as a world-class expert in [TOPIC], analyze my problem from multiple angles, give the best approach, why it works, mistakes to avoid, and a step-by-step action plan — no generic advice."
Later entries in the thread cover prompts for making AI challenge your ideas, finding money-making opportunities, and turning one idea into 30 content posts.
