A prompting cheat sheet maps out distinct usage playbooks for four major AI assistants, each framed as a different persona.
- ChatGPT: prompt like an instructor — set a role, state exactly what you need, ask for step-by-step plans and specified output formats; best for planning, drafting and general help.
- Claude: prompt like a careful teammate — enable extended thinking, share your work context, use action words, hand it real files and connect apps; best for writing, coding and tasks built on your own work.
- Perplexity: prompt like a research analyst — one clear question at a time, add dates and places, demand sources, use deep research mode; best for market research and fact-checking.
- Gemini: prompt like a project planner — specify output type, request day-by-day breakdowns, pull from Gmail/Drive/Calendar, transcribe long videos; best for project plans and Google app workflows.
