|| '''Title Slide'''

| Welcome to this '''Spoken Tutorial''' on '''The 3 Cs''' of '''Prompting'''.

|-

|| '''Learning Objectives Slide'''

| In this tutorial, you will learn to define and explain the 3 '''Cs''' of prompting.

You will also learn how to compare and apply them in different scenarios.

|-

|| '''Disclaimer Content Slide'''

| As AI tools constantly evolve, if you are unable to locate any icon or encounter difficulty at any step, you may use any conversational AI Chatbot for guidance.

|-

|| '''System Requirements Slide'''

| To practice this '''tutorial''', you will need:

A '''computer''', a '''laptop''', or a '''smartphone'''.

A stable '''internet''' connection.

An updated '''web browser''', such as '''Chrome''', '''Edge''', or '''Firefox'''.

|-

|| '''Pre-requisite Slide'''

|| Person sitting at a laptop, thinking before typing

| Have you ever got a strange answer from an '''AI'''?

That happens because the prompt is vague.

A vague prompt gives an unclear answer.

A clear prompt gives a better answer.

|-

|| Show graphic to explain

Clarity,

Context, and

Constraints.

| Best '''prompts''' include three ingredients:

'''Clarity,'''

'''Context,''' and

'''Constraints.'''

|-

|| Section Header: 1. Clarity

| Let's start with the first '''C''', '''Clarity'''.

|-

|| Person at laptop, thought bubble above head, AI with a question mark

| The '''AI''' can't read your mind.

When you explain your thoughts clearly, the '''AI''' gets better results.

|-

|| Icons representing "task", "topic", "instructions", "details"

| A clear '''prompt''' usually has the following:

- A well-defined task or goal

- A clear topic or focus, and

- Any special instructions for the '''AI''' to follow.

|-

|| Person scratching head, confused at vague instruction

| If these aspects are missing, your prompt becomes vague.

Vague prompts will give vague answers.

|-

|| Screen recording showing browser with different AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)

| Let's open any '''AI''' tool.

I am using '''Gemini AI''' in this tutorial.

You can use anyone you usually use.

Let's type a vague '''prompt''' in the '''message box''' and '''submit''' it.

|-

|| On chatGPT Close-up: user typing "Write about electric cars"

| For example, '''\"Write about electric cars.\"'''

Do you think this is clear or vague?

|-

|| Pause animation / learner reflection moment

| Think about it.

What should the '''AI''' focus on?

Audience?

Length?

It doesn't say what aspect to focus on.

|-

|| AI generating long generic text

| The '''output''' will be too general and lack focus.

|-

|| Screen close-up: user typing improved prompt

"Write a short '''blog''' on the top 3 benefits of owning an electric car in a city."

| Now, let's improve it.

I will now write:

'''\"Write a short blog on the top 3 benefits of owning an electric car in a city.\"'''

|-

|| Side-by-side: vague output vs improved output

| See the difference?

The '''output''' is more precise, relevant, and easy to follow.

|-

|| Section Header: 2. Context

| Now, let's move to the second '''C''', '''Context'''.

|-

|| Visuals of audience types (e.g., student, professional, lifestyle blogger)

| '''Context''' helps the '''AI''' understand your purpose and audience.

It helps the '''AI''' understand the right perspective.

|-

|| Screen close-up: user adding context

"Write a short '''blog''' for a lifestyle '''blog'''. Focus on sustainable living. Explain the top 3 benefits of owning an electric car in a city."

| I will enter the following prompt and press enter.

|-

|| Side-by-side: previous output vs new output

| Look at the '''output'''.

Adding '''context''' makes the response more suitable.

It helps the AI understand who it is for and why it is needed.

|-

|| Section Header: 3. Constraints

| Finally, let's look at the third '''C''', '''Constraints'''.

|-

|| Clock icon, word count icon, style guide visuals

| '''Constraints''' work like rules.

They guide the response by setting length, format, or style.

|-

|| Screen close-up: user adding constraints

The post should focus on sustainable living and electric cars suited for city use

'''\"Write a blog under 400 words for a lifestyle blog.'''

'''The blog should focus on sustainable living and city-friendly electric cars.'''

'''Explain 3 main benefits of owning an electric car in the city.'''

'''Use a friendly, enthusiastic tone throughout.'''

'''End with a question to invite reader comments.\"'''

| For example:

'''\"Write a blog under 400 words for a lifestyle blog.'''

'''The blog should focus on sustainable living and city-friendly electric cars.'''

'''Explain 3 main benefits of owning an electric car in the city.'''

'''Use a friendly, enthusiastic tone throughout.'''

'''End with a question to invite reader comments.\"'''

|-

|| Three outputs shown side by side (vague → context → constraints)

| Compare all three '''outputs''' now.

Adding '''clarity''', '''context''', and '''constraints''' improves quality of the '''output'''.

|-

|| Person at laptop, smiling at improved output

| Remember: Clear and structured prompts give better '''AI''' responses.

|-

|| Summary slide

| Let us summarisz:

In this tutorial you learnt to:

Define and explain the 3C's of prompting.

Compare and apply them in different scenarios


|-

|| '''Assignment''' Slide


Pick a simple topic like Sports, Dogs, or Healthy Food.

First, write a vague prompt.

Next, improve it by adding '''clarity'''.

Observe how the AI responds.

Then add '''context''' to the same prompt.

Notice how the response changes.

Next, add '''constraints''' to the prompt.

Observe the new response.

Compare the three '''AI''' responses.

Note which change made the biggest difference to the response.

| Now here is an assignment for you.
