|-

|| '''Title slide'''

| Welcome to this '''Spoken Tutorial''' on '''Structured''' and '''Iterative Prompting'''.

|-

|| '''Learning Objectives slide'''

| In this tutorial, you will learn three useful prompting skills.

• First, how to make '''AI''' think step by step

• Second, how to ask for a clear '''output''' format

• Third, how to improve your '''prompt''' through small changes

|-

|| '''Disclaimer Content Slide'''

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

|-

|| '''System Requirements Slide'''

| Here I will be using:

• A '''web browser''' on a '''computer''' or '''mobile''' and

• An '''AI tool'''

You can use '''ChatGPT''', '''Gemini,''' or any '''AI tool''' of your choice.

I am connected to a working '''internet.'''

|-

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

| To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with what a '''prompt''' is.

You should also have basic '''computer''' knowledge.

|-

|| Graphic - child looking at screen

| Let's begin.

Have you noticed that sometimes '''AI''' gives confusing answers?

It happens when the '''prompt''' is unclear or incomplete.

We can resolve this by using '''Structured''' and '''Iterative Prompting'''.

They make your answers detailed, neat, and easy to understand.

|-

|| Section heading animation: Think step by step

| To begin with, let us use the first skill.

This skill is called '''Chain-of-Thought,''' or '''CoT'''.

Here, we ask the '''AI''' to think step by step.

|-

|| Blank prompt box on screen

| This helps the '''AI''' explain its answer clearly.

It also helps reduce mistakes.

This is useful in math, logic, and planning tasks.

|-

|| Prompt box animation type this prompt in the ChatGPT:

"I have 5 boxes of apples.

Each box has 12 apples.

I eat 3 apples and give away one full box.

How many apples are left?

Think step by step."

| Let's open a '''Firefox web browser.'''

Now, launch an '''AI tool.'''

I am using '''Gemini''' '''AI tool.'''

You can use '''ChatGPT''', '''Copilot''' or any other.

Type the '''prompt''' shown in the screen on the text '''input bar''' and press '''Enter'''.

|-

|| Screen shows AI writing numbered steps

5 x 12 = 60 apples

60 - 3 = 57 apples

57 - 12 = 45 apples

| Here is the '''output'''.

The final answer is 45 apples.

Note how the '''output''' is presented.

The '''output''' is shown clearly and step-by-step.

|-

|| Tip icon appears "Explain each step in one line."

| To make each step clearer, we can try the '''prompt''' displayed on the '''screen.'''

Pause the tutorial, type the shown '''prompt,''' and see how the '''AI''' explains each step.

|-

|| Section heading animation: Structure the output

| Now, let us move on to the second skill.

This skill is telling the '''AI''' how to present the answer.

Giving a clear format saves time.

It also gives clearer and more organized '''output'''.

|-

|| Prompt box shown

"List the pros and cons of eating rice.
Provide the output as a Markdown table with two columns: Pros and Cons."

| Type the '''prompt''' shown on the '''screen''' and press '''enter'''.

|-

|| Screen shows a simple table

Go to the copy icon and click on it

| Observe the '''output.'''

Did you also get a '''table''' like this?

This '''table''' can be copied and pasted.

To '''copy''' this table, go to the '''copy icon.'''

Here it is.

The label '''copy''' appears when we take the '''mouse''' over the '''icon'''.

Click on '''Copy.'''

|-

|| Paste on a libreoffice doc and save.

| I have opened a '''LibreOffice Writer''' file.

I will '''paste''' it here and save my '''document''' in the desired location.

|-

|| Activity slide:

• Prompt 1: "Give the output as a numbered list"

• Prompt 2: "Return JSON with keys pros and cons"

• Prompt 3: "Give HTML table code for the pros and cons"

| Let us do a small activity now.

Pause the video and try the shown '''prompts''' one by one and observe the '''outputs'''.

Start with one example '''format''' first, such as a list.

|-

|| Show all the three prompts and outputs one by one.

| You must have got similar '''outputs'''.

For the first '''prompt''', you may have got the '''output''' like this.

For the second '''prompt''', this

And for the third '''prompt,''' this.

|-

|| Meaning of Structured and Iterative Prompting

| '''Structured prompting''' means giving clear instructions about '''how the answer should be organized'''.

This helps the AI give a '''clear, neat, and easy-to-use output'''.

|-

|| Section heading animation: Iterate

| The third skill is '''Iteration.'''

Think of '''prompting''' like a friendly chat.

Start simple.

Then improve step by step.

|-

|| Prompt box shown

"Suggest a title for an essay on gardening."

| As an example, let's type the '''prompt''' shown on the '''screen'''.

|-

|| Screen shows first answer

| This is the '''AI output''' I got.

You may have got a different '''output'''.

That's okay.

|-

|| Prompt box shown again

"Make it more creative and catchy."

| Now let me ask '''AI''' to, "Make it more creative and catchy."

So I will write the following prompt.

|-

|| Screen shows improved answer

AI might reply, "Gardening Green Dreams."

| Now it is giving the following '''output'''.

|-

|| Prompt box shown once more

'''Make it just two words.'''

| Next, let us refine it further and type: "'''Make it just two words.'''"

|-

|| Screen shows final answer

AI may reply: "Garden Bliss."

| '''AI''' has given me the following response.

Did you notice how small changes guide the '''AI''' toward what you want?

Process of refining the '''prompt''' again and again is called '''Iterative Prompting'''.

Each time, the '''prompt''' becomes clearer, and the answer improves.

|-

|| Summary slide

In this tutorial, we learned three useful '''prompting''' skills.

• First, how to make '''AI''' think step by step

• Second, how to ask for a clear '''format'''

• Third, how to improve your '''prompt''' through small changes

'''Structured''' and '''Iterative Prompting''' makes you an effective '''AI''' communicator.

| Let's quickly summarize.

In this tutorial, we learned three useful '''prompting''' skills.

• First, how to make '''AI''' think step by step

• Second, how to ask for a clear '''format'''

• Third, how to improve your '''prompt''' through small changes

'''Structured''' and '''Iterative Prompting''' makes you an effective '''AI''' communicator.

|-

|| Assignment slide

'''Task 1: Chain of Thought'''

• Choose a simple math or logic question

• Add "Think step by step," at the end of your prompt

• Observe how the AI explains its answer

| Now, as an assignment, try these 3 short tasks to practice what you have learned.

|-

|| '''Task 2: Structure'''

• Choose any topic

• Ask the AI to present the answer in a specific format

• For example, a table, a list, or JSON

• Observe how the format changes the output

|

|-

|| '''Task 3: Iterative Prompting'''

• Choose a small creative task, like writing a slogan

• Start with a simple prompt; improve it step by step

• Observe how the result improves each time
