Set the tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using AI assistants like Copilot, setting the tone is necessary to get the best results. Copilot offers you a choice between three conversation styles:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker-container\">\n\t<div class=\" wp-block-msxcm-kicker-block wp-block-msxcm-kicker--align-left\" data-bi-an=\"Kicker Left\">\n\t\t<p class=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__title small text-neutral-400 text-uppercase\">\n\t\t\tMicrosoft Copilot, your AI assistant\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t<a\n\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-msxcm-kicker__cta btn btn-link p-0 text-decoration-none\"\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/bing\/chat\/enterprise\/?form=MA13FV\"\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span>Learn about Copilot<\/span> <span class=\"glyph-append glyph-append-xsmall wp-block-msxcm-kicker__glyph glyph-append-go\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Creative:<\/strong> Perfect for unique story ideas, poems, artistic expressions, and brainstorming creative solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Balanced:<\/strong> A middle ground that excels in casual conversations, summarizing news or articles, and giving practical advice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Precise:<\/strong> Ideal for concise, factual responses like writing code snippets, defining terms, or answering specific questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting the tone will guide the AI tool in creating responses with the desired voice, saving you time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-give-specific-instructions\">2. Give specific instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Good prompting requires providing details about what you need and the context around the request. Select the hyperlinks in the examples to see how Copilot delivers different content based on the instructions in the prompt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prompt &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/copilot.microsoft.com\/?showconv=1&amp;sendquery=1&amp;q=%20Create%20a%20lesson%20plan%20for%20an%20art%20class\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Create a lesson plan for an art class<\/strong><\/a>&#8221; lacks specific instruction and will likely result in a less helpful response.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prompt &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/copilot.microsoft.com\/?showconv=1&amp;sendquery=1&amp;q=%20Create%20a%20comprehensive%207th%20grade%20lesson%20plan%20for%20an%20art%20class%20focused%20on%20telling%20a%20story%20through%20collage.%20Include%20detailed%20objectives,%20materials%20needed,%20step-by-step%20instructions,%20classroom%20activities,%20and%20differentiation%20strategies%20for%20diverse%20learners.%20Provide%20background%20information%20on%20the%20artistic%20techniques%20and%20notable%20examples%20of%20storytelling%20through%20collage%20from%20art%20history.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Create a comprehensive 7th grade lesson plan for an art class<\/strong><\/a><strong> focused on telling a story through a collage.

Provide background information on the artistic techniques and notable examples of storytelling through collage from art history<\/strong>&#8220;<strong> <\/strong>offers details and instructions for the type of response needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, the more information you provide your AI assistant in a prompt, the better it can return useful results. Prompting is an iterative process. Start with a prompt and then iterate and build on it to refine your results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-tailor-for-a-point-of-view-or-audience\">3. Tailor for a point of view or audience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing more details about your audience can help your AI assistant deliver what you need quicker. Mentioning education demographics like age, grade level, subject, and personal interests can result in relevant, creative outputs that will engage your audience and enhance their understanding of a concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-specify-length\">4. Specify length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Specify the length of the response you want from your AI assistant. Do you need key points in a bulleted list, a summary in a few sentences, or detailed paragraphs with a technical explanation? Setting this metric in your prompt will help you get results that are more ready-to-use and require less editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-specify-format\">5. Specify format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most AI assistants can format your results to suit your needs. Try requesting the results to be formatted in a table, a diagram, or an outline.
