Introduction
Now that we understandthe process of training and refining the model, let’s explore how ChatGPT uses this foundation to respond to user requests.
Conceptually, it may seem simple: enter a prompt, get a response. However, the actual process is more sophisticated and involves multiple steps.
One of the distinguishing features of ChatGPT is its ability to understand the context of the conversation. This capability is made possible through a technique known as conversational prompt injection. Each time a new prompt is submitted, the entire previous conversation is included through the user interface. This allows the model to access the full context, enabling more coherent and relevant responses.
In addition, ChatGPT uses primary prompt engineering to maintain a consistent and appropriate conversational tone. These are invisible instructions injected before and after the user’s prompt that help guide the model. They ensure that responses are aligned with the intended conversational style.
The security of the content generated by ChatGPT is a key concern. To ensure a safe environment for users, the generated prompt is submitted to the moderation API. This step flags or blocks unsafe or inappropriate content. In some cases, the response itself is also submitted to moderation before being returned to the user.
This complex process of prompt processing, context understanding, and content moderation takes place behind the scenes. These steps work together to ensure that the user experience is engaging, consistent, and secure.
Chat GPT – Use Cases
Given its ability to understand and respond to natural language input, ChatGPT has a wide range of potential applications. Common use cases include:
- Customer service: Answer customer questions, provide information, and solve problems in real time. Useful for companies offering 24/7 support.
- Education: Act as a tutor or informational assistant across various subjects and educational levels.
- Information Lookup: Provide data on topics such as weather, news, or daily activities, both for personal and professional contexts.
- Personal assistant: Assist with tasks such as planning, organizing, and managing information. For example, chat gpt can help in planning the organic editorial plan of a personal Linkedin profile to optimize personal branding.
- Human Resources: Automate and manage tasks from recruitment to training and ongoing employee support.
- Marketing: one of the areas in which chat gpt has amply demonstrated its enormous potential is definitely Marketing. From the definition of an editorial plan for the Blog, perhaps structured following the Topic Cluster strategy, to the optimization of an article from an SEO point of view, to support in the management of the company’s Social channels, even in conjunction with specific automation tools.
Overall, ChatGPT is a powerful, flexible tool with applications across many fields.

Recommendations
To craft effective prompts, keep the following principles in mind:
- Clarity: Be clear and concise. Avoid complex or ambiguous language. Specificity helps ChatGPT understand your request.
- Relevance: Ensure your prompts are relevant to the topic or user goal. Avoid off-topic tangents that dilute the conversation.
- Focus: Have a clear purpose. Avoid overly broad or vague prompts that may lead to unfocused responses.
By following these principles, you can guide ChatGPT to generate meaningful and useful responses.
Please note:
- Always verify sources. ChatGPT can generate likely but inaccurate information.
- Add your personal perspective. Think of ChatGPT as a productivity assistant, not a replacement for your own expertise.
How do I build a prompt
Let’s look at a favorite technique for constructing prompts. I use four key elements:
- Role – Start with: “Act as a XXXX.” Ask ChatGPT to assume the role of a professional (e.g., Researcher, Teacher, Translator) or a public figure (e.g., Elon Musk, Bill Gates).
- Context – Define the audience or industry (e.g., adults, eighth graders, Finance, Logistics).
- Instructions – Be specific about what to do (e.g., write a 200-word text, compose a sonnet, translate this message).
- Examples – Provide sample text, a specific voice or style, or your own writing to personalize the tone.
In the following chapters, we will explore these principles in more detail and explore specific techniques for creating clear and concise prompts.
Examples of prompts
Example 1: English translator and enhancer
In this example, I switched to Italian mid-conversation to get a more accurate response. Notably, ChatGPT tolerated my typo (“Istambul”) and still delivered the expected answer.
Example 2: interviewer
This prompt is used to simulate a technical job interview.
- First sentence: Assigns ChatGPT the role of a candidate interview expert.
- Second sentence: Provides context (industry or scenario).
- Sentences three to six: Explain the rules of engagement.
- Final sentence: Acts as an icebreaker and starting point.
Example: Developer interview questions focused on technical skills and problem-solving.
Example 3: Travel guide
In this prompt, the fifth instruction is key. After giving clear instructions in the first four lines, I ask for suggestions for destinations similar to those already mentioned.
Conclusion
ChatGPT represents a significant breakthrough in artificial intelligence and natural language processing. Built on large language models such as GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, trained on vast internet datasets and refined with reinforcement learning from human feedback, ChatGPT delivers contextually relevant and semantically coherent responses.
The integration of engineered prompts and moderation APIs helps ensure a safe and consistent user experience. As the technology evolves, ChatGPT continues to improve, offering even more powerful capabilities.
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast or simply looking for an intelligent assistant, ChatGPT proves to be a cutting-edge solution in the field of natural language interaction.
