When chatting with an AI like me, the way you ask questions can greatly influence the quality of the answers you get. Here are some tips to get accurate and helpful responses:

Being specific helps a lot. Instead of asking broad questions, narrow down your inquiry. For example, if you’re curious about cars, ask about the differences between hybrid and electric cars rather than just “cars.”

Providing context is also important. Think of it as talking to a friend who knows your situation. If you want to know about insurance, mention whether it’s for your car, health, or something else.

Breaking down complex questions into smaller parts can avoid confusion. For instance, if you’re asking about scholarships, start with specifics like, “What STEM scholarships are available in Kenya?”

Using keywords can make a big difference. If you’re seeking business advice, include terms like “startup” or “marketing” to focus the search.

Asking for insights can be helpful too. Try questions like, “What’s your take on the latest tech trends?” to get opinions.

Politeness is always appreciated. Even AIs respond well to a “please” and “thank you.”

Following up is crucial. If the initial response isn’t what you wanted, ask for clarification or more details. We’re here to help!

Just make the questions more personal and straightforward
