The key to AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot lies in what we ask them, but specifically, in how we ask them. This is because this technology only works with the guidelines you give it, and although we may think that it is the machine that creates and makes a generated text or image in one way or another, it is the user who commands through the prompts.
A prompt consists of the command we give to the AI to generate a file or document. The key to achieving the best possible results with these platforms is through exact prompts, something that for those of us who are not professionals in the field may be more difficult, mainly because we do not know what and how to tell the AI what we want.
Creating good prompts is practically an art, and in fact, this is why there are so many linguists and people related to this area working for AI companies as prompt engineers.
Most likely if you often use these platforms, your way of giving instructions will have improved, and the results will be more accurate, however, you should know that they could be much better and with the latest update that Microsoft has presented for its Copilot chatbot, you will be able to achieve expert-level results.
This is because the company has introduced a novelty in this chatbot where from now on, AI will not only generate what we ask, but will help us and guide us in creating the command to obtain an even more precise result.
In this way, when we start writing a sentence in Copilot, it will automatically offer to complete it. For this, AI will analyze the context to suggest how to continue the message and initially obtain results much more similar to what our idea is.
In addition, Microsoft is going to launch another complementary tool called Rewriting, with which the user will be able to write a basic prompt as they have been doing so far, and the chat will elaborate on a more complex and specific one so that the result is better.
This new feature is much more important than you may think, because it allows us to move from making “amateur” prompts to professional ones, which opens up a much wider range of uses for AI in our tasks.
