Masterminds on ChatGPT and Prompt Engineering -- brought to you by SynthMinds.ai
Is your chatGPT prompt misbehaving? Are you new, and want to see how other people iterate to improve their prompts? Join the mastermind! Greg shares his screen with ChatGPT with a prompt from the attendees, and then improves it. Or even writes an attendee's prompt from scratch!
Mastermind #8: Sat 11/4 2pm Pacific Time
Attending is only $9.99, which is a fantastic bargain. Greg charges $200/hour on Upwork.

Who hosts it, and how do I know he's good with AI?
Greg is the Chief Solution Officer of SynthMinds.ai and the host of the Prompt Engineering Podcast (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube) where he interviews people about how they build prompts, and the techniques they use.

Mastermind #1
Our first Prompt Engineering Mastermind had 50+ people in attendance! Here's the recording, please click Subscribe!
People presented prompts for us to collaboratively improve:
- Prompt for instructions on how to building a website using WordPress. ChatGPT fixated on prior information. Starting a new conversation cleared that out.
- Prompt for a "therapist-like" persona, that leads a conversation and responds contextually. We experimented and ultimately settled on not just roleplaying, but roleplaying with a specific famous therapist, and got good results.
- Prompt for creating carousel content (e.g. swipeable slide content typically found on Instagram and LinkedIn). The biggest improvement were telling ChatGPT to:
- generate the text first, then "step by step" (which forces meta-cognition) break it into separate phrases for each of the 10 slides.
- Ensure each slide builds upon the previous one and creates a cohesive narrative. The final result is more connected and improved, meeting the user's objectives.
Additional topics we covered:
- Helpful extensions for ChatGPT
- The importance of using one conversation for a prompt building prompt, and testing each iteration of that prompt in a *new* conversation
- In-depth explanation of meta prompting, which involves building a persona model for ChatGPT to help it interact more effectively
- Poll of the attendees overwhelmingly voted for masterminds being weekly, rather than biweekly.
