2. Core Usage & Interacting with the AI

Both tools operate primarily through a Prompt Box at the bottom of the screen.

Step-by-Step Basic Workflow:

1. Type a Prompt: Enter a request, question, or instruction in natural language.
2. Attach Files or Images (Multimodal Inputs):
   • Gemini: Click the + (Plus) or Upload icon to attach images, Google Drive files, or code.
   • ChatGPT: Click the Paperclip icon to upload PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, or images.
3. Execute: Press Enter or click the Send button.
4. Iterate (Refine the Output): If the response is not exact, ask follow-up questions or instruct the AI to adjust tone, length, or format (e.g., “Make it shorter”, “Format as a table”).

4. Best Practices for Effective Prompting

To get the highest quality responses from both AI tools, structure your prompts using these principles:

• Assign a Role: Tell the AI who it should act as.
  • Example: "Act as a senior marketing strategist..."
• Provide Context & Clear Instructions: Explain the background and exact goals.
  • Example: "I am launching a new eco-friendly water bottle brand targeting college students..."
• Specify Output Format: State clearly how you want the answer structured.
  • Example: "Summarize the key points in a bulleted list followed by a 3-column comparative table."
• Set Constraints: Limit length, tone, or word choices.
  • Example: "Keep the tone professional, avoid buzzwords, and limit the response to 200 words."
