Role-Based Prompts

Role-based prompts instruct the AI to respond as if it were a specific person, profession, or character. This technique helps tailor responses to a particular style, expertise, or perspective.

Why Use Role-Based Prompts?

• Get answers in a specific tone or with expert knowledge
• Simulate conversations with professionals (e.g., doctor, teacher)
• Practice scenarios (e.g., job interviews)

Examples

• "You are a career coach. Give me three tips for improving my resume."
• "Act as a travel agent and suggest a 3-day itinerary for Paris."
• "Pretend you are a math teacher. Explain fractions to a 10-year-old."

Tips

• Clearly state the role at the beginning of your prompt
• Specify the audience or context if needed
• Combine with other strategies (e.g., step-by-step, examples)
