Multi-Step Prompts

Multi-step prompts guide the AI through a sequence of actions or questions, often building on previous responses to achieve a complex goal.

Key Characteristics

• Involve multiple related tasks or questions
• May require the AI to remember or reference earlier steps
• Useful for workflows, planning, or problem-solving

When to Use

• For complex tasks that can't be answered in a single step
• When you want to break down a process into manageable parts

Example Prompts

• "First, list the ingredients for a cake. Then, explain the baking process."
• "Step 1: Summarize the article. Step 2: List three key takeaways."

Example Result

Step 1: Ingredients
- Flour
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Butter

Step 2: Baking Process
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Mix the ingredients.
3. Pour into a pan and bake for 30 minutes.

Best Practices

• Clearly outline each step in the prompt
• Use numbering or bullet points for clarity
• Ask the AI to reference previous steps if needed
