Open-Ended Prompts

Open-ended prompts invite the AI to generate creative, expansive, or exploratory responses, rather than limiting it to a specific answer.

Key Characteristics

• Encourage elaboration and creativity
• Do not restrict the response to a single fact or action
• Useful for brainstorming, ideation, or discussion

When to Use

• For creative writing, idea generation, or exploration
• When you want a broad range of responses

Example Prompts

• "What are some innovative uses for AI in education?"
• "Describe a future city powered by renewable energy."

Example Result

AI can personalize learning, automate grading, and provide instant feedback. In a future city, renewable energy could power smart homes, electric vehicles, and public transportation, reducing pollution and improving quality of life.

Best Practices

• Avoid overly restrictive instructions
• Encourage the AI to think broadly
• Use follow-up prompts to explore ideas further
