What is the SMART Prompting Technique?

The SMART prompting technique ensures that AI outputs are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This structured method is invaluable for crafting clear and actionable AI responses, particularly in tasks where precision and clarity are critical.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Specific: Define the goal clearly and avoid vague language. Ensure the AI knows exactly what is expected.
2. Measurable: Set criteria to measure the success of the AI's output, such as a specific number or result.
3. Achievable: Confirm that the AI’s task aligns with its capabilities, avoiding overly complex or unrealistic expectations.
4. Relevant: Ensure the AI’s output aligns with your broader goals or context.
5. Time-bound: Specify a timeframe or deadline for the AI's outputs if relevant.

Example

"Generate a list of 5 realistic business goals for a startup, ensuring they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound within one year."

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Strength: Encourages clarity and focus in AI-generated outputs.
• Weakness: May limit flexibility if applied too rigidly.

Use Cases
