That's right, when DeepSeek doesn't give you the answers you want, the real reason is often yourPrompt wordIt's too "casual". It's like talking to a friend, if you speak vaguely, the other person will be confused too, right? Today, I'm going to share 4 super simple DeepSeek cue word formulas that will help you get the answers you need!
Role-playing formulas: turning AI into an expert
Formula: [role] + [area of expertise] + [what you want]
This formula is like putting an "expert's hat" on DeepSeek to make it think in a particular way.
How it works:
- Role: tell DeepSeek who it is (e.g. teacher, chef, designer)
- Area of specialization: indicate which area of expertise
- What you want: a clear statement of what kind of answer you need
Practical Example:
As an elementary school language teacher, please help me explain what idioms are. Please use simple, easy-to-understand language and give 3 examples of idioms that are common to children.
See, with this formula, DeepSeek will act like a real elementary school teacher, explaining idioms in an easy-to-understand way instead of giving boring dictionary definitions.
The Task Breakdown Formula: Making Complex Problems Simple
Formula: [my situation] + [my goals] + [please help me with the steps]
When you're faced with complex tasks, this formula helps you break down big problems into smaller steps that are easier to understand and execute.
How it works:
- My situation: a brief description of your current situation
- My goal: tell DeepSeek what you want to accomplish
- Please help me with the steps: ask DeepSeek to give clear steps
Practical Example:
I want to start running in the morning for exercise. The goal is to be able to run 3 kilometers easily in a month. Please help me develop a novice running program, including weekly training schedule, precautions and required equipment, as simple and easy to implement as possible.
This way DeepSeek will give you a step-by-step running program instead of a bunch of professional but difficult to implement advice.
The Multi-Perspective Thinking Formula: Analyzing Problems from All Angles
Formula: [problem] + [please analyze in several ways] + [how to summarize]
This formula is like asking DeepSeek to put on "prismatic glasses", looking at the problem from different angles, to help you do a comprehensive analysis.
How it works:
- Question: State your problem clearly
- Please analyze several aspects: list the ones you want to understand
- How to summarize: indicate how you wish to summarize these analyses
Practical Example:
I am considering whether to buy a cell phone or a tablet. Please analyze the advantages and disadvantages of both in four aspects: usage scenarios, portability, price, and battery life, and finally summarize the comparison in a simple table to help me make a choice.
This way DeepSeek analyzes several aspects you care about instead of giving generalized advice, helping you make more informed decisions.
Contextual simulation formulas: generating scenario-specific text
Formula: [what scenario] + [who I am and who the other person is] + [what I want to achieve] + [what tone to use]
This formula is super useful when you need to write emails, text messages, or other texts for specific occasions!
How it works:
- What scenarios: describing specific situations
- Who I am and who the other person is: describing the relationship between the communicating parties
- What do I want to achieve: state your purpose for communicating
- What tone to use: specify the appropriate tone or style
Practical Example:
Please help me to write a leave of absence message. I am a new employee at my company and need to take a half day off from work to go to the hospital for a medical appointment with my department manager. I would like to apologize and explain that I will get my work organized. Please use a polite but not overly formal tone.
With this formula, DeepSeek understands specific situations and generates text that matches the scene to help you cope with various communication needs.
