Tell it what “good” looks like
A model can’t hit a target you never drew. Add one line of success criteria — “a strong answer cites two sources and stays under 150 words” — and quality jumps without you touching the task itself.
The Amplify Daily Digest
One sharper prompt, every day. Bite-sized prompt-engineering tips, product updates, and AI news from the team building Amplify.
Give the model a role before you give it a task
The single fastest upgrade to almost any prompt: open with who the model should be. “You are a senior financial analyst…” primes vocabulary, depth, and default assumptions before it reads a word of your actual request. Here’s why it works — and three roles worth keeping on hand.
Read the full digestAmplify now scores your prompt as you type
Once your prompt crosses about 30 characters, Amplify grades it live and outlines the box in amber when there’s room to improve — no clicking required. Green means you’re good to send.
Put the instruction first, the context second
Long context buries your ask in the middle, where models pay the least attention. State the task up top, paste the reference material below it, then restate the task in one closing line.
Retire “make it better”
“Better” means nothing to a model. Swap it for three concrete constraints — tone, length, and audience — and you’ll get a rewrite you can actually use on the first try.
Same prompt, different model, different result
Claude leans on XML tags, GPT prefers clean markdown, and Gemini wants the task stated plainly up front. Amplify tunes every rewrite to the model you’re actually sending it to.
