Unlock ChatGPT’s Full Power With These 4 Simple Prompts
Talk is cheap—but prompts are powerful.
While many people overcomplicate ChatGPT with endless, technical instructions, some savvy users have figured out short, secret phrases that unlock its hidden potential.
Here are four lightning-fast prompts that will instantly boost your results—and they’re as easy as texting.
1. ELI5 (Explain Like I’m 5)
Prompt: ELI5 [topic]
Sometimes, you just need things broken down simply. Typing ELI5 followed by any topic prompts ChatGPT to explain it in the simplest, most digestible way—perfect for starting with complex subjects.
Example:
ELI5 black holes
You’ll get an answer even a child could understand.
Pro Tip: You can swap the number for other ages.
ELI10 = a bit more detail but still simple.
2. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)
Prompt: TL;DR
Reading long reports, articles, or documents? Paste the text and add TL;DR. ChatGPT will summarize it for you, cutting through the fluff.
⚠️ Reminder: Always fact-check summaries for accuracy—AI can occasionally oversimplify.
3. Jargonize
Prompt: Jargonize: [text]
Want your writing to sound more polished or “professional”? Add Jargonize: in front of your text to fill it with industry terms and technical lingo.
Great for:
Corporate emails
LinkedIn posts
Formal reports
4. Humanize
Prompt: Humanize: [text]
Want your writing to sound more natural, friendly, and conversational? Just type Humanize: before your text and ChatGPT will add warmth and flow.
Bonus Tip:
You can customize it:
Humanize but keep it professional
This keeps a friendly tone while still sounding polished—ideal for business situations.
