📝 Output Formatting
Control how AI formats its responses: Markdown, tables, templates. Well-formatted responses are easier to use.
1. Markdown and Rich Formatting
Titles, bullets, code, highlights
Instruct the AI to format with Markdown for organized, readable responses.
"Format your response using Markdown:
- Use ## for section headings
- Use - for lists
- Use **bold** for emphasis
- Use ```code``` for code"
# H1
**bold**
- list
`code`
2. Tables and Comparisons
Side-by-side view
Tables make decisions easier. Ask for structured comparisons.
"Compare [options] in a table with columns:
| Option | Price | Pros | Cons |
Sort by [criterion]"
| Option | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Option A | R$50 | Beginners |
| Option B | R$100 | Advanced |
3. Reusable Templates
Create once, use infinitely
Ask the AI to create templates with [FIELD] placeholders for reuse.
"Create an email template for [TYPE] with:
- Placeholders in [BRACKETS]
- Instructions for filling in each field
- 2–3 tone variations"
💡 Placeholder Example
"Hello [NAME], about [SUBJECT], I would like to [GOAL]..."
