Gen AI: Tip #2 (Control How ChatGPT Responds with This Simple Prompting Trick)

Dheeraj Gambhir, 2025-05-092025-05-09

Tired of AI giving too much or too little info? Here’s something that can help. Use this prompt at the start of your conversation:

“If I add * at the end of my question, please provide a concise, to-the-point response. If I add **, provide a full and comprehensive response. If I do not provide any symbols, please provide a standard response.”

Now, guide ChatGPT’s response style like this:

🔹 Add * → Short and crisp
🔹 Add ** → Deep and detailed
🔹 No symbol → Balanced by default

✅ Why it works:

  • You stay in control of the depth
  • No need to rewrite your prompt every time
  • It works across any use case — writing, planning, learning, and ideating

Small tweak. Huge flexibility. Try it and see the difference. 🚀
