2 WELCOME How to Use This Book This book contains 100 ready-to-use prompts for Google Gemini, organized into 10 short chapters. Each prompt is written inplain language, with brackets like [topic] marking the part you should replace with your own details. You don't need any special skills to use these. Copy a prompt, swap in your own words, and paste it into Gemini. Every prompt also comes with a one-line tip to help you get an even better answer. 5 quick tips for better prompts •Be specific. "Write a caption for my bakery's new sourdough loaf" works better than "write a caption." •Give context. Mention your audience, your goal, or the tone you want. •Ask for options. Requesting 3-5 versions gives you more to choose from. •Iterate. If the first answer isn't quite right, ask Gemini to adjust it rather than starting over. •Paste real material. The more real text, code, or data you provide, the more useful the response.
