What is the Question Refinement Pattern?
The Question Refinement Pattern helps you to ask the AI more precise and thoughtful questions, which ultimately results in better answers.
This is how it works:
- From now on, whenever I ask a question, suggest a better version of the question.
- (Optional) Ask me if I want to use the better version instead.
Example of the Question Refinement Pattern
"Always suggest better questions or ask questions that will help you achieve a better result when I ask you to do something. Task: Write a short text on the Question Refinement Pattern."

This refinement will give you clearer, more targeted answers that exactly match your requirements.
Creative suggestions for your prompts
To make your prompts even more exciting and versatile, we have two creative ideas for you:
Language style: Ironic
Add a humorous, ironic note to your texts. For example, try: "Describe to me ironically what a diplomat is." This not only provides informative, but also entertaining answers.
Style: Surrealism
Immerse yourself in the world of art and let the AI paint for you: "Create a picture of an idyllic boathouse on a lake in the style of surrealism." This creates impressive works of art that play with surprising, dreamlike elements.
"Create a picture of an idyllic boathouse on a lake in the style of surrealism."

Ask smart, get more out of it!
The Question Refinement Pattern is a powerful technique to improve the quality of your prompts and the resulting AI answers. By continuously refining your questions, you will quickly notice how much the precision and relevance of your answers increase.

What is a prompt and how does a pattern work?
A prompt is a simple task that you give the AI to get a specific answer. To make the answers of the artificial intelligence more consistent and targeted, we use so-called patterns. A pattern is a recurring formulation that helps the AI to respond in a structured and targeted manner. It's like a little recipe that helps you achieve the desired results.
