That’s why we’ll explain here what ChatGPT can do for your content writing.
It’s part of mastering good prompt engineering with ChatGPT.
ChatGPT commands for creative writing
AI is getting better and better at creative writing. It can generate poems, stories, songs, business books, novels, and even scripts.
They will boost your prompt ingineering with ChatGPT.
P.S : I always recommend adding your personal creative touch to AI-generated content. to make it unique, appealing to humans and search engines.
1. Generate
This command quickly produces specific content like lists, ideas, quotes, or posts, usually without much detail.
For example: “Generate 10 content ideas for AI bloggers.”
2. Create
This command creates original content from scratch based on a topic and clear instructions. It’s used for more detailed and in-depth pieces like blog posts, stories, eBooks, or articles.
For example:
“Create a 1,000-word blog post about the best content writing tips for freelancers.”
Or: “Create an eBook about making money with ChatGPT.”
3. Explain
AI can explain any difficult text or concept in a simple way.
For example: “Explain quantum physics in layman’s terms.”
4. Answer
The Answer command helps AI reply to questions based on either the provided text or its own knowledge.
5. Translate
ChatGPT can translate any language into the one of your choice. You can translate words, sentences, articles, books, and more.
6. Summarize
You can condense any long-form text into simpler words, even specifying the exact word count you need.
For example: “Summarize this article in 200 words.”
The opposite is true too, you can make a short text longer with the next command.
7. Expand
If your content feels too short and you lack ideas, don’t worry, ChatGPT can analyze what you’ve started writing and add more detail.
It can make it as long as you want.
8. Rewrite/Reformulate
You can use this ability if you want the AI to say a sentence or paragraph in different words while keeping the same meaning.
For example: “Rewrite this paragraph to sound friendlier and easier to read.”
9. Correct
After editing a text manually I always put it back into AI and ask: “Correct mistakes.”
ChatGPT commands for organizing your content
10. Outline
This is great for planning your content. You can create blog post structures, an eBook table of contents, or any other writing project.
It helps you save time when starting from scratch.
11. Classify
The Classify command organizes and categorizes information based on the criteria you choose.
For example: “Classify this grocery list by price or necessity.”
It can also compare social networks by market capital, number of users, reviews, etc., and present the data in a table for clarity.
12. Named Entity Recognition (NER)
This command helps AI extract specific information from unstructured text into categories like names, organizations, locations, dates, quantities, or values.
For example, in the sentence: “Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Jobs,”
NER identifies “Apple Inc.” as an organization and “Steve Jobs” as a person.
13. Transcript
The Transcript command allows AI to extract and interpret text from images.
Indeed, ChatGPT is not only about text. You can input any image into the chatbot,then AI can read it and tell you what’s written on it.
It can also do the same with website URLs.
ChatGPT commands for SEO and Analysis
14. Extract
The extract command allows you to ask ChatGPT to pull out the best keywords or phrases from a document, blog post, or link.
15. Research
AI is just Google search with more accuracy. You’ll find with more precision the relevant quotes, stats, sources, products, and anything very specific.
16. Analyze
This command is so great for sentiment analysis (positive, negative, or neutral). It’s useful for understanding customer reviews, social media posts, and more.
17. Compare
People use it when they are confronted with two or several options. This command simplifies decisions.
Here is an example:
“Compare these two blog post titles for SEO: ‘10 AI Tools for Bloggers’ vs. ‘AI Blogging Tips for 2024.’”

Combine Commands
You can combine commands to win time.
For example:
“Outline, then create an eBook about content writing with AI. In one of the chapters, compare in a table the advantages and disadvantages of using AI in writing.”
In this prompt, the commands that I used are: Outline, Create, and Compare.
Add a Personal Touch to ChatGPT Content
Sometimes ChatGPT output will feel like it’s not written by a human. You must add your own experience, give examples, and rewrite some parts manually.
Avoid sentences that are too heavy, complex, and long.
Keep your sentences simple and short.
Don’t hesitate to include some personal experiences that ChatGPT can’t guess.
For example:
“To do the first version of this blog post, it took me 3 days. ChatGPT gave me some commands, others came from research on Google, and most of them came from my user experience with ChatGPT.”
Did you see that? All the previous paragraph was my unique experience. ChatGPT could never figure it out for me.
Add more unique things like that in your text generation with AI.
Do AI Text Generation with Constraints
Text generation with constraints involves imposing specific conditions or limitations on the generated text.
Such as including or banning a particular word or imposing a number of words.
Here is an example of a prompt with constraints:
“Create a motivational quote with at most 50 words. Don’t use the word ‘motivation.’ Use ‘mindset,’ ‘money,’ and ‘discipline.’”
I used random words, and here is what ChatGPT generated from it:
“With the right mindset, discipline transforms your efforts into money, proving that success starts from within.”
It’s cool, isn’t it?
There is also disjunctove constrains.
What’s Disjunctive constraints in AI?
It’s when you let AI choose between different options that you gave, while it’s generating a text.
E.g: “Write a story about online business that starts with either ‘He is happy’ or ‘She is sad,’ but not both.”
The AI will generate a sentence using only one of the two options. That’s disjunctive constraints. When you give many options, AI calculates for the best combinaison.
Does ChatGPT Commands Work the Same for Other Artificial Intelligence Tools?
It depends on the model and personalized instructions of other AI tools.
But most of these commands are based on basic language logic, so AI will understand.
Sometimes you will need to ask several times until you get the desired result. The key is to find the right prompt.
A prompt is the instruction you give AI tools to perform the chosen action.
Anything you write in AI is a prompt.
I’ve shared here the best short-form commands or mini ChatGPT prompts for writing. Use them as the beginning for long-form prompts.
The result may vary slightly according to the AI tool. But sometimes you will just need to ask again or be more precise in your prompt to get the right result.
These are just tips for text generation, it’s a features in all the advanced chatbots.
The most effective are ChatGPT from OpenAI, Copilot (Bing) from Microsoft, Claude AI from Anthropic and Gemini from Google.
All the features shared here are usable for free on any of them.
Don’t forget that the AI model can impact the output.
