With the rapid increase of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools generating human-quality text, translating languages, writing different kinds of creative content, and answering questions in informative ways, users might find it overwhelming to use.
To address this and to get the most out of these AI tools, Google Philippines recently hosted “Gemini Academy”, a special class on its latest language model, Gemini.
According to Gabby Roxas, Google Philippines’ Marketing Manager, to be able to use Gemini, the first thing you should know about is to understand its capabilities. He further discussed some tips and tricks to get the most from Google Gemini. Here are some of the things he shared:
Define the desired role or persona for the AI. This ensures that Gemini has a thorough understanding of your requirements and can offer the most effective support. For example, if you need help planning a social media campaign, you could start by saying “Act as a social media manager”. Then, describe the campaign goals and any specific platforms or content formats you have in mind. This will allow Gemini to generate ideas and suggestions that are tailored to your needs and objectives.
Talk to it like you would a friend or coworker. Some people may not know the basic way of speaking to Gemini. Ask it, for example, to “write an initial marketing plan” for one of your upcoming campaigns instead of just saying “marketing plan” in your prompt. Avoid using acronyms or jargon that Gemini might not immediately understand.
Be really specific with it. If you have all the information you need, you have to give it to Gemini to get the most thorough output possible. If you’re coming up with creative output, be sure to give a quick background of your company or brand (or yourself), who the audience is, and what you want to achieve.
Avoid making things too complicated. When you ask Gemini for something, be sure to make it simple. Imagine that you’re asking someone else, or you’re being asked—you wouldn’t want to get instructions that you have to decipher to get started on. Be clear and concise.
If you need to ask Gemini for follow-ups, make it a conversation. Inevitably, Gemini won’t always give you the work you were looking for. When you need something more from it, again, it helps to talk to it naturally. If a task is too complicated, you can break it down further into smaller and simpler tasks. Don’t worry—it can keep up.
Don’t let valuable insights slip away. Pin important conversations with Gemini to keep them easily accessible. Whether you need to reference past suggestions, revisit key decisions, or simply maintain continuity, pinning ensures your most valuable chats are just a click away.
