Use and in your AI prompt chain to refine the responses

Hi gang,

I want to follow-up the Partner Conference Atlanta Practical AI for Instructors: Lessons Learned session from Thursday August 1. This time, I am talking about refining prompts.

Use and in your AI prompt chain to refine the responses​

You can use and in your AI prompts to refine the responses your favorite AI engine gives you. I am using Perplexity.AI, which lets you follow-up prompts. You may prompt Perplexity “tell me the 10 largest cities in the United States,” get the response and follow-up with “and tell me each city’s population from the 2020 census.”

Perplexity.AI lets you follow-up prompts.

CIA Triad in Cybersecurity​

Let’s step into the world of cybersecurity. I am showing how to tweak Perplexity AI’s response to “Tell me about the CIA Triad in cybersecurity.” Perplexity. AI replies with:

The CIA Triad is a fundamental model in cybersecurity, representing three core principles: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. These principles guide the development and implementation of security policies and practices to protect information within organizations.

Perplexity also gives me headings and supporting paragraphs for Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability.

I follow-up by prompting “and write at a 6th grade reading level” This basically means creating shorter sentences with shorter words, thus making the response more understandable. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flesch–Kincaid_readability_tests for more. Perplexity’s response begins with:

Sure! Here’s an explanation of the CIA Triad in cybersecurity at a 6th-grade reading level:…

Perplexity’s new response is easier to read and more conversational….

I follow-up with “and in under 250 words.” Perplexity returns a shorter response. So far, we are prompting:

• Tell me about the CIA Triad in cybersecurity.
• and write at a 6th grade reading level
• and in under 250 words

But wait, there’s more. I follow-up further with “and give me this information in bullet points.” Perplexity. AI delivers, with a response in bullet points. Each heading has four entries. I prefer three. Therefore…

I follow-up with “and make sure each bullet point list has only three entries.” I get bullet points again, but this time each entry has only three supporting entries. All the text looks the same. Therefore…

Final Result​

I follow-up with “and bold the first word in each bullet point entry.” Perplexity gives me a final result I can embrace and utilize elsewhere. That response is:

CIA Triad in Cybersecurity

• Confidentiality
  • Keeps sensitive information safe and private.
  • Ensures only authorized people can access important data.
  • Uses tools like passwords and encryption for protection.
• Integrity
  • Ensures information is accurate and trustworthy.
  • Protects data from being altered by unauthorized users.
  • Uses tools like checksums and hashes to verify data remains unchanged.
• Availability
  • Ensures information and systems are accessible when needed.
  • Makes sure websites and online services work properly.
  • Aims to prevent downtime and ensure users can access resources without issues.

With and follow-up prompts, you too can follow-up Perplexity. AI responses and generate verbiage you can embrace and use elsewhere.

I think a rising tide raises all ships. I will post more here, hoping I do not commit information overload
