Prompt Engineering – The Art of Conversing with ChatGPT
A workshop for non-technical people who want to write better prompts for everyday personal and professional tasks, evaluate the quality of responses, and consciously improve results in ChatGPT.
A practical workshop course showing how to talk to ChatGPT in order to get more accurate, useful, and repeatable answers. The participant does not learn only single clicks in the interface, but works with real examples: creates briefs for conversations with the model, compares weak and strong prompts, builds their own copy/paste templates, tests response iterations, evaluates the quality of results, and designs a simple AI workflow for everyday life and office work. The course takes into account the current context of using ChatGPT, including the role of clear instructions, examples, memory, custom instructions, and working in projects described in OpenAI's official documentation. The participant finishes the course with a ready set of reusable prompts, a quality checklist, a simple response evaluation rubric, and their own mini playbook for using ChatGPT.
What you will learn
- Recognizes why some prompts produce chaotic answers while others lead to accurate results.
- Writes prompts with a clear goal, context, response format, quality criteria, and constraints.
- Creates and uses ready-made copy/paste prompts for typical personal and professional tasks.
- Conducts an iterative conversation with ChatGPT: clarifies, narrows down, compares versions, and improves the result step by step.
- Evaluates model responses using a simple checklist and quality rubric instead of trusting the first version.
- Uses features such as Custom Instructions, memory, and projects consciously, knowing when they help and when they may get in the way.
- Avoids common beginner mistakes: overly general instructions, mixing several goals at once, lack of criteria, and lack of control over response style.
- Builds their own mini workflow with ChatGPT for everyday tasks: from brief, through generation, to review and revisions.
Prerequisites
Basic ability to use a computer and browser, a ChatGPT account, and readiness to complete exercises based on your own examples from personal life or work. No technical or programming knowledge is required.

FAQ
You will learn to talk to ChatGPT in a more conscious and effective way: create precise prompts, build briefs, compare weak and strong instructions, test response iterations, evaluate the quality of results, and prepare your own copy/paste templates for everyday tasks and office work.
Yes. The course is designed so that both beginners and people who already use ChatGPT can benefit from it, but want to achieve better, more accurate, and more repeatable results. Instead of focusing solely on the interface, the course teaches universal principles of working with the model.
Because AI is no longer a curiosity and is becoming a real work tool. According to Gallup, at the beginning of 2026, 26% of workers in the US use AI at work at least several times a week, and 12% do so daily. McKinsey, in turn, indicates that many organizations treat genAI as a technology that will cover a significant portion of everyday tasks in the coming years. This means that the ability to ask good questions and design work with AI is becoming a practical professional skill, not a passing trend.
No. This is a workshop course focused on mindset and practice. The participant learns how to formulate the goal, context, constraints, and expected response format so that the model works more predictably. As a result, the knowledge gained can be used not only in ChatGPT, but also in other AI tools based on similar mechanisms.
The course will be useful for creating content, summaries, emails, notes, research, action plans, office materials, marketing ideas, and structured work with information. It will also help people who want to shorten the time needed for repetitive tasks and better control the quality of AI-generated responses.
Above all, by its practical approach. Instead of promising "magic prompts," the course teaches a process: how to design a conversation with the model, how to test different versions of instructions, how to measure response quality, and how to develop your own simple AI workflow. This approach is especially important today, when — as Gallup shows — many companies still do not clearly communicate their AI strategy, so employees need concrete, independent skills to use these tools responsibly.
