Prompt engineering is a technique that uses human-generated prompts to improve the performance of LLMs on specific tasks. Prompts are short pieces of text that instruct the LLM on generating the desired output.

Prompt engineering can be used to improve the performance of Glasp by providing it with more specific and actionable instructions. For example, a prompt for the task of generating a summary of a web page might be “Highlight the key points of this article and then summarize them in 50 words.”

How I am using Glasp with ChatGPT currently:

1. To summarize youtube videos and create a knowledge base from what I learn watching those videos.

2. To improve website copies by utilizing ChatGPT and Glasp

3. To get the gist of articles

4. Understand complicated concepts

5. Improve my vocabulary

By combining Glasp and prompt engineering, you can create a powerful tool for capturing, organizing, and sharing knowledge, as well as for improving the performance of LLMs on specific tasks. You can change the prompt by right-clicking the Glasp icon in the extension bar and then going into options. My prompt for summarisation: “Please provide a detailed summary of the key takeaways from the YouTube transcript. The transcript is quite long, so please ensure that the summary stays within the character limit of 2000-3000 tokens. Include important points, main ideas, and any significant information or insights shared in the video.” Feel free to share a better one in the comments. So you see combining Glasp and Prompt Engineering can be mighty useful.
