Still working on theDeepSeekStruggling with unsatisfactory answers?
Every time you ask a question, you always get an oxymoronic answer that makes you wonder if the AI isn't smart enough?
In fact, the problem may well be in the way we ask ourselves questions.
Summarizing the 5 practicalDeepSeek Cue WordsFormula, these practical tips are taught today, so that you never have to face those ill-conceived answers again, and turn DeepSeek into a good AI that really understands your needs.
Formula 1: Context + Needs + Constraints
Example 1, meeting planning
"I am a Marketing Specialist who has just been promoted to Team Leader (background information) and need to prepare for my first quarterly team planning meeting (clear need), please provide a template for a 90-minute meeting agenda that includes team building, goal setting, and task assignments sessions, taking into account that we are a remote work team of 5 members (constraints)"
Example 2, Study Program
"I am a junior majoring in computer science (background information) and wish to teach myself Python data analytics over the summer (clear need), please recommend a 6-week study plan with no more than 20 hours of study per week and the ability to start from scratch and end up with a practical data visualization project (constraints)"
Example 3, Menu Planning
"I am a commuter who just moved to a new city (background information) and want to develop healthy eating habits (explicit need), please design a one-week MEAL PREP program for a single person that requires fresh and easily accessible ingredients, preparation time that is controlled within one day on Sundays, no more than 500 calories per meal and a budget of no more than $400/week (constraints)"
Formula 2: Identity + Mandate + Requirements + Examples
Example 1, Social Media Operations
"In your capacity as a senior social media operations expert (identity), please design a one-month content posting plan for an emerging eco-friendly home furnishings brand (task), which is required to include 4-5 different types of content per week, each of which needs to have a clear theme, suggestions for accompanying images and interactive guide lines, and highlight the brand's eco-friendly philosophy (requirement), for example, you can refer to the social media operations of Muji or IKEA Style (example)"
Example 2, education and training
"In your capacity as a children's English teacher with 10 years of experience (identity), please design an English initiation program for 6-8 year olds (task), the program needs to include two 30-minute sessions per week each, focusing on developing interest and listening and speaking skills, with games, songs, and interactive sessions for each session (requirement), for example, you can refer to the teaching methods of Oxford Tree or RAZ Graded Readers (example)"
Example 3, Product Design
"In your capacity as a UX designer (identity), please design the main features and interface flow (task) for a healthy eating tracking app with a clean and intuitive interface, with features including food logging, nutritional analysis, goal setting, and progress tracking for users of all ages (requirement), e.g., you can refer to MyFitnessPal's or Lose It!'s user interface and feature design (examples)"
Formula 3: What I'm going to do + what I'm going to do with it + what I hope to achieve + but what I'm worried about
Example 1: Career advancement
I want to prepare a critical project proposal (what am I going to do) that I will use to gain support and budget from the company's core resources (what is it going to be used for?), and I hope to persuade management to adopt my innovative solution and obtain the position of project leader (what do I hope to achieve), but I am concerned about the lack of adequate data support as well as about being questioned about the feasibility of the project (but what are the concerns).
Example 2: Further Study
I want to apply to study abroad (what I want to do), use it to enhance my academic background and international perspective (what I want to do with it), hope to be admitted to my desired institution and receive a scholarship (what I hope to achieve), but am concerned about unsatisfactory language scores as well as the lack of a good match between my research experience and the program to which I am applying (but am concerned about what).
Example 3: Personal life
I want to start a brand new fitness program (what I want to do) for improving my body shape and strengthening my physique (what I want to do with it), and I hope to lose 10 kilograms of body weight in three months and develop a long-lasting habit of exercising (what I hope to achieve), but I am worried that I lack the perseverance to stick to the program and I cannot keep up with the regular training due to my busy work schedule (what is the worry, though).
Formula 4: Needs + Concerns + Reverse Validation
Example 1: Content creation
I need to create a company branding video (demand) and am concerned that the content is too bland to capture the attention of my target audience (worry), please analyze 5 common mistakes that tend to make promotional videos bland and ineffective and provide specific avoidance methods and improvement strategies for each mistake (reverse validation).
Example 2: Skill acquisition
I need to master data analytics skills in a short period of time (demand), and I am worried about time wastage due to inefficient learning (concern), please identify the 5 most common efficiency problems that beginners make when data analyzing and provide practical ways to optimize learning for each problem (reverse validation).
Example 3: Team Management
I need to form an effective remote work team (requirement) and am concerned that miscommunication will reduce the effectiveness of teamwork (concern), list 5 communication barriers that are most likely to occur in remote teams and provide specific precautions and solutions for each (reverse validation).
Formula V. Objectives + Conditions + Verification Methods
Example 1: Learning a New Language
I would like to reach the B1 level of French in 6 months (goal), I am a full-time student who can only devote 10 hours a week to study and have a limited budget to hire a private tutor (conditions). Please give me an efficient plan for learning French and explain how my progress will be assessed, e.g. how much vocabulary I should acquire per month, what types of conversations I should be able to have, and how I can confirm that I have reached the B1 level through a standardized test (verification method).
Example 2: Improving Programming Skills
I would like to master Python data analytics skills and be able to complete a data visualization project independently in 3 months (goal), I have basic Python knowledge but am not familiar with the data science field, I can devote 15 hours per week to study and prefer hands-on learning to theoretical learning (condition). Please help me design a learning path and provide evaluation criteria such as what type of small projects should I complete each week, what key libraries should I master the use of, and what technical difficulty and functional complexity should the final project achieve to prove that I have reached the desired level (validation method).
Example 3: Improving Sleep Quality
I would like to improve the quality of my sleep within two weeks so that I feel energized every day (goal), I am a nurse who works at night, has an irregular schedule, and has mild anxiety (condition). Please develop a suitable sleep improvement plan for me with specific tracking methods, such as how to use a sleep log to record sleep duration and quality, what metrics to use to measure sleep improvement (e.g., how much shorter is the time it takes to fall asleep, what range is the number of nighttime awakenings reduced to), and how to assess the increase in energy levels (validation methods).
When you hear someone complaining that "DeepSeek doesn't work well," smile and tell them so:
