Structured Output (JSON & Tables) — ChatGPT

ChatGPTFundamentals From a course

When you need output your app or spreadsheet can actually use, explicitly request a schema.

The prompt

Extract the following fields from this job listing as JSON only, no extra text: { "title": string, "company": string, "location": string, "salary_range": string or null, "remote": boolean }.

[paste job listing]

What to replace

Swap these placeholders for your own details before running the prompt:

[paste job listing]your own value

Pro tip: Always show the exact JSON schema in the prompt itself — models follow explicit key names far more reliably than vague descriptions.

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt using the button above.
Replace [paste job listing] with your own details — the more specific you are, the better the output.
Paste it into ChatGPT and run it.
If the answer feels generic, add constraints: audience, length, tone, and what to avoid. That single change fixes most weak output.

Every strong prompt combines five parts: Role (who the AI should act as), Context (background info it needs), Task (the specific ask), Format (how you want the output structured), and Constraints (length, tone, things to avoid).

Chain-of-Thought Prompting — ChatGPT

Asking a model to "think step by step" before answering measurably improves accuracy on reasoning, math, and multi-step logic tasks because it forces the model to externalize intermediate steps instead of jumping to a guess..
