  2. Leveraging Formatting for Clarity

Formatting for Different Audiences

Adjusting the formatting to suit the needs of different audiences—such as professionals, students, or casual readers—can significantly improve the effectiveness of the response. For instance, for a professional audience, you might prompt, “Format this response with a formal structure, including subheadings and bullet points.” For an educational context, you could ask, “Present this information as a lesson plan with key points highlighted for students.” This customization helps ensure the output is engaging and appropriate for the reader’s level.
