Crafting effective prompts for Google Bard (or similar language models) can be vital in extracting the right kind of information or action from the model.

To add more value and as a USP of my blog, at the end of this blog post, I have designed and attached a cheat sheet of the [websites/tools/prompts/courses] discussed here for you to download and share. Also, I’ll share this month’s bonus tip or best productivity tool that is cheap, effective, and a game changer, which I personally use and prefer. So do check them out and use them. Keep learning and growing.

Here is the Bonus tip for you all:

Bonus Tip: One great tool I recently started using for writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, Co-writer, paraphraser, summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly.

I took up its yearly premium for around $2/month (45% off) during the Year-end sale using coupon code — (HOLIDAY45), valid till December end. The price was literally dirt cheap compared to other writing tools I have used in the past.

Personally, it’s UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.
