When you signup for Blotato, you automatically get a library of high-quality AI writing prompts.
(I'll add more prompts every week!)
These default prompts include examples from proven viral posts. That's why they work out-of-the-box. But if you don't like the output, then you can easily modify them.
This post will show you how to edit these default prompts, so the output is closer to what you want.
For example, let's take the default Structured bullet points prompt:
# CONTEXT
Infer the topic from the sources provided.
# WRITING STYLE
Here’s how you always write:
<writing_style>
- Your writing style is spartan and informative.
- Use clear, simple language.
- Employ short, impactful sentences.
- Incorporate bullet points for easy readability.
- Use frequent line breaks to separate ideas.
- Use active voice; avoid passive voice.
- Focus on practical, actionable insights.
- Use specific examples and personal experiences to illustrate points.
- Incorporate data or statistics to support claims when possible.
- Ask thought-provoking questions to encourage reader reflection.
- Use ""you"" and ""your"" to directly address the reader.
- Avoid metaphors and clichés.
- Avoid generalizations.
- Do not include common setup language in any sentence, including: in conclusion, in closing, etc.
- Do not output warnings or notes—just the output requested.
- Do not use hashtags.
- Do not use semicolons.
- Do not use emojis.
- Do not use asterisks.
- Do not use adjectives and adverbs.
- Do NOT use these words:
""""""can, may, just, that, very, really, literally, actually, certainly, probably, basically, could, maybe, delve, embark, enlightening, esteemed, shed light, craft, crafting, imagine, realm, game-changer, unlock, discover, skyrocket, abyss, you're not alone, in a world where, revolutionize, disruptive, utilize, utilizing, dive deep, tapestry, illuminate, unveil, pivotal, enrich, intricate, elucidate, hence, furthermore, realm, however, harness, exciting, groundbreaking, cutting-edge, remarkable, it. remains to be seen, glimpse into, navigating, landscape, stark, testament, in summary, in conclusion, moreover, boost, bustling, opened up, powerful, inquiries, ever-evolving""""""
</writing_style>
# PLANNING
Your goal is to write a viral social media post based on the provided sources.
1. Analyze the provided sources thoroughly.
2. Study the <example1> and <example2> posts below carefully. You will be asked to replicate their:
- Overall structure.
- Tone and voice.
- Formatting (including line breaks and spacing).
- Length (aim for a similarly detailed post).
- Absence of emojis.
- Use of special characters (if any).
- Emotional resonance.

It doesn't matter if you have the biggest model.
Inference scaling is the future.
And it is now in production.
→ It means we can now focus on search instead of just learning.
This is a game-changer for AI.
Here are 5 key points to understand:
Smaller Models for Reasoning
↳ You don’t need huge models for reasoning.
↳ A small “reasoning core” can call tools like browsers and code verifiers.
Shift in Compute Usage
↳ More compute is now used for serving inference.
↳ LLMs simulate many strategies to find good solutions, like AlphaGo’s MCTS.
Inference Scaling Laws
↳ OpenAI likely knew about inference scaling laws before academia.
↳ Recent papers on Arxiv confirm the effectiveness of inference scaling.
Challenges in Production
↳ Real-world reasoning problems are complex.
↳ Deciding when to stop searching and how to factor in compute costs are tough.
Data Flywheel Effect
↳ Correct answers generate mini datasets for training.
↳ This improves future versions of GPT, similar to AlphaGo’s value network.
Understanding these points will help you grasp the significance of OpenAI Strawberry (o1).

<example2>
Too many people overcomplicate LinkedIn (me included)
Here's the 5-steps I used to grow and get clients faster:
(Gurus charge $500 for this, save this for later)
1. Create one simple offer
2. Focus on one problem to solve
3. Create content around everyday
4. Build a portfolio of your work on LI
5. Connect with 10 people a day, DM 5.
Do this, and market yourself shamelessly.
Build your credibility via success with that 1 offer first.
Then, amplify your results by creating content about it.
Like I say talk about you, but also about them.
Solve a problem for your audience.
DM those who engage with you
This is mega-simple, but it works. Every time.

# OUTPUT
Follow the GUIDELINES below to write the post. Use your analysis from step 1 and step 2. Use the provided sources as the foundation for your post, expanding on it significantly while maintaining the style and structure of the examples provided from step 2. You MUST use information from the provided sources. Make sure you adhere to your <writing_style>.
Here are the guidelines:
<guidelines>
Pay special attention to the opening. The first three lines are crucial:
• Make them concise and impactful
• Use short words and sentences
• Capture the essence of why this topic is important
• Mimic the style of the template's opening precisely
Structure your post as follows:
• Hook (first 3 lines)
• Brief explanation of the concept
• Why it matters (backed by research or expert opinions)
• A clear solution or takeaway
• Detailed steps or points (if applicable)
• Concluding thought
• Each sentence should be on its own line
</guidelines>
Take a deep breath and take it step-by-step!
# INPUT
Use the following information sources:
{{ source }}
Every default prompt is long like this, because it's filled with context, instructions, and examples.
To modify a default prompt, I recommend only changing 3 places:
<example1>
<example2>
<guidelines>
Replace the text in <example1> and <example2> with sample posts you like. They can be your own posts or someone else's posts you like.
Edit the text in <guidelines> to change the overall structure and requirements of the post.
I don't recommend editing anything outside of those 3 tags, unless you're already pretty comfortable with modifying prompts to your liking.
