Unit 2.1: Context
Tell the AI who you are, who will read the answer, and what is going on. Two or three short sentences.
In Unit 1.4 you added one sentence of context. That is still the most important one. In Level 2 you can add up to three, and each one has a job: who you are, who will read the answer, and what is going on.
AI එකට ඔයාගේ ජීවිතය පේන්නේ නෑ. ඔයා කවුද (role), උත්තරේ කියවන්නේ කවුද (audience), මොකක්ද වෙලා තියෙන්නේ (situation): මේ තුන කෙටියෙන් කිව්වම, AI එකේ උත්තරය ඔයාගේ තත්වයට ගැළපෙනවා.
The three jobs of context
| Job | Question it answers | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Who are you? | I teach O/L English at a school in Badulla. |
| Audience | Who will read the answer? | My students are 15 and find grammar boring. |
| Situation | What is going on? | Their exam is in six weeks. |
Then the task: Write a 10-minute warm-up game to practise the present perfect.
Context, then task
- ContextI teach O/L English at a school in Badulla. My students are 15 and find grammar boring. Their exam is in six weeks.
- TaskWrite a 10-minute warm-up game to practise the present perfect.
Give the AI a role too
You can also tell the AI who to be. It changes the voice and the level of the answer.
A role for the AI
- You are a patient English teacher.
- Answer as someone who has worked in Korea for many years.
- You are a marketing adviser for small businesses in Sri Lanka.
An AI given a role is still an AI. A "doctor" or "lawyer" role does not make medical or legal advice safe to follow without a real one.
