PromptLab Day 3 of 7

WTF is OQuAT and why it's game changing.

Transcript below

“👋 Intro

Prompt Lab Day Three.

Today, we're gonna move beyond ChatGPT as a good knowledge base and move into an area where I find it really shines — and that is turning vague notions into a concrete reality. ✨


😵 When You Don't Know Where to Begin

So, let's say you're facing a problem that is either so complex or so vague that you don't even know where to begin.

When you're overwhelmed with options, I'd like you to try today's technique:

The One Question at a Time Method — OQuAT.


📌 When You’d Use OQuAT

Here are some examples of when you'd use OQuAT:

  • You'd use it to define your personal brand

  • To write a job description for someone “to save you some time” but you don't know what they should take on

  • You could use it to decide where to go on vacation next summer — and that's what we're going to use for today's examples


⌨️ Today’s Prompt

So please type the following prompt in:

"Help me decide where to go on vacation next summer. Ask me one question at a time until we have three fantastic options."


🔁 You’re in Charge

So just like yesterday, when we talked about how you don't get graded.
You can:

  • Ask ChatGPT to rephrase a question

  • Ask a different question

  • Skip a question

  • You can go back and change your mind

And when you're done, you can simply say:

"All answers, just one more question, and then give my options."


🧪 What You’re Learning

I'm really curious to see what you guys discover.

And remember — the purpose here is:

To get you to learn how to interact with ChatGPT in an iterative way, and be giving it feedback on its responses.

Because that is one of the core skills to becoming a better prompter.


👋 See You Tomorrow

I'll see you tomorrow!”
