# Creative GPT-3 prompts that you can use today.

GPT-3 from OpenAI is a powerful AI tool. However, to use it well, you must know how to phrase a prompt correctly.

Prompt phrasing differs based on what you are trying to generate and also what GPT-3 engine you are using.

It’s sometimes called prompt engineering.

That’s what the 3rd party apps like Copy or Jasper also do – they are internally doing some prompt engineering to get you the results you want from GPT-3.

However, you can cut out the middleman and do the same directly from your OpenAI account. Just use these prompts in the [GPT-3 Playground.](https://harishgarg.com/writing/guide-openai-gpt-3-playground/)

Here are a few of the prompts that you can use to accomplish your goals with GPT-3.
