ChatGPT used for Dungeons & Dragons-like game called QuestGPT! Techniques: reflection, step by step
04/13/23 • 32 min
Adam and Bruno are part of a team that built an awesome game on top of ChatGPT. It's called QuestGPT [ https://questgpt.io ] and I brought them on to talk about that.
Quote:
"Temperature is one of the knobs we can tune to say how engaging we want it to be, but also how correct and predictable do we want it to be. For example, we have this character creation menu where we dynamically generate descriptions of your character based on some personality test, basically. And for that we want it to be funny and to be all out. So we want that to be like higher temperature for that.
But when we're storytelling, of course we want it to be engaging, but if you get it to be too hot, it'll lose its purpose at some point. It'll forget what it's trying to do. So we want to not let that to be too hot."
Topics and techniques discussed:
- role playing
- reflection
- the temperature parameter, what it does
- using multiple agents within ChatGPT, and even multiple *separate* conversations (with their own temperature values) to work together
- generating art in MidJourney

ChatGPT Prompt Engineering Mastermind: we worked on Zoom to improve each other's prompts! April 6
The first Prompt Engineering Mastermind! 50+ people attended.
To attend the next mastermind, register here: https://www.promptengineeringmastermind.com
People presented prompts for us to collaboratively improve:
- Prompt for instructions on how to building a website using WordPress. ChatGPT fixated on prior information. Starting a new conversation cleared that out.
- Prompt for a "therapist-like" persona, that leads a conversation and responds contextually. We experimented and ultimately settled on not just roleplaying, but roleplaying with a specific famous therapist, and got good results.
- Prompt for creating carousel content (e.g. swipeable slide content typically found on Instagram and LinkedIn). The biggest improvement were telling ChatGPT to:
- Generate the text first, then "step by step" (which forces meta-cognition) break it into separate phrases for each of the 10 slides.
- Ensure each slide builds upon the previous one and creates a cohesive narrative. The final result is more connected and improved, meeting the user's objectives.
Additional topics we covered:
- Helpful extensions for ChatGPT
- The importance of using one conversation for a prompt building prompt, and testing each iteration of that prompt in a *new* conversation
- In-depth explanation of meta prompting, which involves building a persona model for ChatGPT to help it interact more effectively
- Poll of the attendees overwhelmingly voted for masterminds being weekly, rather than biweekly.

ChatGPT mastermind on prompt engineering: planning events, analysis of prompts selling on PromptBase
For the second mastermind on ChatGPT and prompt engineering, I actually hosted two masterminds: one for US time zones, and one for the rest of the globe. This is the recording from the latter; US recording coming soon!
Topics and techniques discussed:
- role playing
- step by step
- prompt ideation tool
- and more!
Since none of the attendees had a prompt, they wanted to work on, I opened up a analysis done of the prompts being sold on PromptBase.com and we picked out a category. Then we looked at the top prompts in that category for inspiration and started building our own.
