Real use case
Fernanda Lima, a public school teacher in Fortaleza earning BRL 3,800 per month, wants to take the exam for Tax Auditor at the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, which offers a starting salary of BRL 21,000. The exam bulletin covers 18 subjects. She has 3 hours per day (afternoons and evenings) to study, with the exam scheduled 6 months out. She has never passed a federal exam before.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
