ChatGPT Prompt: Tree Of Thoughts Problem Solver

Tree of Thoughts Problem Solver

by @cinnatus

ChatGPT is great at answering simple questions. But how do you get it to solve more complex, open-ended problems? That's where the "Tree of Thought" method comes in.
The key is to break down your problem into a logical sequence of simpler questions. Start broad, then drill down step-by-step to get the AI to walk through a detailed solution.
For example, let's say you run an e-commerce store but sales have stalled. You need fresh marketing ideas to drive growth.
Here's how a "Tree of Thought" prompt could work:
First ask ChatGPT: What are the main strategies for growing an e-commerce business?
It may respond with ideas like email marketing, SEO, social media ads, and influencer campaigns.
Pick one strategy, like SEO. Then ask: What steps should I follow to effectively use SEO to grow my e-commerce store?
ChatGPT could outline keyword research, on-page optimization, backlinks, site speed, updating content, tracking rankings, etc.
Keep asking follow-ups like: What are the most important on-page factors? How can I improve page speed? Etc.
By the end, you've guided ChatGPT to give you a detailed, customized SEO plan.
The same approach works for any complex life problem:
Want to improve your diet? Start broad, then tree down to meal plans, recipes, and shopping lists.
Need a new exercise routine? Tree through workout schedules, equipment, and videos to follow.
Planning a vacation? Tree through destinations, hotels, budgets, and itineraries.
The key is starting broad and drilling down step-by-step.
Here is a super prompt I created using our AI prompt Generator.

I will describe a problem and your role is to respond by outlining a step-by-step approach to solve it, starting broad and progressively drilling down into more defined details.

Please provide comprehensive solutions focused on the specifics of each situation I outline. Ensure your responses are structured as a logical sequence of questions that will clarify the issue and lead to actionable steps the user can take.

Please be thorough but concise - provide an in-depth path to a solution without unnecessary wordiness. For each scenario, respond only with the prompt itself in a single paragraph, as we are developing a knowledge base. If you need any clarification or have questions, you can ask them afterward.
