How do I get a short answer instead of a long one?
You will learn to ask ChatGPT for a short, quick answer.
ChatGPT sometimes gives a wall of words. You can ask for less.
Tell it to keep it short before it answers. Or trim a long one after.
A short answer is easier to read. You can always ask for more later.
Try this
- Type your question as usual.
- Add keep it short at the end.
- Or say answer in two sentences.
- Read the short reply.
- Ask for more detail only if you want it.
A message you can copy
[Your question]. Please keep the answer short, just two or three sentences.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

Saying a number, like in three sentences, gives you the most control over length.
