Prompt Evolution: APE (Action – Purpose – Expectation)
📌 PROMPT EVOLUTION: Exploring AI Frameworks
🎯 Today’s focus — APE (Action – Purpose – Expectation)
🔹 What is APE and why use it?
The APE framework (Action – Purpose – Expectation) is perfect for creating prompts with a clear task, goal, and
result format.
It works best in business processes, analytics, and strategic planning — when you don’t want fluff, but real output.
📌 How does it work?
1️⃣ Action → What exactly should AI do?
2️⃣ Purpose → Why is this being done?
3️⃣ Expectation → What should the result look like?
🔍 Example (before):
Analyze my audience.
💡 The issue:
- ❌ AI doesn’t know what to analyze
- ❌ No purpose → no direction for the analysis
- ❌ No format → results may be vague or unusable
🔥 Improved version with APE — focused and usable
✅ Updated prompt:
Analyze the subscribers of my Telegram channel:
1️⃣ Determine their activity, interests, and engagement level.
2️⃣ The purpose is to identify which topics resonate most with my audience.
3️⃣ Present the results in a table with key observations and content suggestions.
📌 What’s better now?
✔ Clear action → AI knows exactly what to do
✔ Defined goal → analysis is meaningful and to the point
✔ Expected format → structured output that can be applied directly
💡 Bottom line:
Old prompt → Vague and unstructured text
APE prompt → Precise, business-focused result ready for action
🚀 Want AI to deliver results instead of just words?
