# Module 5: Persona-Based Prompting, Projects & Notebooks OVERVIEW AI tools become more useful when they understand the role, context and requirements behind a task. A prompt designed for a business analyst may require a different approach from one created for a manager or business strategist. In this module, you will learn how to use persona-based prompting to get more relevant responses for different professional roles. You will explore how to build and organise reusable prompt libraries, create customised notebooks for specific tasks and functions, and manage projects using ChatGPT. You will also explore how project information, custom personas and OneDrive can be used to organise reference materials and support more consistent AI interactions. The focus is on moving beyond one-time prompts and developing structured, reusable AI workspaces that support ongoing business activities. > Tools covered: Persona Libraries, Notebook with Copilot, Vectors with OneDrive > and Projects with ChatGPT.
