Data Storytelling – Sample Prompts for AI Tools
Step 1. Gather Data
AI Tool:
Perplexity
Sample Prompts:
10 key facts and statistics about [effects of climate change on global health].
Details about [additional deaths due to undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea, heat stress].
Step 2. Create Data Visual
Step 2a. Generate codes for data visual
AI Tool:
POE – ChatGPT
Sample Prompt:
"DATA"
[Cause of Death, Number of Deaths
Undernutrition, 100000
Malaria, 60000
Diarrhea, 48000
Heat Stress, 38000]
You are a programmer, write Python codes to visualize the following "DATA" (csv) in the following
"FORMAT".
"FORMAT"
[Chart type: column chart
Chart style: no grid line
Title: "Additional Deaths Due to Climate Change", bold text
X-axis: "Cause of Death", bold title and label text
Y-axis: "Number of Deaths", bold title and label text]
Step 2b. Run codes for data visual
AI Tool:
Python-fiddle
Note:
Replace the words in square brackets [ … ] with your own specification.
Step 3. Craft Data Narrative
AI Tool:
POE – ChatGPT
Sample Prompt:
"TEMPLATE"
As <Role>, I am currently in <Situation>, where I face <Problem>, leading to <Consequence>. I
work towards <Goal>.
"CONTEXT"
Adopt a different role for each of the narratives.
"DATA"
You are a data storyteller, creating data stories. Develop 10 narratives following the "TEMPLATE"
stated below and generate content within the angle brackets (< >). Make each narrative specific to
the "CONTEXT" and the "DATA" stated below. You should include data points from the "DATA" in
each narrative. Write each narrative in a paragraph.
[By 2050, climate change will cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths annually due
to undernutrition (100,000), malaria (60,000), diarrhea (48,000) and heat stress (38,000)].
