# Enhancing Response Depth with Generated Knowledge Prompting
`Generated Knowledge Prompting` is a prompting technique where **useful information is generated** prior to crafting the final response.
AI generates knowledge by recognizing the information necessary to solve a problem beforehand, and references this pre-generated knowledge when crafting its final response.
It employs a **single prompt** to generate knowledge and write a response or a **dual prompt** divided into two stages: one for generating knowledge and the other for using this knowledge to write a response.
Generated Knowledge Prompting is abbreviated as `GKP`. According to the [Allen Institute's paper](https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2110.08387), GKP improved the answer accuracy for commonsense reasoning tasks from 64.05% to 70.92%.

## How do you use it?
You can use a single prompt to generate knowledge and write a response as follows.
```text title="Single Prompt Example"
Generate four facts about Golden Retrievers,
then write a short blog post using this information.
