What is a Prompt?

A prompt is the input or instruction you give to an AI system to get a response, based on these prompts the model can then collect info, derive inferences and provide solutions.

What is Prompt Engineering?

Prompt engineering is the process of crafting effective prompts to get the best possible results from AI systems. Engineering an effective prompt also helps in Optimizing Model Efficiency, Boosting Performance for specific task, Understanding model constraint and enhancing model security

Building Blocks of a Well Structured Prompt:

• Instructions
• Context
• Input Data
• Output Indicator

Processes involved in Prompt Engineering

• Define the goal
• Craft initial prompt
• Test the prompt
• Analyze the response
• Refine the prompt
• Iterate the process (repeat steps 3-4)

Prompts Formats:

Prompts can be presented in different formats, which format is being used depends on the task at hand. The types of prompts formats include;

• The Question Format: this is most suitable when you want to extract a specific entity from a statement
• The Instruction Format: this is best used for a summarization task
