Prompt
In one line: What you type to an AI. The art of writing effective prompts is called prompt engineering.
A prompt is the input you send to an AI — your question, instruction or context. The quality of the prompt is the single biggest factor in answer quality, more than the choice of model.
Examples of weak vs strong prompts:
- Weak: 'Write a tweet'
- Strong: 'Write a 220-character tweet announcing our new pricing page. Tone: casual but professional. No hashtags. Include one emoji.'
