Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting clear, structured inputs (prompts) to guide AI models toward more accurate and useful outputs.
Why it matters:
- The quality of AI output often depends heavily on the input.
- Well-written prompts reduce hallucinations and improve consistency.
- Used in everything from chatbots to image generation.
Pro tip: Be specific, give context, and, when possible, set constraints in your prompt (e.g., “Write in 3 bullet points” instead of “Explain”).
