Basic principles: How to prompt

Fundamental techniques for making effective prompts that will deliver the expected results.

When you ask someone to perform a task, such as writing comprehension questions for a book like "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," you wouldn't just state your request. You'd likely specify the audience, the number of questions, the relevant sections of the book, and the format of the questions. This level of detail helps ensure that the output is precisely what you need. Similarly, when interacting with artificial intelligence, providing context is crucial.

AI tools are powerful but not mind readers. To get the most out of AI, you need to communicate your needs clearly and effectively. This involves more than just telling the AI what to do; it requires you to provide a clear structure and detailed instructions.
