Chain-of-Thought

Category: Technical Terms

Definition

Chain-of-thought prompting gets AI to show its reasoning step-by-step before giving final answers.

How It Works

Instead of asking "What's 15% of 240?", ask "What's 15% of 240? Think step by step." The AI breaks down the problem: "First, convert 15% to 0.15. Then multiply 240 × 0.15 = 36."

This reasoning process helps the AI avoid errors and gives you insight into its logic.

Why It Matters

Chain-of-thought improves AI accuracy on complex problems. It works especially well for math, logic, and multi-step reasoning tasks.

It also makes AI more trustworthy because you can check its work.
