Prompt Engineering

Category: Technical Terms

Definition

Prompt engineering is crafting inputs to get better, more accurate responses from AI systems.

How It Works

AI responds differently based on how you phrase requests. Adding context, examples, or specific instructions can dramatically improve results.

Instead of "Write about dogs," you might write "Write a 200-word explanation of why dogs make good pets, focusing on loyalty and companionship." The second prompt gives clearer direction.

Why It Matters

Good prompts unlock AI's potential. Poor prompts waste time and produce unhelpful results. Learning prompt engineering makes you more effective with any AI tool.

As AI becomes common in work and personal tasks, prompt engineering becomes a valuable skill like knowing how to use search engines effectively.
