What is a prompt?

Show ▼

A prompt is the input text or instruction given to an AI language model to guide its response.

What is prompt engineering?

Show ▼

The practice of designing, crafting, and optimizing input prompts to elicit desired outputs from AI language models.

What is zero-shot prompting?

Show ▼

Asking the model to perform a task without providing any examples, relying solely on the model's pre-trained knowledge.

What is one-shot prompting?

Show ▼

Providing exactly one example of the desired input-output pattern before asking the model to complete a new task.

What is few-shot prompting?

Show ▼

Providing two or more examples of the desired input-output pattern to guide the model's response format and style.

What is chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting?

Show ▼

A technique where you instruct the model to reason step-by-step before giving a final answer, improving accuracy on complex tasks.

What phrase triggers chain-of-thought reasoning?

Show ▼

Adding "Let's think step by step" or "Think through this carefully" encourages the model to produce structured reasoning.

What is zero-shot chain-of-thought prompting?

Show ▼

Combining zero-shot prompting with "Let's think step by step" to get reasoning without needing to provide examples.

What is role prompting?

Show ▼

Assigning a specific persona or role to the model (e.g., "You are an expert Python developer") to shape its response style and expertise.

What is a system prompt?

Show ▼

A set of instructions given to the model before the conversation begins, defining its behavior, persona, and constraints for the session.

What is a user prompt?

Show ▼

The message sent by the human in a conversation with an AI model, expressing a request, question, or task.

What is prompt chaining?

Show ▼

Breaking a complex task into multiple sequential prompts where the output of one becomes the input of the next.
