Introduction
This video explains how to effectively communicate with generative AI. It focuses on designing prompts that yield precise, creative, and relevant outputs for business and technical tasks, emphasizing that simply asking a question is insufficient. The video highlights a cyclical process of prompt creation, evaluation, and refinement.
Key Takeaways
- Structure: Organize prompts logically, defining the AI's role, task, constraints, and desired output format (bullet points, JSON, tables, etc.). Clear headings, bullet points, and sections improve clarity.
- Context: Provide specific background information to ground the AI's response. This includes instructional context (AI's role), informational context (data, documents), and conversational context (previous turns in a dialogue). Separate context from instructions.
- Clarity and Constraints: Use precise language, avoiding ambiguity. Clearly define limitations, requirements (length, tone), and elements to include or exclude. This directs the AI toward the desired output and minimizes unwanted variations.
