Prompt Engineering

Prompt Engineering

Prompt Engineering is a core part of Generative AI. In this case file you'll learn what it is, why it matters, and how to use it in real code.

Understanding prompt engineering well means you can read other people's Generative AI code with confidence, and avoid the most common beginner mistakes in this area.

Key points:

  • What prompt engineering means in the context of Generative AI
  • A minimal example you can run or read in the playground on the right
  • A common mistake to avoid when working with prompt engineering
