What Is Prompt Engineering?

1 min

Prompt engineering means choosing your words carefully when asking an AI for something, to get the best possible answer.

Imagine it like this: Asking a librarian "got any books?" gets you a much worse answer than asking "do you have mystery novels for a 10-year-old?" The clearer and more specific your question, the better the help you get — that's true for AI too!
