Write Prompts that Work - the Art of the Prompt

Think of prompt engineering as having a conversation with an AI - your words shape its response. It’s about writing your messages (prompts) to get the most helpful and accurate responses while being efficient with the AI’s processing power.

You’ve probably seen countless “ultimate prompt guides” and “secret prompt techniques” online. Here’s the truth: there’s no single “perfect prompt” that works for everything. Instead of looking for magic formulas, focus on understanding the core principles that make prompts effective.

Great prompting is iterative - you start with a basic prompt, see how it performs, and refine it based on the results. Think of it like tuning an instrument until you get the right note.
