Prompt IA: an effective practical guide

Points to remember

• A clear and precise prompt always yields better answers.
• Context, role, and constraints are essential.
• It is helpful to repeat this process several times to refine the result.
• Ready-to-use structures make the work easier.
• Acceptance testing helps avoid unpleasant surprises.

What is an AI prompt?

I'm going to tell you about a word that seems mysterious, but is actually very simple. A prompt is the instruction you give to an artificial intelligence. It’s a bit like talking to a coworker, except that in this case, the machine doesn’t make any guesses—it follows your instructions to the letter. The more specific you are, the more likely you are to get what you want.

For example, if you type «tell me a story,» the result will be unpredictable. But if you specify «write a short, funny story for a 7-year-old, featuring a rabbit and a red umbrella,» you’ll see how much the quality improves.
