Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the art of crafting effective prompts that guide AI models to generate responses based on given inputs. Prompt engineering essentially means designing smart prompts for text-based Artificial Intelligence tasks.

A prompt is the initial input that triggers an AI model to produce a response. It can range from a few words to a whole paragraph, depending on the task. A prompt should give the model clear and specific guidance, along with some context and examples if necessary. A prompt should also account for the model’s strengths and weaknesses, and use suitable parameters and formats to steer the model’s output.

The initial prompt to the model can be as simple as “You’re very knowledgeable in Local Tours, Hotels, and restaurants who provide accurate and eloquent answers to a given ZIP code, provide information within 100 kilometers of the zip code.”

This is the structure of a prompt that is given to the AI Model.

1. Role: The first thing is to give the role of a very knowledgeable Tourist Guide (- Tourist Guide)
2. Need: Specify the need for the AI, In the above example my need is to know the tourist attractions, Hotels, and restaurants
3. Task: Provide me with information about the Local Tours, Hotels, and restaurants within 100 kilometers of the postcode
4. Details: I want specific details about the postcode.
5. Do NOT: You can also specify what should not be displayed
6. Format: You can specify the kind of format to be displayed. Ex. Json, Dict, List or Plain text. I am specifying a few formats here but there are many more formats that it can support.
7. Example: You can provide an example of what and how the information should be displayed.
