AI Dictionary › Prompting

Prompt

A prompt is the textual instruction a user provides to an AI model to obtain a specific output. It is, essentially, the language used to communicate with AI: the more precise, detailed and structured the prompt, the more useful and relevant the response will be.

Definition

There is no single correct form of prompt: it can be a question, a command, a scenario description, a role to play, or a combination of these elements. The quality of the prompt largely determines the quality of the output generated by the model.
