AI Dictionary › Prompting

Prompting

Prompting is the act and practice of formulating instructions for generative AI models. It is not simply about writing text: prompting is a technical skill that combines structured thinking, knowledge of how AI models work, and precise communication ability.

Definition

Good prompting requires clearly defining the role the AI should play, the context of the request, the specific goal of the output, constraints to respect, the desired format, the target audience, and efficiency in token use. These seven dimensions are at the core of the Grace method.

Effective prompting is a cross-disciplinary skill: it works with any AI model, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Mistral, Llama, and in any professional domain.

How it's used in Grace

Grace is built entirely around prompting. Every exercise puts you in a realistic professional scenario and measures the quality of your prompting on 7 dimensions defined by a public rubric. With consistent practice and instant feedback, Grace students develop systematically better prompting within a few weeks.
