What is Prompt?
Published
“Prompt” is just the technical name for the text you send. There’s no magic formula, but a few habits help a lot:
- Say who it’s for and what it’s for.
- List what it needs to include.
- Say what should not change or what stays out.
- Ask for one thing at a time.
A vague prompt, like “make a sales app”, forces the AI to guess almost everything. A specific one, like “a form to log sales with date, product and amount, and a list with the month’s total”, leaves little to guess.
The prompt library has ready-made templates you can copy.
