A prompt is a well-crafted instruction given to an AI model to guide its output, ensuring that the result is as accurate and relevant as possible.
AI systems are not psychic or telepathic: they cannot read your mind (at least not yet). Since they cannot anticipate your underlying intentions, they rely entirely on your input. Prompting is skill that involves guiding and shaping the output generated by the application that you are using (Copilot, Chat GPT, Gemini, Mistral).

Understanding how to craft optimal prompts often requires insight and practice. This entails asking specific and detailed questions or testing out different ways to phrase instructions. This is the most basic way to fine-tune your Gen AI application to elicit better outputs.
