Prompt engineering

Prompt engineering

Objective: 

Learners will acquire the ability to formulate effective and precise prompts for AI systems (such as ChatGPT or Gemini) using a selected prompting method in order to achieve customized and structured results.

Content and methods: 

The worksheet introduces a method of prompt engineering. It explains the logic behind this method and provides a detailed example prompt. The method is illustrated as a “blueprint” for the perfect prompt. Learners should apply the method to their own use cases and create a flashcard.

Skills:

  • Methodological competence in dealing with AI systems
  • Ability to structure complex tasks into logical, sequential steps

Introduction

You've probably used ChatGPT, Gemini, or another AI program a few times. You may have noticed that the answers are sometimes very good, but sometimes less helpful. This is usually due to the prompt.

A prompt is the input or instruction you give to an AI. It determines what the AI should do and how exactly it responds.

Prompt engineering is used to ensure that AI systems provide the best and most appropriate responses possible. This involves the targeted formulation of prompts in order to obtain better, more accurate, or more creative results.

Depending on your purpose (e.g., gathering information, writing texts, or developing ideas), different methods of prompt engineering are suitable.

In this worksheet, you will find instructions for a method that will teach you how to formulate effective prompts.
