If you want a certain output from a generative AI tool, you'll need to know how to craft effective and prompts that will get you the results you're looking for. The art of crafting requests like these is called prompt engineering.
Prompts differ from your basic internet or database searches because there is a conversational element when using generative AI tools, instead of a list of links or documents. Prompt engineering involves strategic structuring and wording of your question to ensure you get a response that has the information, content, context, tone, and format you desire.
