Prompt Engineering

Crafting effective instructions to get desired outputs from AI models.

Definition

Prompt engineering is the practice of designing and refining the instructions given to AI models to achieve desired outputs. Effective prompts provide clear context, specify output format, include relevant examples, and guide the model's reasoning process. In document intelligence, prompt engineering optimises extraction accuracy, response quality, and consistency. It is often more cost-effective than fine-tuning for adapting models to specific use cases.
