Prompt Engineering
Get reliable work out of a language model. What actually changes the output, what only feels like it does, and how to debug a prompt instead of rewriting it hopefully.
Written in house, from the work rather than from a syllabus. Every example is one we would use ourselves, and every quiz question explains why its answer is right.
What you’ll learn
- Tell the difference between a constraint and a wish
- Use examples to show a format rather than describe it
- Ask for structured output you can actually parse
- Know when reasoning steps help and when they are theatre
- Debug a prompt by changing one thing at a time
- Recognise prompt injection and why untrusted text is dangerous
Before you start
- · Generative AI Foundations, or an understanding that models predict text
- · No coding required
