    FEATURES OF AN EFFECTIVE PROMPT
                      Some important features of effective prompting are explained below:

                         Clarity: It means being clear and to the point. Instead of using vague language, ask for specific
                        actions like summarize, explain, or list. This ensures the AI knows exactly what you're asking
                        for, so it can focus on the task without misunderstanding your request.

                         Specificity: It narrows down the answer to what you really need. By defining the audience
                        (e.g. Grade 8 students) and specifying the length or detail, you guide the AI to provide a more
                        focused and relevant response. This ensures the answer isn’t too broad or too vague.

                         Context: It gives the AI the background it needs to respond appropriately. If you tell it to act as
                        a "Project Manager" or mention that a delay is due to "supply chain issues," the AI will use the
                        correct vocabulary and tone to match the situation.

                         Structure: This is about how you want the answer to be presented. Asking for a table, bullet
                        points, or a step-by-step breakdown helps the AI organize information logically. This often leads
                        to more accurate and easily digestible answers.

                         Tone and Style: Tone sets the mood of the response. If you want the information to be engaging
                        and fun, you can ask for a playful tone. If you need something more formal or convincing, a
                        persuasive tone will make the AI tailor the language accordingly.

                         Constraints and Boundaries: Setting constraints means you limit how much or what type of
                        information the AI can include. For example, telling it to use "simple words" or "limit the answer
                        to four lines" helps prevent unnecessary details and ensures the answer stays on point and
                        focused.

                         Open-Endedness: This is about giving the AI room to explore and be creative. Instead of providing
                        too many rules, you allow the AI to come up with innovative ideas and connections that you
                        might not have thought of, making it great for brainstorming or exploring new possibilities.

                                PROMPT ENGINEERING

                      Prompt Engineering is the process of designing and refining prompts (instructions or questions)
                      to get the best possible response from an AI system. It involves carefully crafting the wording,
                      structure, and details to ensure the AI understands the task and provides accurate, relevant,

                      and useful results.
                      In simple terms, prompt engineering ensures that the way you ask the AI leads to the desired
                      outcome. This includes being specific, setting boundaries, guiding the tone, and breaking down
                      complex tasks into simpler instructions.

                      For example, instead of asking, “Tell me about photosynthesis”, a well-engineered prompt would
                      be, “Explain photosynthesis in simple words, using easy-to-understand examples for a 12-year-old.”

                      This process reduces confusion, avoids errors, and improves the quality of the AI's responses.
