What You'll Learn

Unlock the full potential of large language models through systematic prompt design. Learn how to craft prompts that produce consistent, accurate, and useful outputs across diverse AI applications.

Prompting Basics: Zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot patterns
Chain-of-Thought: Reasoning and step-by-step prompting
System Prompts: Role assignment and persona engineering
Output Control: Format constraints, JSON mode, structured output
Advanced Patterns: Self-consistency, ReAct, ToT (Tree of Thought)
Evaluation: Benchmarking and testing prompts systematically
