- Get consistent structured outputs
- Master chain-of-thought and few-shot techniques
- Systematically fix bad AI responses
Who this is for
Anyone who uses AI regularly and wants to get the most out of their prompts.
Prerequisites
Syllabus
How LLMs Actually Work
Understand tokens, context windows, and temperature — the practical knowledge that improves your prompts.
Structured Outputs
Learn to get exactly the format you need from AI — JSON, tables, consistent templates.
Chain-of-Thought: Step by Step
Teach AI to think out loud — when and how to force step-by-step reasoning for better results.
Few-Shot Prompting: Teaching by Example
Teach AI exactly what you want by showing examples — the most effective technique for consistent outputs.
System Prompts
Learn to write effective system instructions — roles, constraints, and formats that consistently guide AI behavior.
Debugging Your Prompts
A systematic approach to fixing bad AI output — find the problem, understand why, and fix it.
Multi-Step Workflows
Learn to break complex tasks into prompt chains — one step's output becomes the next step's input.
Context Management
What to include, what to cut, and how to give AI exactly enough information — no more, no less.
