Using a framework for prompts guides effective use of AI. Using the CRAFT acronym helps with prompt engineering in a streamlined way. It stands for:
Context – background information
Role – who the AI should act as
Audience – who the response is for
Format – how the answer should be structured
Task – what you want done
Using these five pieces helps the AI give more accurate, useful, and well-structured answers.
