Although ChatGPT, or like LLM models using natural language as interface, works great for many use cases. However, to achieve a desired result for specialized use cases without coding we still need to apply some good prompt engineering strategies.

In a nutshell, prompt engineering is a technique that blends both business and technical understanding — which involves creativity and strategic thinking.

Why the Quality of the Prompt Matters?

While interactions with large language models (LLMs) are natural, the quality of prompts has a crucial role in how they perform reasoning and response generation.

For instance, NASA’s innovative approach use on creation of Bidara bot involves crafting system-prompt designs that trigger LLM networks to generate high-quality responses for users while meeting specific constraints set by both businesses and engineers.
