Let’s just clear something up
AI isn't just one single thing; it's more like a big family with lots of different members. You might have seen movies like I-Robot, where they show AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) - this type of AI can think and feel just like a human. But don't worry, that's still just make-believe! 😅 The real AI we use every day is way more down-to-earth. Like when Netflix suggests shows you might like based on what you've watched before, or the technology that helps self-driving cars see the road - these are examples of the practical kinds of AI we interact with all the time.

What we mean by AI
Generative AI.
This is essentially a type of AI that can create or generate new content, ideas, or solutions from human input. This could be anything from writing a poem, composing music, designing an image, or even coming up with a strategy for a game. If you’ve used Chat-GPT, you’ve already been using GenAI.
In our case, we’re talking about how GenAI can help us save time and create more high quality work.
There are lots of concepts related to AI we could introduce you to. But we’re only going to focus on prompting for today. Why? If you can learn the basics of writing good prompts, you’ll be able to leverage the power of generative AI to its full degree!
Wait, what do we mean by prompting?
It’s essentially how you communicate with AI. And determines what results you get back. The more specific you are with your prompt, the better results. We have a framework that’s useful for structuring your prompts, regardless of what tool(s) you’re using - Chat-GPT, no-code or otherwise.
Let’s get into…
It’s is a four-step process to help you create effective prompts, allowing the AI you’re communicating with to generate specific outputs based on your requirements. It stands for:
