Mastering Prompt Engineering: How to Get the Most Out of Generative AI
In this series, West Monroe’s generative AI experts offer useful insights and guidance for business leaders looking to harness the power of this new technology.
- Prompt engineering enhances the performance of generative AI by crafting tailored questions and processes. Effective prompt engineers take into account factors such as context, tone of voice, audience, and examples—as well as offering specific formatting guidance and direction. Creating strong prompts requires four steps: developing an AI persona, breaking prompts into distinct parts, learning from mistakes, and providing feedback.
- The key to leveraging generative AI and efficiently integrating it into workflows involves dividing tasks into specific components to identify the most suitable AI tool for each. Treat prompt engineering and generative AI as a new team member to lay the foundation for future AI capabilities.
- Generative AI is revolutionizing software product development. Advancements in generative AI, such as GPT-4, offer enhanced accuracy, language synthesis abilities, and information synthesis capabilities—and these models can comprehend complex instructions, generate outputs in the face of unstructured problems, and comprehend the tone and intent of questions.
- Where traditional coding requires specific instructions for each task, the potential applications of generative AI include better translation functions, simpler data summarization, more effective chatbots, and superior organizational tools. Developers are collaborating and experimenting to determine the optimal way to incorporate this technology into their products.
