Prompt Engineering - Example-Driven Prompting
Apply this prompt engineering principle, Example-Driven Prompting or Few Shot Prompting or Give Examples, to get better prompt results and to boost your efficiency
Prompt Engineering Principle 7 - focuses on Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples, also known as few-shot prompting. This involves providing the AI with specific examples or a structured format to follow, which helps guide the model towards producing the desired type of content or response. Here's how you can apply this principle in practice:
Without Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Write a review for the latest model of the XYZ smartphone."
With Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Write a review for the latest model of the XYZ smartphone. Here are some examples of points to cover:
1. Camera Quality: Describe the resolution and special features like night mode.
2. Battery Life: Provide insights into the battery lifespan and charging speed.
3. User Interface: Discuss the ease of navigation and availability of custom settings."
Without Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Create a 7-day healthy meal plan."
With Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Create a 7-day healthy meal plan. Here's the format to follow for each day:
1. Breakfast: Include a protein source and a fruit.
2. Lunch: Describe a balanced meal with protein, vegetables, and a whole grain.
3. Dinner: Suggest a light meal with lean protein and vegetables.
4. Snacks: Provide two healthy snack options."
Without Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Explain how to set up a VPN on a home network."
With Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting:
Prompt: "Explain how to set up a VPN on a home network. Follow this structure for the guide:
1. Introduction: Briefly describe what a VPN is and its benefits for a home network.
2. Requirements: List the necessary equipment and software.
3. Step-by-Step Instructions: Provide detailed steps for setting up the VPN.
4. Troubleshooting: Offer solutions for common issues encountered during setup."
In each of these examples Principle 7 - Example-Driven Prompting or Give Examples or Few Shot Prompting is applied by including specific examples or a clear structure for the model to follow. This approach helps in guiding the model to produce content that is well-organized, comprehensive, and aligned with the user's expectations.
