Prompt Engineering: Build Clearer Requests

Learn to shape, clarify, and improve requests to generative AI.

Looking for step-by-step tutorials for individual AI tools?

Course overview

A hands-on introduction to communicating with generative AI. Four independently rights-checked videos provide a progression from prompt basics and prompt quality to examples of prompting techniques and clearer written requests. Practise with a low-stakes task, compare outputs, and treat every answer as a draft that needs review.

Explain what a prompt is and identify the parts of a useful request. Improve a vague prompt by adding relevant context, constraints, and an output format. Compare prompt approaches and judge an answer against the task rather than fluency.

No AI or programming experience required. Use a public or invented low-stakes task; do not enter confidential information.
