Prompt Engineering in Action teaches universal prompting principles, each illustrated with concise examples of a prompt in action. You’ll find more than just simple prompt-and-response methods. It goes beyond the basics of prompting to explore reusability, scaling for prompts, and managing stochastic responses. Dive into prompt patterns such as Persona, Game-Play, and Recipe patterns, and into emerging techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and dynamic agents. You’ll soon be building solutions that are efficient, accurate, and highly adaptable for real-world applications.
