The Art of Prompt Engineering 🎯

Getting great results from AI isn't magic—it's about asking the right questions the right way. This guide will teach you how to master Eyenak AI through effective prompt engineering.

What is Prompt Engineering?

Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting inputs that guide AI models to produce the exact output you need. Think of it as learning the language that AI understands best.

Why It Matters

• ⚡ Get better results faster
• 💰 Save tokens and reduce costs
• 🎯 Achieve more accurate outputs
• 🔄 Reduce the need for revisions

The 5 Principles of Effective Prompts

1. Be Specific and Clear

2. Provide Context

Give Eyenak AI the background it needs:

Context: I'm a SaaS startup founder launching a project management tool
Audience: Small business owners (5-50 employees)
Goal: Create email subject lines for our launch campaign
Tone: Exciting but professional
Constraints: Maximum 60 characters

Generate 10 subject line options.

3. Use Examples (Few-Shot Learning)

Show the AI what you want by providing examples:

Task: Categorize customer feedback

Example 1:
Input: "The new dashboard is incredible! So intuitive!"
Category: Feature Praise
Sentiment: Very Positive
Priority: Low (satisfied customer)

Example 2:
Input: "I can't export my data and I've tried everything"
Category: Technical Issue
Sentiment: Frustrated
Priority: High (blocker)

Now categorize this feedback:
"Love the updates but wish there was dark mode"

4. Specify the Output Format

Tell Eyenak AI exactly how you want the response structured:

"Create a product comparison in this exact HTML table format with columns: Feature | Our Product | Competitor A | Competitor B. Include 5 rows covering: Price, Key Features, Support, Integration, and User Rating."

5. Break Down Complex Tasks

Instead of one massive request, use step-by-step prompts:

1. "Analyze the main challenges in our industry"
2. "For each challenge, suggest 3 potential solutions"
3. "Evaluate the pros and cons of each solution"
4. "Recommend the top 2 solutions with implementation steps"

Advanced Techniques 🚀

Chain-of-Thought Prompting

Get better reasoning by asking Eyenak AI to think step-by-step:

"Calculate the ROI of implementing our AI solution. Think through this step by step:
1. List all initial costs
2. Calculate ongoing monthly costs
3. Estimate time savings (convert to dollar value)
4. Estimate productivity gains
5. Calculate break-even point
6. Project 12-month and 24-month ROI

Show your work for each step."

Role-Based Prompting

Leverage different perspectives for better results:

• "Act as a senior marketing strategist..." → Strategic, data-driven responses
• "You are a technical documentation expert..." → Clear, structured explanations
• "Imagine you're a skeptical customer..." → Critical analysis, edge cases
• "As a creative copywriter..." → Engaging, emotive content

Constraint-Based Prompting

Write a product description with these constraints:
- Exactly 150 words
- Include keywords: "AI-powered", "automation", "productivity"
- Use active voice throughout
- End with a call-to-action question
- Write at 8th-grade reading level
- Avoid technical jargon
- Focus on benefits, not features
