A Beginner's Guide to Prompt Engineering with GPT-4

Introduction to Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the practice of crafting inputs (prompts) to get useful responses from AI
language models like GPT-4. This skill is critical when building applications, writing content, or
automating workflows using large language models (LLMs).

Types of Prompts

- Instructional Prompts: Clearly tell the model what to do (e.g., 'Summarize this article in 3 bullet
points').
- Completion Prompts: Start a sentence and let the model complete it.
- Few-shot Prompts: Provide examples followed by a new input.
- Chain-of-thought Prompts: Guide the model step-by-step.

Prompt Design Patterns

- Role Prompting: 'Act as a math teacher...'


- Format Constraints: 'Respond in JSON format only.'
- Step-by-Step Reasoning: 'Let's solve this step by step.'

Case Study: Rewriting Support Emails

Before:
Hi, your issue has been noted.

Prompt: 'Rewrite this to sound friendly and empathetic.'

After:
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out - I completely understand your concern and we're already
looking into it.

Common Pitfalls

- Being too vague


- Asking multiple things at once
- Forgetting to test with varied inputs
- Not verifying AI responses
Advanced Use Cases

- Use GPT-4 with function calling to power workflows


- Integrate prompt templates into customer support, marketing, or education apps
