Prompt
A prompt is the instruction or question you type into an AI tool like ChatGPT. The better your prompt, the better the result. Think of it like giving instructions to a new employee — the more specific you are, the more useful the output. You do not need any technical knowledge to write a good prompt; plain English works perfectly.
Real-world example
Instead of typing 'write an email', a better prompt is: 'Write a short, friendly email to a customer who hasn't visited my hair salon in 3 months, offering them 10% off their next appointment.'
