Bad prompting isn’t limited to end users. People building applications hitting LLM APIs commonly write short prompts, that lack detail, which results in unsatisfactory and inconsistent results. More than a few times, I’ve chatted with frustrated developers, who think LLMs are over-hyped because a bad prompt couldn’t enable a simple feature. The problem, every time, is their prompt.
And the tool I pointed each of them to is truly a hidden gem: Anthropic’s prompt generator.
Log into their API console and hit the “Generate a prompt” button. Describe the task you want an LLM to complete, hit “Generate”, and dig into your new, effective prompt.
