Master the art of prompt engineering with this beginner-friendly guide! In this video, I break down the essential techniques for communicating effectively with large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google Gemini.
Learn why specificity is crucial when crafting prompts and how providing proper context about your situation, goals, and background knowledge dramatically improves AI responses. I demonstrate practical examples showing the difference between vague and well-structured prompts, and why asking one question at a time yields better results.
The video covers four key prompt engineering principles:

Being specific and detailed in your requests
Providing comprehensive context
Keeping prompts simple and focused
Experimenting with different phrasings
