Learning to ask well is half the work with artificial intelligence. Have you ever asked ChatGPT for something and the answer wasn’t what you expected? That’s not magic: it’s prompting, and like any skill, it gets better with practice.
Qué es el prompting y por qué importa
Prompting or prompt engineering is simply designing and refining what you write so the AI delivers the answer you need. Think of it as talking to a colleague: if you give context, clear goals and the expected format, the result improves.
There’s no perfect way to write a prompt. What helps is understanding a few simple rules and then trying, adjusting and trying again. Why? Because the AI works better when you tell it what to do, for whom, and why it matters.
If you want a useful answer, say it with an action verb: plan, draft, research.
