Writing with Generative AI: Prompt Engineering

Create specific prompts and follow-up instructions for generative AI

An effective prompt for generative AI considers potential audiences, author persona and expertise, tone of voice, response format, and much more. “Write a blog post” will get you a blog post—but not necessarily one you can use. A good prompt is a paragraph, not a couple of words.

In this hands-on workshop, learn to work iteratively with generative AI to mine your own subject matter expertise as well as the right sources and perspectives from within the program’s vast database. You’ll leave with plug-and-play templates for detailed prompting, plus a better understanding of how to continue developing your own generative AI prompts for the writing tasks you work on.

Participants will learn to

  • Construct detailed, specific prompts for the content you want to create

  • Collaborate with generative AI to unite your own knowledge with the right parts of the program’s training data

  • Work iteratively with the program to refine its output
