Click the tabs below to see analogies for different prompting techniques. Tap the 'technical' toggle on the right to see the usual explanation.
In a future post, I share criteria and guiding principles for choosing prompting techniques best suited for your specific task.
Simple analogy:
- Brief: "Create a travel plan for a 3-day, 2-night stay in Paris."
- Explanation: This brief does not provide any specific examples or detailed instructions. The intern is expected to rely on their general understanding or pre-existing knowledge about travel planning.
- Why it works: Zero-shot prompting is effective when the intern has a good base knowledge of the task. It allows for creative freedom and initiative.
