AI Glossary / Iterative prompting

⌨️ Prompts

Iterative prompting is an approach where you don't look for the perfect prompt on the first try, but arrive at it in several steps: you send a simple instruction, see what the model misunderstood, and refine - add context, format, an example, or directly point out the error. This is the most natural way to work with AI and usually faster than polishing a long prompt in the abstract. Good practice: instead of starting a conversation from scratch, refine in the same thread - the model sees previous attempts and understands what you no longer want.
