Introduction
Learn the art and science of writing effective instructions for AI to boost your professional productivity with Omnifact.
This guide teaches you how to write better prompts for Omnifact’s AI assistant — no technical background or coding required. Each section builds on the last, moving from basic prompt structure to advanced techniques.
What is Prompt Engineering?
Prompt engineering is simply learning how to communicate clearly with AI assistants like Omnifact. Think of it as learning how to give good directions to a helpful colleague who can assist with almost any task — but only if you ask in the right way.
In simple terms: “Prompt engineering” just means learning how to ask AI the right questions to get the best answers.
Just like giving directions to a new employee, the clearer and more specific your instructions are, the better results you’ll get.
