The must-know basics of prompt engineering. Learn what prompts are, how AI models read them, and how to write clear instructions that get great results.
Welcome to Section 1. If you have ever typed a question into an AI tool and felt the answer was vague, off-topic, or just wrong — this section fixes that. We will start with the absolute basics and build up the mental model you need to write prompts that consistently work.
Work through the topics in order. Each one builds on the previous, and the practice exercises at the end of every topic are the most important part — reading about prompt engineering is not enough. You need to try the prompts yourself in any AI chat tool to make the ideas stick.
Tip: Keep one chat window open with your favourite AI tool while you read. Pause after each "Practice" section and try the exercise live. You will learn more in one hour of practice than in three hours of pure reading.
