  • The Sandwich Shop of Prompting: Prompt Engineering to Unlock AI's Full Potential

    Business Media

    Tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini are changing the possibilities of what machines can produce, solve, and understand. "The Sandwich Shop of Prompting" not only shows you how these interactions work but also demonstrates the importance of well-designed prompts when working with any AI applications.

    Tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Copilot and Google's Gemini are changing the possibilities of what machines can produce, solve, and understand. "The Sandwich Shop of Prompting" not only shows you how these interactions work but also demonstrates the importance of well-designed prompts when working with any AI applications.

    The author uses the Sandwich Shop of Prompting as an analogy to explain how we communicate effectively with AI tools by using clear detailed instructions as to what we want. The idea being that if you go into a sandwich shop and just ask for a sandwich, you'll get one, but it might not be your ideal choice, on the other hand, if you give the person behind the counter precise instructions (for example, chicken thigh with gouda cheese and finely shredded red cabbage, and sriracha mayonnaise on white sourdough bread) you'll get exactly what you want, and that's how prompting works.

    The book begins with an introduction to prompt engineering and a look at other essential concepts that we ideally need to understand when using in AI. It then discusses various methods, ideas, and tips, as well as reflecting on the ethics and other challenges of prompting. It provides numerous models, examples, and guides, all designed to help you become a great prompter, with the intention that more often than not, you can get the sandwich you really want!

    More than just a guide, this book is a basis for fundamental AI concepts, practical methods, ethical issues, and the challenges of effective prompt engineering. Filled with models, examples, and useful tips, it helps readers to improve their prompting skills, making sure they can always access AI's full capabilities.

    Whether you're a developer, writer, educator, or enthusiast, "The Sandwich Shop of Prompting" will change how you interact with AI, ensuring you always get the "AI sandwich" you really want.
