What is a prompt?

Prompt

A prompt is the instruction, question, or request given to an AI system that guides the response it generates. Well-written prompts typically produce more relevant, accurate, and useful results.

Example: An accountant asks an AI assistant, "Summarize our operating expenses for last quarter," and receives a plain-language explanation based on the company's financial data.
