What is Prompt Chaining?
Prompt Chaining is a method used to manage complex projects by breaking them down into a series of smaller, logical steps. Instead of asking an AI to complete a massive task in one go, you provide a sequence of instructions where the output of one step becomes the input for the next. This approach mimics a human workflow, allowing the AI to focus on one specific piece of the puzzle at a time. By layering these instructions, you reduce the likelihood of errors and ensure the final result is more accurate, structured, and aligned with your specific requirements.
Why this matters to you
It allows you to maintain control over the AI process. By verifying the output at each stage, you ensure the final result is high quality and avoids the common mistakes that happen when you ask an AI to do too much at once. It turns a vague request into a reliable, repeatable process for your daily work.
