The FAST+ER Framework for Effective AI Prompts
Volta, 1800 Argyle St Unit 801, Halifax, NS, CALarge language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and Claude are increasingly prevalent in both professional and personal settings. However, the quality of an LLM’s output is directly influenced by the quality of its input. Weak prompts that lack essential elements will lead to unsatisfactory results.
In this talk, we will explore strategies for crafting effective AI prompts. We will delve into Nikki Anderson’s FAST framework for product prompts, incorporating a few practical tips. Additionally, we will examine how LLMs can be trained to utilize this framework to identify and improve weak prompts.
