How to Prompt AI

In the latest episode of Take It Online, AI expert Akhila Nagula unveils the critical art of AI prompting. She breaks down the complex world of AI interaction into a systematic framework, emphasizing that every professional needs foundational AI literacy. Nagula introduces a strategic approach to crafting prompts, comparing AI interaction to communicating with a sophisticated teenager: precise, intentional, contextual.

The episode deconstructs prompting into five key elements: defining the AI's role (as who), identifying the target audience (to whom), establishing contextual information (from what), determining the desired output (to what), and specifying the communication style (how to). This method transforms AI from an intimidating technology to an accessible, powerful assistant that can be tailored to specific professional needs across diverse industries.
