As AI tools become part of everyday business workflows, knowing how to interact with them effectively is a key skill. At the heart of this interaction is the prompt, the instructions you give the AI. The way you phrase your request can mean the difference between a vague response and precise, valuable output. In this course, you’ll learn how to craft clear, targeted prompts that help AI understand your intent and deliver useful results, whether you're summarizing reports, generating content, analyzing data, or automating routine tasks.
