Prompt
A prompt is the instruction and context given to an AI system for a task. A useful business prompt states the intended outcome, the facts it may rely on, the constraints and the format of the answer. Longer is not automatically better. Missing or contradictory source information should be resolved rather than disguised by elaborate instructions.
Why it matters for your business
Reusable prompts can make repeated drafting work more consistent. They should sit alongside the process, source material and review standard so team members know both how to ask and how to assess the answer.
A business example
An enquiry prompt requests a summary with confirmed facts, unanswered questions, owner and next action, and explicitly says not to invent a date or price.
