Prompting is the process of having a chat with an AI (Artificial Intelligence) or ML (Machine Learning) model using natural language. When you ask GPT a question or give it a request, it takes what you say and responds in the same language you used. This process, known as NLP (natural language processing), lets the AI understand and generate human-like text based on your prompt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Does a Prompt Consist Of? Prompts can vary depending on what you need, but they generally have four main parts: 1. Instruction: A specific task or instruction you want the model to perform. 2. Context: Any extra information or background that helps the model give better responses. 3. Input Data: The question or input you need a response for. 4. Output Indicator: The type or format of the answer you're looking for. Not every prompt will include all these parts, but knowing them can help you create better prompts for different situations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Practical Uses of Prompting: Prompting is super useful for everyday tasks, especially for research and writing help. But "research" here is a bit broader than the usual digging through books and articles. Let’s look at an example of how research with GPT can work I personally like to hike and fish and I use GPT to help me find new places to visit all the time, as well as planning weekend trips. So let’s ask GPT “What are the best options for late spring hiking within 40 minutes of [my location]?” (Photo 1) This will give you a very neat list of hiking trails and parks near you that you can visit, you can also further research individual parks by simply asking questions about some that have been listed.

Langchain's Agent page - https://python.langchain.com/v0.2/docs/concepts/#agents CrewAI - https://github.com/joaomdmoura/crewAI This repo allows you to chain multiple agents together to solve complex tasks. One of the most powerful tools I've seen available at the moment. AutoGPT - the original agent https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT Where I'd recommend starting if you're new to agents and how they work.
