AI Builder Prompting Guide

Microsoft have released the AI Builder Prompting Guide, This is another useful tool to help with Prompt engineering.

The guide explains 'Prompts are how you build custom generative  AI capabilities in Power Platform, like summarizing a body of text, drafting a response, or categorizing an incoming email. Think of prompts as a way of building custom GPT functions using only natural language'

This comprehensive guide details the art of prompt engineering, providing insights on how to create effective prompts to maximize AI capabilities. 

There are 6 common uses for prompts: 

• Classification of text
• Sentiment analysis
• Rewriting content
• Summarize information
• Extract information
• Drafting a response

From summarization to sentiment analysis, this is guide helps explain prompts and strategies.  It also talks about Chain-of-thought prompting and how to lead AI step by step in reasoning processes. 

What to do when writing prompts:

The guide covers the important discussions that need to be had relating to the importance of responsible AI.

Responsible AI - Metaprompt engineering

Metaprompt design is crucial for generative AI applications. 

The process of grounding or retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the process of grounding your model on relevant context. This grounding can significantly improve the overall accuracy and relevance of the model outputs. 

Azure AI Studio can help you quickly and securely ground models on structured, unstructured, and real-time data, including data within Microsoft Fabric.

'A metaprompt, or system message, is a set of natural language instructions used to guide an AI system’s behavior (do this, not that)'. (see below)

The grounding data should be used by the metaprompt and enforce rules that help stop harmful content generation or user manipulations like jailbreaks or prompt injections.
