WHAT IS A PROMPT? WHAT IS A PROMPT-A-THON?
A “prompt” is a task that a user assigns to AI. A prompt can be direct instructions, keywords, questions, and more—the more descriptive the prompt, the bigger the influence on the AI output.
A prompt-a-thon is a workshop designed to offer speaker sessions and a dynamic, hands-on environment to test Generative AI tools. Attendees can learn and grow their AI skills in a collaborative setting.
