A prompt is the instruction or information you give an AI for a particular response. It could be a short question or a longer request with background and limits.
Instead of saying “help with my website,” you could say “explain why this button is not saving the form, and do not change the page layout.” The extra detail helps the AI understand what you want.
A clearer prompt can improve the chance of a useful reply, but it cannot guarantee one. Check the AI's result, especially before acting on important information.
