Prompt Engineering

Anyone using AI Studio to practice and improve prompt engineering skills? Having AI write the code to develop an app allows me to practice guiding it, nudging it, and outright correcting it. Welcome any discussion on this side of AI Studio use.

Can you clarify more specifically what is meant by “practice and improve prompt engineering skills”?

Thank you for your question!

I’ve been learning about prompt engineering (and AI generally) on Coursera, and by experimenting with various AIs, and once I started exploring what can be done in AI Studio, I realized that it is a rich playground for practicing various prompt engineering skills, because you are directing AI to perform very complex tasks–which it does well enough, but never quite right. Where else could one see the direct results of their AI prompting skills in a real-time environment?

So, my focus here is discussions about the skills needed to guide AI through complex tasks.

One of the key skills to develop is learning how to create your own very clear and unambiguous ‘System Instructions’ to guide the Gemini AI in generating code based on your preferences, such as CSS styling, UI structure, or specific technologies and libraries. These System Instructions can be added through the Advanced Settings in Google AI Studio.

Thank you! I’ve seen the System Instructions option, but haven’t looked at it yet. Now I have the idea to try what you suggest; I learn a lot by looking at the code generated, and while my Python reading is adequate, and I have been learning a lot about markdown, I haven’t explored CSS/HTML yet. There are, of course, other coding sources used of which I know nothing! Guiding the AI to stick to what I know and am ready to learn will help my focus.

Thanks!

Keep in mind that Google AI Studio Code Assistant currently generates code exclusively in the React (TypeScript) environment. It’s still an excellent resource for learning and exploring it!

Do you know how much businesses use AI (like Studio) to develop or modify AI apps? Are there job positions for this?
