Definition
A technique in prompt engineering where the AI is provided with a small number of examples (shots) of the desired input-output format or task execution. This helps the model understand the expected behavior without explicit step-by-step instructions.
Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)
Used to guide the AI agent on how to format outputs, such as successful booking notifications, and to demonstrate desired voice and tone.
Key properties or components
- One-shot (single example)
- N-shot (multiple examples)
- Can be applied at different layers
- Enhances model understanding and output consistency
Contradictions or debates
None.
