Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well and that you're all gaining more knowledge about AI and related subjects.
After publishing over 150 articles on https://voxstar.substack.com/, I have decided to post on Linkedin first and then a link to this article on all other channels.
My primary focus is on AI technology news, given the rapid pace of change in the field. I also cover seed financing to highlight the substantial investment opportunities available. Additionally, I am interested in AI retail, drawing from my experience at companies like Volvo, Selfridges, and Carphone Warehouse, among others.
I'm particularly interested in exploring how AI can enhance the customer experience, streamline the creation of new products and apps, and encourage greater participation in the AI industry. I have now included AI Automotive and AI Healthcare subjects as well.
if you want me to include a particular topic or subject, please comment or message me via Linkedin.

Boosting AI Performance: Crafting the Perfect Prompt
This week’s tip focuses on crafting effective prompts to enhance your AI model's performance. Here’s a simple strategy to improve your prompts:
Example:
```python
# A basic prompt example
prompt = "Explain the concept of neural networks in simple terms."
```
Why It Works: This prompt is clear, and direct, and sets a specific expectation for the AI, resulting in a more focused and understandable response.
Try it out: Experiment with varying levels of detail in your prompts and observe how the AI’s responses change. This iterative approach will help you refine your prompt engineering skills.
?? Section 3: Case Study/Success Story using Prompt Engineering
Companies Using Prompt Engineering to Improve Performance in 2024
1. Microsoft
- Application: Microsoft uses prompt engineering extensively in their AI-driven tools, especially in onboarding new employees and making technology more accessible. Their AI-powered "First Day" chatbot guides new hires through necessary steps and answers common questions, while other tools like Seeing AI help visually impaired users by describing their surroundings. These applications have streamlined processes, improved employee satisfaction, and made technology more inclusive.
2. JP Morgan
- Application: JP Morgan has implemented prompt engineering in their Contract Intelligence (COIN) platform, which analyzes legal documents using NLP. By crafting precise prompts, the AI can interpret contracts more accurately and efficiently, significantly reducing the time required for document review and minimizing human error. This application has revolutionized the way legal documents are handled, improving both speed and accuracy.
3. Baidu
- Application: Baidu employs prompt engineering in its voice recognition technology to handle multiple languages and dialects. By refining prompts, they’ve enhanced the system's ability to understand and process speech, making it more user-friendly and accessible across different linguistic contexts. This has helped break down language barriers in voice-activated services and devices, improving user interaction and satisfaction.
4. Google
- Application: Google leverages prompt engineering in various creative and operational processes, including brainstorming and product development. Their famous "20% time" policy encourages employees to work on creative projects, often sparked by innovative prompts designed to stimulate new ideas. This practice has led to increased innovation and engagement within the company.
Case Study: NVIDIA's Use of Prompt Engineering in Gaming
Challenge: The gaming industry is constantly pushing the boundaries of graphic realism, but enhancing visuals without compromising performance is a significant challenge.
Solution: NVIDIA used prompt engineering to develop advanced AI-driven graphics technologies like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and ray tracing. By carefully crafting prompts that guide the AI in generating detailed and realistic graphics, NVIDIA was able to enhance the visual experience in games while maintaining high performance.
Impact: This approach set new industry standards for gaming graphics, providing gamers with more lifelike and immersive experiences. The use of prompt engineering in this context not only improved the end product but also streamlined the development process, allowing for faster innovation in game design.
