Prompt Formatting Techniques Description
Demonstrate Chain-of-Thought Prompting Using a Math Word Problem
Chain-of-thought prompting is a technique where the model is guided step-by-step to arrive at an answer. For example, consider the math problem: "If you have 3 apples and buy 5 more, how many apples do you have in total?" Instead of directly asking for the answer, the prompt could be formatted to encourage step-by-step reasoning:

Prompt:
"Think step by step. First, identify how many apples you initially have. Then, calculate how many you added. Finally, sum the two numbers to find the total."

Output:
"Step 1: You initially have 3 apples.
Step 2: You buy 5 more apples.
Step 3: Add 3 + 5 = 8 apples.
Final Answer: 8 apples."

This technique improves accuracy, especially for complex problems.
Show How Formatting a Prompt as a Checklist vs. a Paragraph Changes the Output
The way a prompt is structured significantly impacts the output. For instance:

**Checklist Format:**
Prompt:
"Create a checklist for writing a blog post:
- Title
- Introduction
- Body
- Conclusion
- Call-to-action"

Output:
"- Title: Brainstorm catchy titles.
- Introduction: Write an engaging opening to capture readers.
- Body: Provide detailed and structured content.
- Conclusion: Summarize key points.
- Call-to-action: Encourage readers to take specific actions."

**Paragraph Format:**
Prompt:
"Describe the process of writing a blog post, including the title, introduction, body, conclusion, and call-to-action."

Output:
"Writing a blog post involves several steps. Begin by brainstorming a catchy title. Follow this with an engaging introduction to capture readers' attention. Proceed to the body, where you provide detailed and structured content. Conclude by summarizing key points and end with a call-to-action to encourage readers to take specific actions."

While the checklist provides a more organized output, the paragraph format delivers a narrative style suitable for different contexts.
Use Delimiters (###, ```, etc.) to Control the LLM’s Behavior in Output
Delimiters are useful for clearly defining sections in a prompt, ensuring structured responses. For example:

**Using Delimiters:**
Prompt:
"### Task: Write a short poem about nature.
### Format: The poem should consist of four lines.
### Example:
Roses bloom in the light,
Stars shine bright at night.
### Now write your poem:
```"

Output:
```
Leaves dance in the breeze,
Rivers flow with ease.
Skies painted in hues,
Nature's vibrant muse.
```

Delimiters, such as "###" or "```", help isolate tasks and control the behavior of the model, ensuring the desired output format.
Prompt the Model to Generate Structured JSON Output for a Product Catalog
Structured JSON output can be generated by specifying the format in the prompt. For example:

**Prompt:**
"Generate a JSON object for a product catalog with the following details:
- Product Name
- Price
- Category
- Description
- Stock Availability
Format the response as a structured JSON object."

**Output:**
```json
{
"products": [
{
"productName": "Wireless Headphones",
"price": 79.99,
"category": "Electronics",
"description": "Noise-cancelling wireless headphones with 20 hours of battery life.",
"stockAvailability": true
},
{
"productName": "Yoga Mat",
"price": 25.99,
"category": "Fitness",
"description": "Eco-friendly yoga mat with non-slip surface.",
"stockAvailability": true
}
]
}
```

This approach ensures the output is machine-readable and adheres to the specified structure for further processing.

Data Product Approach

Why Build Data Products

Companies should build data products because they transform raw data into actionable, reusable assets that directly drive business outcomes. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of operations, a data product approach emphasizes usability, governance, and value creation. Ultimately, they turn data from a cost center into a growth engine, unlocking compounding value across every function of the enterprise.
