What is Prompt engineering?
Updated May 2026
Prompt engineering is the practice of writing instructions for AI that get reliable, useful results.
Most of the difference between a useful AI agent and a frustrating one is prompt engineering. The model is the same; the instructions are different.
For business agents, the most important prompt engineering work is voice fidelity (sound like the human, not the platform) and tool-call discipline (never invent values that have consequences).
