Good practical walkthrough of prompt patterns that actually hold up when you apply them to real tasks. I liked how each technique came with a before-and-after example showing why the tweak mattered. The pacing dragged a little in the middle section on system prompts, but overall it delivered on what it promised.

प्रॉम्प्ट लिखना अब बहुत आसान लगता है।

เรียนแล้วเข้าใจมากขึ้นว่าทำไมพรอมต์บางแบบถึงได้คำตอบที่ไม่สม่ำเสมอ คอร์สอธิบายหลักการง่ายๆ แต่ใช้ได้จริงในงานประจำวัน ส่วนที่พูดถึงการควบคุมโทนของคำตอบอาจจะกระชับไปนิดสำหรับมือใหม่

Wreszcie rozumiem, dlaczego moje wcześniejsze polecenia dla modelu dawały takie chaotyczne odpowiedzi. Technika rozbijania zadania na kroki i podawania przykładów odmieniła moją codzienną pracę z tekstami. Konkretne ćwiczenia, zero lania wody.

Straightforward course that actually improved how consistent my prompt outputs are, especially the section on few-shot examples.

यह कोर्स प्रॉम्प्ट लिखने के बेसिक्स को बहुत अच्छे से समझाता है, खासकर फ्यू-शॉट एग्जांपल्स वाला हिस्सा काफी काम का लगा। थोड़ा और एडवांस कंटेंट होता तो और अच्छा रहता, लेकिन शुरुआत के लिए बढ़िया कोर्स है।

Antes mis prompts daban respuestas distintas cada vez y me frustraba. Aquí aprendí a estructurarlos con contexto y ejemplos, y ahora obtengo resultados mucho más consistentes del modelo. Me hubiera gustado un poco más sobre prompts para programación, pero lo recomiendo sin dudar.

คอร์สนี้สอนเทคนิคการเขียนพรอมต์ได้ค่อนข้างชัดเจนและนำไปใช้ได้จริง ชอบตัวอย่างที่เปรียบเทียบพรอมต์แบบธรรมดากับแบบที่ปรับแล้วให้เห็นผลต่างชัดๆ อยากให้มีตัวอย่างเกี่ยวกับงานภาษาไทยมากกว่านี้อีกนิดก็จะดีมาก

Курс отлично объясняет, как формулировать промпты, чтобы получать стабильный результат, а не рандом каждый раз. Понравилось, что каждая техника сразу показана на примере до и после. Начал применять это в работе с текстами и сразу заметил разницу в качестве ответов.

Sehr klar strukturierter Kurs, der mir endlich gezeigt hat, warum manche Prompts einfach zuverlässiger funktionieren als andere.

Cours bien construit qui explique clairement pourquoi certains prompts donnent des résultats plus fiables que d'autres. J'ai particulièrement aimé les exemples avant/après, très concrets. Un peu plus d'exercices pratiques auraient été bienvenus.

প্রম্পট লেখার নিয়মগুলো শেখার পর এখন প্রতিবার ভালো আউটপুট পাচ্ছি, দারুণ কাজের কোর্স।

J'ai suivi ce cours pour améliorer la qualité de mes prompts au travail, où j'utilise des LLM presque quotidiennement pour rédiger et analyser du contenu. Les techniques présentées sont simples à comprendre mais vraiment efficaces une fois appliquées, notamment la structuration en étapes et les exemples few-shot. J'ai remarqué une nette différence dans la cohérence des réponses que j'obtiens depuis que j'ai changé ma façon de formuler mes demandes. Le seul point faible à mes yeux est que certains chapitres se répètent un peu d'une leçon à l'autre. Cela dit, ça reste un cours que je referais sans hésiter si je devais me remettre à niveau.
