新しいAI機能のプロンプト設計について、海外チームのプロンプトエンジニアにアドバイスをもらう場面

Summary (JP)

あなたは新機能に使うプロンプトの出力が安定しないことに悩み、チームのプロンプトエンジニアであるLiisに相談します。Liisは出力のばらつきの原因を一緒に考え、指示を分割することや例を加えることを提案します。二人は簡単なテストを一緒に組み立て、翌日結果を共有する約束をして会話を終えます。

会話

You:

Hey Liis, do you have a few minutes? I'm stuck on something.

Liis Tamm:

Sure, what's up?

You:

The new summary feature gives inconsistent results. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's way off.

Liis Tamm:

Okay, let's try to narrow down the cause. Can you show me the current prompt?

You:

Here it is. It's one long paragraph with all the instructions.

Liis Tamm:

I see the problem. It's too much for the model to follow.

You:

So what should I do?

Liis Tamm:

Let's break it down into smaller steps. One instruction per line usually works better.

You:

That makes sense. Should I add examples too?

Liis Tamm:

Yes, definitely. A few-shot example will guide the tone.

You:

Good idea. Let me tighten up the wording first.

Liis Tamm:

Sounds good. Also, think about a few edge cases, like very short input.

You:

Right, I hadn't tested that yet.

Liis Tamm:

Let's run a quick sanity check together with three sample inputs.

You:

Okay, I'll prepare those samples now.

Liis Tamm:

Great, send them over when you're ready.

You:

Will do. Can we compare results tomorrow morning?

Liis Tamm:

Perfect, let's share our test results then.

You:

Thanks so much, Liis. This really helps.

Liis Tamm:

No problem at all. Good luck with it!
