The Power of the Prompt: Prompt Crafting Tools for Interacting with Generative AI Models

This IDC Market Perspective examines the current landscape of prompt crafting tools, which are designed to assist in the creation of the prompts that generate output from large language models (LLMs). When interacting with a pretrained LLM, the prompt is the primary way for the user to influence the LLM's output. This document provides an overview of prompt crafting and the features in the first tools available to support the prompt crafting process."The ability to craft prompts quickly and efficiently represents a new technological skill that will help organizations avoid the cost of trial-and-error attempts to craft the right prompt," said Michele Rosen, research manager, Low-Code, No-Code, and Intelligent Developer Technologies at IDC. "Providing a user experience that can guide nontechnical employees through the process of crafting prompts will be a differentiator for software vendors looking to add generative AI capabilities to their development tools."
