How to Become a Prompt Engineer: Building AI Interactions That Actually Work
Poor prompts produce poor results. Wrong formats, unpredictable output, inconsistent responses. If you have ever struggled to get reliable answers from a generative AI model, the problem almost certainly starts with how the prompt was written. In this practical expert session, Microsoft MVP Tine Staric takes you past trial and error and into the structured, professional approach to prompt engineering that makes the difference between AI that occasionally works and AI that is production-ready.
Drawing on real experience building AI features in Dynamics 365 Business Central, Tine covers the frameworks and techniques that actually move the needle: optimal prompt structures, temperature settings, function calling and designing prompts that hold up under scale and concurrent users.
Walk out with the skills to turn simple requests into sophisticated, reliable prompts that deliver consistent results every single time.
