Prompting

User Prompt

Quick Answer

Text input from the user within a conversation, as opposed to system context.

User prompts are messages from users in a conversation. They're distinguished from system prompts (setup/instructions). Multiple user prompts can appear in a conversation. User prompts drive model responses. Clear user prompts get better answers. User prompt quality matters. Chat interfaces show user prompts separately from system context.
