Zero-shot prompting
Zero-shot prompting is asking an AI model to do a task with instructions only, without showing it any examples first.
What it means in practice
It is the quickest way to start and works well for common tasks. If the answer has the wrong style or format, add examples instead.
Example
"Summarise this email in two sentences."
