Few-Shot Learning
A prompting technique where you give the AI two or three examples of what you want before asking it to do the task.
In Plain English
Few-shot learning is like showing a contractor a few photos of kitchens you like before they remodel yours. By providing a couple of examples in your prompt, you instantly teach the AI the exact format, tone, or logic you expect. It is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to improve the quality of an AI's output.
Real-World Example
Giving an AI two examples of how you like your emails summarized before pasting in a new email.
