Most people start prompt engineering when GenAI doesn’t behave.
- Tweaking wording.
- Changing tone.
- Trying “act as if” for the 10th time.
Sometimes it works.
But more often?
You’re fixing the wrong thing.
The real secret:
🧠 Feed it more context.
We ran a project where GenAI had to classify customer service calls.
Early results were meh.
Accuracy was inconsistent.
Until we changed one thing:
We started injecting customer context into the prompt:
✅ Products they use
✅ Previous support calls
✅ Interaction history
Boom 💥
Our success rate more than doubled.
Lesson:
LLMs are not mind readers.
They’re pattern matchers.
Give them richer context, and they give you better answers.
