One-shot Prompting

Fact

A prompt with one example that shows the AI how to do a task.

In Plain Words

It is like showing a new cashier one receipt. The next receipt looks less like a wild guess.

One example shows the format and tone. You may use it for sorting, pulling out facts, or rewriting text.
