Socratic Prompting

Fact

A prompting method that guides AI with a series of questions.

In Plain Words

It is like a driving coach in the passenger seat. They keep asking, "What do you see next?" No one grabs the wheel.

It helps with learning and hard problems. It can reveal weak steps. Still, more questions do not guarantee a right answer.
