In recent years, the use of so-called AI or Artificial Intelligence has significantly expanded, especially as understanding of the power that this incredible technology possesses has increased. Not surprisingly, both professionals and simple casual web users are using it to carry out a variety of work or daily tasks. “Prompt” in artificial intelligence (AI), especially in text or image generation models, refers to the specific input a user provides to the system to obtain a desired response or output. This can be a question, a sentence, a description, or any form of textual command that tells the AI what to expect in response.
How does a prompt work?
When you write a prompt and send it to an AI model, the system analyzes the text and uses its extensive training on large datasets to generate a relevant response. AI models like ChatGPT, for example, have been trained on text from a variety of sources to understand and generate natural language in a consistent and informative way.
In this short tutorial we will show you, among other things, the use of the prompt with four applications: Runway (for generating photos or clips), Leonardo.Ai (for photos), Suno.ai (for music) and … Chat Gpt.
Entering data into the Runway prompt
Runway AI is a platform that provides tools for machine learning and creative content generation through artificial intelligence models.

We type a text (in English) in the prompt form (if you have problems with English you can use the Google translator): “at night, medieval castle on top of a bizarrely shaped mountain, surrounded by lightning. In the foreground owls and owls – at night, medieval castle on top of a bizarrely shaped mountain, surrounded by lightning. In the foreground owls and owls”
Although the owl and owls were not returned to us, we really like the image…
Naturally, the correct use of the "prompt" can be supported by a series of further options that the software makes available to you: 3D render, cinematic, digital art, cartoons etc.
How to use prompts effectively?
Clarity: Be as clear as possible in the wording of the prompt. AI works best when instructions are specific and detailed. Context: Provide sufficient context if the topic is complex or nihilistic. This helps the model better understand the request and generate a more accurate response. Precision: Use precise terms if you are looking for a detailed answer in a specific field, such as medicine or law. Creativeness: For creative image or text generation templates, clearly expressing the desired style, theme, and other elements can lead to results that are closer to expectations.
The prompt with Gemini, Chat Gpt etc…
Here is an example of effective prompt for a text generation model:
“Explains Einstein's concept of general relativity in simple, clear terms for a high school student.”
gemini
In this case, the "prompt" is clear, direct and provides information on the target audience (high school student), allowing the AI to calibrate the level of complexity of the response. By using prompts effectively, you can maximize the quality and relevance of AI-generated responses.
SUNO.AI
Suno AI is an innovative artificial intelligence-based music creation program that allows users to generate realistic songs by combining vocals and instrumentation. Officially launched on December 20, 2023, Suno quickly became popular for its ability to create quality music from short text prompts. It is available both as a standalone web application and as a plugin in Microsoft Copilot. The heart of Suno AI are its AI, Bark and Chirp models. Bark focuses on generating vocal parts while Chirp specializes in creating non-vocal musical elements. These models work together to transform users' text prompts into complete musical compositions. Suno is also committed to protecting user privacy and ensuring data security through a robust privacy policy. Recently, Suno introduced its v3 version, which significantly improves the audio quality and expands the range of available music styles and genres. This version allows users to create full two-minute songs, accessible via a free account. Additionally, Suno is committed to continuous development and research into new features, with v4 already in the works. For more information on how to use Suno AI and create music, you can visit their official website , here(Suno).
By selecting Custom Mode it will be possible to insert the lyrics of the song that we will try to create. Although the application allows you to generate the text automatically (in English), we can use another app to generate the text: https://www.freshbots.org/generatore-di-testi.
Steps of Friendship
In the light of the dancing lights,
Together on the stage of life,
With light and synchronized steps,
Let's dance our infinite friendship.
Heart to heart, hand in hand,
We laugh and cry together,
We cross the notes of the melody,
A friendship that has no time or end.
Every step, every movement,
Tell our story with affection,
Let's dance with an open heart,
In a vortex of love and respect.
.
We copy and insert the generated text into Suno.ai
We select the style (deep house strong bass violin male voice dance) and have the application generate the song. Here is the result
The song can be continued, remixed and many other beautiful things…

Can the prompt be generated by a specific app? The prompt generated by a prompt…
In any case, AI is nothing more than a machine that obeys and follows precise instructions, called prompts, to the letter. for which it is necessary to make use of a professional figure, called a prompt engineer, who is responsible for writing these commands for an AI model capable of satisfying anyone's needs. However, more and more evidence is emerging that prompts generated by other AI would be more effective than commands written by humans: why?
Why put another AI behind an AI's prompts
One of the key elements for the use of AI is the concept of context, i.e. the maximum length of the prompt to be given to the artificial intelligence so that it responds to a particular user's request.
In fact, the very first AI models had very small contexts, command lines that were completely manageable by a human. The technological advancement of such software, however, is implying an increasingly large amount of time to invest in giving commands to the AI, a resource that is often missing in a society that is more frenetic than ever. This is why letting another AI generate a prompt for a generative AI model turns out to be the key, since in the command lines the AI adds details that do not always occur to a simple human being, obtaining thus an even more effective result aligned with the user's requests. Therefore, some systems and browsers have begun to integrate interfaces capable of generating prompts containing details such as the destination, length and tone of the communication to be used.
Furthermore, since the AI model used to generate a prompt for another AI is not human, it does not require too many language construction elements to obtain an optimal result. Simplifying the prompt, therefore, allows us to increase the information to be indicated to the AI with the aim of obtaining increasingly precise and focused answers.
In this regard, the giant Microsoft recently announced the project to create software capable of generating compressed prompts for AI models: which one?
LMLingua, a software for AI
The Microsoft Research team is developing LLMingua, a system based on an LLM model capable of processing an incoming command and generating a prompt that is 3 to 6 times more compact, i.e. having a limited context size and a shorter processing time.
However, in addition to LMLingua there is also NeuroPrompts, a further software trained for the synthesis of prompts increasingly similar to those that would be command lines written by a human being, in order to simulate the work that a prompt engineer would carry out.
Without a doubt, the use of these tools will allow an even more effective use of AI models, especially if used for business purposes.
In short, although prompt engineering seemed like it could become an established profession, the constant development of AI models capable of capturing the essence of a request from a user transforming it into a prompt capable of improving the response generation process by the user Artificial intelligence is making it possible to reduce costs and optimize timescales.
Therefore, the future is inevitably marked by the use of AI behind AI, powerful allies capable of making a technology that is already radically changing society even more effective!
