A Beginner's Guide to AI

Stop Prompting - Start Context Engineering


Listen Later




Most people think better AI results come from better prompts. This episode proves why that’s wrong.

Professor GePhardT introduces Context Engineering, the missing skill that transforms AI from a confused parrot into a capable collaborator. Through relatable metaphors, real business examples, and a deliciously British cake analogy, you’ll learn how shaping an AI’s environment matters more than clever wording.


You’ll discover:

  • Why prompt engineering alone fails
  • How context helps AI understand intent
  • The difference between guessing and knowing
  • A real telecom case where context fixed customer support
  • How to apply context engineering in everyday AI use
