Iterative Prompting: Refining AI Responses Step by Step
AI responses often miss the mark on the first pass; iterative prompting means building on what you got, clarifying what didn't land, and pushing the system to go deeper rather than accepting the initial answer. This technique turns one-shot conversations into genuine collaboration.
