Breaking complex tasks into sequential steps where each output feeds the next lets you solve problems no single prompt could handle. This turns AI into a tool for extended thinking rather than just immediate answers.
HypatiaWhy It Matters
Prompt chaining is a technique where the output of one AI prompt becomes the input for the next, creating a sequence of connected steps that tackle complex, multi-stage tasks.
Instead of asking AI to do everything at once and getting mediocre results, chaining lets you break big goals into manageable pieces, giving you more control, better quality, and outputs that build intelligently on each previous step.
