The ability to craft precise and effective prompts is crucial for maximizing the utility of generative AI models such as ChatGPT. This webinar introduces the CLEAR framework—a structured approach to prompting that enhances interactions with AI systems. Designed for librarians, educators, and information professionals, the session will provide actionable strategies to craft precise prompts, improving AI-generated outputs. Participants will learn to apply the CLEAR framework to improve their ability to teach, support patrons, and integrate AI technologies into their workflows. Through theoretical explanations and hands-on examples, attendees will gain the confidence and skills necessary to harness AI's potential in their professional settings.
