💡 Prompting Technique: Persona Prompting

Throughout this workshop, you'll notice each module's prompts start with a role assignment like "You are a Senior Accounts Payable Analyst...". This is called persona prompting — one of the most effective techniques for getting higher-quality results from AI. By telling the AI what role to play, it adjusts its vocabulary, reasoning, and level of detail to match that expertise. You'll see the difference in the quality of the output.
