Introduction
Learn how to prompt AI effectively inside Capacity and build better apps, faster.
Prompting isn’t just about asking — it’s about guiding the AI toward exactly what you want. Whether you're building features, debugging issues, or designing UI, great prompts produce great results.
This section will teach you how to think and communicate like an AI whisperer. You'll learn the fundamentals, structuring techniques, advanced methods, and get ready-to-use prompt templates you can drop straight into Capacity.
Why Prompting Matters
Capacity is powered by large language models (LLMs), which means the quality of your results depends on the quality of your instructions. Clear, structured prompts can:
- Reduce AI errors and hallucinations
- Save time with fewer iterations
- Produce code that fits your tech stack
- Unlock advanced features with less effort
