Zero-Shot Prompting
Asking the AI to do a task with no examples, just instructions.
What is Zero-Shot Prompting?
Zero-shot prompting means giving an LLM a task description without any examples. Modern LLMs are remarkably capable at zero-shot, especially with clear instructions. Use it as the default; only switch to few-shot when zero-shot is unreliable for your specific output format.
