Through relatable metaphors, real business examples, and a deliciously British cake analogy, you’ll learn how shaping an AI’s environment matters more than clever wording.

You’ll discover:

Why prompt engineering alone fails
How context helps AI understand intent
The difference between guessing and knowing
A real telecom case where context fixed customer support
How to apply context engineering in everyday AI use
