Prompt Chaining
Prompt chaining breaks a task into multiple sequential prompts, where each step's output feeds the next, instead of one giant prompt.
Analogy
Like an assembly line where each station does one job and passes the part along.
Why it matters
Chaining smaller prompts across automation steps makes complex AI workflows more reliable, debuggable, and easier to maintain.
In practice
First prompt summarizes a call transcript; a second prompt drafts a follow-up email from that summary.
