The responses from Large Language Models (LLMs) are more accurate, consistent, and explainable when you provide specific relevant information, or context, to support your prompts. Context engineering is the discipline of selecting, organizing, updating, compressing, prioritizing the precise context a model needs to generate accurate responses. This book shows you how to combine well-designed prompts with smart search, content filtering, and advanced RAG techniques incorporating many types of stored data to create reliable responses in your AI applications.
