Stop Fighting Your AI: Engineering Prompts That Actually Work

DevNexus 2026

Stop treating prompts like magic. This hands-on session teaches engineering principles for reliable AI outputs: using AI to debug prompts, building constraint systems that prevent garbage results, and creating scalable prompt architectures. Perfect for developers tired of inconsistent AI responses.

GenAI Prompt Engineering
Stop Fighting Your AI: Engineering Prompts That Actually Work

Talk Overview:

This practical workshop transforms prompt engineering from guesswork into a systematic discipline. You’ll learn the architectural patterns, debugging strategies, and constraint systems that produce reliable, production-quality AI outputs every time.

Key Topics Covered:

The anatomy of production prompts (system messages, context, constraints, delimiters) Core techniques: clarity, Chain-of-Thought, format constraints, and compression Advanced patterns: Tree of Thought, Self-Consistency, ReAct, and meta-prompts Layering techniques for production-ready systems Security and jailbreak resistance strategies Prompt testing, versioning, and iteration workflows

What You’ll Master:

Why vague prompts fail and the structural patterns that succeed Reverse-engineering successful prompts using AI feedback loops Constraint engineering that eliminates 90% of useless outputs Strategic technique combinations for speed, insight, or scale Defensive scaffolding against prompt injection attacks

Who Should Attend:

Developers integrating AI into workflows, technical writers automating documentation, and anyone building systems that require consistent, reliable AI outputs. Level: Intermediate - assumes basic familiarity with LLMs and API integration
