Natural Language
The everyday language humans use to communicate, like English or Spanish, as opposed to programming languages.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Natural language refers to the human languages (e.g., English, Spanish) that large language models (LLMs) are trained to understand, process, and generate, forming the primary interface for human-AI interaction and communication.
BACKGROUND
Prompt engineering is the process of structuring natural language inputs to produce specified outputs from a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) model. Context engineering is the related area of software engineering that focuses on the management of non-prompt contexts supplied to the GenAI model, such as metadata, API tools, and tokens.
