AI writing tutor

As explained in AI for Everyday IT

An AI writing tutor is an instructional interaction pattern in which an AI system provides feedback and guidance to improve a learner's written composition.

An AI writing tutor is a role-based interaction pattern for helping a learner improve composition. It combines feedback, rhetorical knowledge, and practical writing techniques. section 4.4.1

Reusable tutor prompt

Act as an AI writing tutor. I will provide a student who needs help improving their writing. Give feedback on improving the composition, suggest clearer ways to express thoughts and ideas, and help outline a chapter on Prompt Engineering. Define the role, input, and expected output clearly, then adapt the prompt to the task. section 4.4.1
