A recursive prompt uses an AI system’s previous response as context for the next question. This creates a more fluid conversation and supports deeper, more relevant results without repeating every detail. section 4.5.1 section 5.1.2
Use recursive prompting to move from an initial answer toward a practical deliverable:
- Start with a focused task, then ask the next question using the previous response as the foundation. section 5.1.2
- Refine the result progressively—for example, ask which documents should support an initiative after discussing its project plan. section 5.1.2
- Keep the discussion focused and relevant; starting a new chat removes the established context. section 5.1.2
A renewable-energy follow-up
After receiving a summary of renewable energy trends, ask: “Based on the previous summary, what are the potential challenges and opportunities in the next five years?” section 4.5.1
