Prompt

As explained in Build Applications with Local AI Models on a Mac

An input instruction or request submitted to an AI model for processing.

A prompt is the input you give an AI model. It can be a question, an instruction, a voice transcript, or a block of text. Python can send prompts to a local model through the Ollama API and receive its responses. section 1.4
