Context
The background information you give the AI so it does not have to guess — who you are, what you already tried, what you need it for.
In practice
"My science fair is Friday and I have only finished the poster."
Where students meet it
Context is taught in Lesson 2, Your Words Are the Superpower, part of the Prompting unit of the AI Explorers course for kids. Kai is the guide for that lesson, and it is one of 12 terms in the unit.
Often mixed up with
- Realness (3rd R)
The voice you want the answer in — playful, formal, technical, casual. A setting you choose, not one the AI should have to guess.
