Definition
A prompt is the natural-language input given to an AI model to elicit a specific output. Prompts can be simple ('write an email to X') or complex (multi-step, role-based, few-shot).
GlossaryContent draft
Prompt
A prompt is the instruction you give to a language model. In open-ended AI writing, the prompt is where you spend most of your effort. In voice-to-writing, prompts stay small and fixed.

Why it matters
In open AI writing tools, prompt quality is nearly everything. In voice-to-writing, most prompt work is hidden inside the product — you don't write a prompt; you speak your content.
How this relates to Zahvox
Zahvox is not a prompt-driven product. When AI cleanup and modes ship, the prompts are internal, fixed, and scoped so your voice stays yours. You aren't asked to be a prompt engineer.
Status: General industry concept, not tied to a specific Zahvox release.
Example
ChatGPT: you type "Write me a friendly follow-up email in 3 sentences to a client named Alex about a delayed proposal." Zahvox: you speak the reply and click Clean.
