Häufig gestellte Fragen

Is the System Prompt visible to users?
No, in principle. It's sent behind the scenes by the developer. But 'prompt injection' techniques can sometimes reveal it.
What makes a good System Prompt?
It defines tone, role, boundaries and response format. A customer support chatbot will have a very different system prompt from a coding assistant.
