Prompt Chaining: Linking AI Tasks Into Workflows

Linking AI tasks sequentially creates a pipeline where output becomes input, solving problems that require multiple rounds of processing. This is the scaffolding for automating complex work.

Why It Matters

Prompt chaining is the practice of breaking a complex goal into a sequence of smaller AI prompts where the output of one step becomes the input for the next, creating a structured pipeline of AI-assisted reasoning or production.

This technique dramatically improves output quality for multi-step tasks like research, writing, and analysis by preventing AI from trying to do too much in a single response, which often leads to shallow or incomplete results.
