Building iterative refinement loops
Iterative refinement loops create a systematic approach to improving AI outputs. Instead of random changes, you follow a structured process. Each loop brings you closer to the ideal result. This method turns good outputs into excellent ones consistently. The basic loop follows 4 steps:
- Analyze: Analyze the current output. What works and what needs improvement?
- Identify: Decide on the changes to request.
- Prompt: Write clear targeted instructions for the changes.
- Evaluate: Assess if changes improved the output.
Repeat until satisfied. Most outputs need 3 to 5 loops for optimization.
Pro Tip: Focus on one type of improvement per loop to maintain clarity and track what works.
