Every agent begins with a prompt, but reliability at scale demands far more than creative wording. This volume treats prompt design as system engineering, drawing on lessons from over two million agent deployments powered by ElevenLabs.
Inside, you will learn:
- A 12-point framework for structuring system prompts, from clean sections to one action per line
- How to normalize spoken and written inputs so agents handle emails, IDs and record locators accurately
- Describing tools precisely so models call them correctly and recover from failures
- When to keep agents specialized and hand off to multi-agent workflows
Written for product, CX and engineering leaders moving conversational agents from prototype to production.
