## Prompting
+When building, iterating on or debugging applications using AI tools and Large Language Models (LLMs), a well-structured and extensive prompt helps provide the model with clearer guidelines & examples that can dramatically improve output.
+
We're providing an extensive example prompt that can help you build apps and AI agents using Cloudflare Workers and your preferred AI model.
+Use the click-to-copy button at the top right of the code block below to copy the full prompt to your clipboard:
