๐๏ธ What is a Prompt?
You know when you're working in Revit and you need to explain to a new intern how to perform a certain task? You don't just say "get it done," right? You give specific instructions: "Use the wall tool, select this structural type here, draw it at a height of 3 meters...". That's how it works with artificial intelligence, too.
๐๏ธ Basic Prompting Techniques
Imagine you're explaining to a new intern how to create a section view in Revit. You don't just say, "create a section view"โthat would be like giving a vague instruction that would likely result in frustration. Instead, you guide them: "First, go to the Architecture tab, then click on Section, position the line where you want the cut, and adjust the view depth." This process of giving clear, structured instructions is exactly what we do when we work with artificial intelligence through prompting.
๐๏ธ Beyond English Prompts
Have you ever stopped to think how frustrating it would be if every time you wanted to use Revit, you had to think in English? That's exactly what happens with many AI tools today. The vast majority were trained primarily with English texts, creating an invisible but very real barrier for those who think and work in Portuguese. It's as if you had a super competent assistant, but one that only understands instructions in a foreign language.

๐๏ธ Security and Challenges
You know when you're working on a project in Revit and suddenly realize that someone has messed with your default settings? That feeling of "wait, this isn't how I left it" is exactly what can happen when AI tools are manipulated in ways we don't expect. Just as you need to protect your project files from unwanted changes, AI tools also need protection against malicious or inappropriate use.
