Production-Ready AI: Engineering Reliable Prompts for Software Development Teams

Presenter: Dr. Otto Dobretsberger

When: Wednesday, January 14, 2026 12:00pm Central Time (CT)

Duration: 75 minutes (approximately)

In this CODE Presents webinar, Otto will move beyond basic prompting advice to demonstrate advanced techniques that drive reliable AI performance. Through demonstrations and proven methodologies, we'll explore optimal prompt formats (XML vs. JSON vs. plain text), strategic prompt architecture, and system-level instructions that configure AI models. Learn how to activate sophisticated AI capabilities including automated web research, data processing, tool integration, and multi-step reasoning workflows.

We'll cover role-based prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, precise output formatting, and format-specific optimization techniques for consistent, professional results.

Whether you're developing content, solving complex problems, or automating multi-step workflows, you'll master techniques like chaining web searches into reasoning processes that output structured JSON responses. Walk away with a comprehensive framework to achieve predictable, high-quality outcomes from any AI platform—turning AI from an unpredictable tool into a reliable development asset.
