More about System Prompt:
A System Prompt is a predefined instruction provided to an AI model or agent at the start of a session. It sets the rules, personality, context, or goals for the conversation or workflow. System prompts are critical for guiding LLM orchestration, enforcing guardrails, and optimizing few-shot prompting.
System prompts help keep responses consistent, safe, and tailored to specific user needs or business requirements.
