Prompt Engineering: How to Generate Good and Functional Code with the BioImage.IO Chatbot

Date:

In October 2024, I gave a talk titled “Prompt Engineering: How to Generate Good and Functional Code with the BioImage.IO Chatbot” at the YMIA Python Event, an initiative to support early-career imaging scientists.

This session introduced attendees to prompt engineering techniques for generative AI tools, focusing on how to use the BioImage.IO Chatbot to:

  • 🧠 Write clear and effective prompts
  • 🧪 Generate functional Python code for bioimage analysis tasks
  • 🔄 Iterate and debug collaboratively with the chatbot
  • ⚙️ Integrate AI-driven coding into research workflows

The session was co-led with Dr. Claudia Salat Canela, active contributor in the image.sc community.
