prompts
Triggers a response
Prompts are cues or signals that encourage action or speech.
A theater prompt helps actors remember forgotten lines; a computer prompt indicates the system is ready for input.
In the context of AI, a prompt is the text or instruction a user provides to generate a response: The quality of the output depends largely on how you write your prompts.
To prompt someone is to urge them toward action or supply them with words they've forgotten.
