AssemblyAI has updated its prompt engineering guide for 2026, noting that while models have improved significantly, the fundamental principles of effective prompting remain consistent. The updated guide emphasizes clarity, conciseness, providing relevant data, and using examples to demonstrate desired output formats. It also highlights new developments such as structured output APIs for JSON and the evolution of prompt engineering towards tool use and agentic behavior, particularly in audio-to-text applications where prompting rules can invert.
