TheGenerated Knowledgetechnique is a two-step optimization process. In the first step, the user asks the AI to generate a set of relevant facts, rules, or background information about a topic. In the second step, this newly "generated knowledge" is incorporated into a follow-up prompt to improve the accuracy of the final answer. This is particularly useful when the AI needs to perform a task that requires specific domain expertise that might not be immediately "top-of-mind" for the model.

For example, if you want the AI to write a medical summary, you might first ask it to "List the current guidelines for treating hypertension" (Generated Knowledge). Then, you use that list in a second prompt: "Based on these guidelines, evaluate this patient's case." This technique prevents the AI from relying purely on its general training data and instead forces it to use a "grounded" set of facts as a reference point. It is a powerful way to reduce hallucinations because the model is essentially building its own "contextual library" before attempting the main task. This sequential approach ensures that the final output is backed by explicit logic rather than just probabilistic word prediction.
