What is COT (Chain-of-Thought)?

COT is the abbreviated form of Chain-of-Thought, a prompting technique that encourages AI models to show their reasoning process step-by-step before providing a final answer.

This technique is particularly useful for:

• Complex problem solving: Breaking down difficult problems
• Educational purposes: Teaching problem-solving methods
• Debugging: Identifying where reasoning goes wrong
• Transparency: Making AI reasoning visible and understandable
