# Chain-of-Thought (CoT)

A prompting and reasoning technique where AI systems articulate their step-by-step logic, improving transparency and accuracy in complex tasks.

## Business Value



Allows humans to follow the AI's logic, making it easier to debug and trust the output.

## Context Studios Perspective



Black-box AI is dangerous. By enforcing CoT, we ensure you can audit every single decision your AI agent makes.
