In this article, you will learn the best practices for prompting.
There a so many things you can do when it comes to generative AI! The Analysis feature is here to help you dive into your searches and come up with the highlights you need. Read until the end to go to examples and best practices for prompting ⬇️
1. Suggested prompts
The suggested prompts are a quick and easy way to produce analyses with the platform.
They are completely dependent on the Smart Insights. This means that whatever Smart Insight you select, there will be the matching suggested prompt under your text box.
Once selected, the prompt will automatically update with a sentence generated by our team that matches the requirement of the selected insight. The prompt will also dynamically update with the country filters or sectors you select.
2. Free prompting
Free prompting is the door to more precise and in-depth analyses.
You can base your free prompts on the suggested ones, but remember - in order to do free prompting, don't select any of the selected prompts under the text box!
There are some basic rules when doing free prompting to get the best results:
- The richer the question, the richer the answer.
You won't get anything interesting by prompting Give me the highlights to the platform. It needs to understand what you need in order to deliver an efficient analysis. Don't hesitate to mention the keywords, industry, key aspects you want the platform to cover, and what you need in your answer.
Here are some examples that will help you enrich your questions:
- Within the given context, give me the main players that have been operating in the aerospace industry for the past quarter. Give descriptions of their activity, highlight key events, and give descriptions when possible.
- What are the key takeaways for the packaging industry for these past 2 weeks? Give any highlights from a market and macroeconomic standpoint, and mention players involved when possible. Answer as a list.
- Optimizing through Advanced Options
One of the key aspects to understand with Generative AI, is that when asking through the suggested prompts, the platform knows where to go. It aims for the sentences and paragraphs that have a concept attached to them.
Free prompting is a more complex way of finding information, and helping the platform gather data through a higher number of articles analysed will optimize your analysis result.
