## ## Specifics
List out the **most important notes regarding the execution of the task** outlined above.
Use list format to **easily add on new instructions as you test** and improve prompt. Don’t add fluff just to add here; less is more.
- Each message should have an intro, body, and outro, with a tone that’s informal and engaging.
- Use placeholders like {user.firstname} to personalize introductions
- Etc.
Adding in emotional appeals to the LLM will help it to be more accurate.
“***This is very important to my career”*** was most effective on simple tasks
“***This task is vital to my career, and I greatly value your thorough analysis”*** performed best on complex tasks (ones the require higher level reasoning and problem-solving abilities).
## ## Context
Our company provides AI-powered solutions to businesses across various industries. We receive a high volume of emails from potential clients through our website’s contact form. Your **role** in classifying these emails is **essential** for our sales team to prioritize their efforts and respond to inquiries in a timely manner. By **accurately** identifying opportunities and emails that need attention, you directly contribute to the **growth and success of our company**, therefore we **greatly value your careful consideration** and attention to classification.
- *Provide context **on the business** including customers, types of services or products, company values etc.*
- *Provide context **on the system it is part of,** eg when customers submits our website form we receive an email, you are then…*
- *Provide context **on the importance of the task** and impact on the business and/or society as a whole.*
# # Examples
Use **Few-Shot Prompting** to increase performance and **fine tune response tone, format and length.**
Use a number of **input-output examples** to provide to the LLM as part of the prompt. Allows the model to **perform new tasks without fine-tuning.**
**Key Takeaways:**
- Providing just a few examples **significantly** improves performance compared to zero-shot )no examples).
- Accuracy **scales** with the number of examples, but shows **diminishing returns** after 32 examples.
- Most gains are achieved within **10-32 well-crafted examples.**
###
# # Notes
- Output formatting notes e.g. *“your output should be in x format”*
- Negative prompting “*no NOT do x”*
- Tone tweaks
- Reminders of key points from the task of specifics
You can add things without refactoring the whole prompt.
