How to Ask Questions
The best way to get helpful answers is to ask clear, specific questions. Here’s how:Be Specific
Good Question
“How do I complete the customer onboarding process for new enterprise clients?”
Vague Question
“How does onboarding work?”
Providing Context (Two Ways)
To get the most relevant answers, you should provide context. You can do this by typing it or by using the dedicated[Context] tab.
- Type Your Context
- Use the [Context] Tab
If the AI needs more information, it will ask. But you can save time by including relevant details upfront:
Following Up
One of the best features of the AI is that it remembers your conversation. You can ask follow-up questions naturally:1
Ask your first question
“What are the steps in our hiring process?”
2
Follow up naturally
“Who needs to approve the offer letter?”
3
Keep going
“How long does approval usually take?”
Sometimes the AI/Agent can momentarily lose its connection to the provider. If it appears to hang or stop responding, try a quick nudge like “Are you there?” or “Please continue” to verify it’s still running.
Example Conversations
Here are some examples of effective conversations:Finding Process Information

Real Prompt Examples
These samples show how to talk to the assistant when you want it to run multi-step actions. Feel free to mimic the structure—wrapping entity names in double quotes is optional but makes long requests easier to read, especially when you include RACI roles. Navigate to the “Brand Strategy” process page, open the AI chat, and say:Tips for Better Responses
Ask One Thing at a Time
Break complex questions into smaller parts. This helps the AI give you clearer, more focused answers.
Use Complete Sentences
While the AI can understand fragments, complete sentences help ensure you get exactly what you need.
Be Patient
Give the AI a moment to process and respond. Complex questions may take a few seconds.
Correct Misunderstandings
If the AI misunderstands, just clarify. “No, I meant…” works perfectly.
Starting New Topics
When you want to change subjects completely, you have two options:- Keep the same session: Just start asking about the new topic. The AI will understand the subject has changed.
-
Start a new session: Click the
+(New Chat) icon or open the History (clock) icon and select ”+ Start New Session”. This gives you a fresh start.
When to Rephrase
If the AI’s response isn’t quite what you needed, try:- Adding more detail to your question
- Asking the question in a different way
- Breaking your question into smaller parts
- Providing an example of what you mean
