Prompt it RIGHT
The prompting framework we hand to every participant, and the four levels of prompt sophistication to move through once it is second nature.
RIGHT
- RRole
Tell the AI what role it should play: an expert in a domain, a customer persona, a specific personality type.
- IInformation
Include all the relevant details the AI needs to know: what product you are working on, what your strategy is, who your audience is.
- GGoal
Be clear about what you want created and why: a story for a sales pitch, a list of interview questions, code for a web page, an image for a post.
- HHow
Explain the format you want and the process you want it to follow: which language, how long, what style, what steps to work through.
- TTweak
Use the tool-specific controls available to you: custom instructions, project context, temperature, aspect ratio and style parameters.
From zero to few shots
| Level | What you provide | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Zero shot | Instructions only, no examples | The task is common and the output format is obvious |
| One shot | One indicative example or template | You have a house format the output must match |
| Few shots | Several examples covering the range | Quality depends on judgment the model has to infer |
| Chain of thought | Guidance on how to reason through the problem | The task has steps where an early error propagates |
Choosing the tool inside the tool
Enterprise AI suites now contain several distinct capabilities, and most people treat them as one. The question that resolves it:
| Capability | Ask yourself |
|---|---|
| Custom assistants | Do you need the same process applied to different content? |
| Projects and workspaces | Do you need different tasks against the same context? |
| Deep research | Do you need thorough external research from multiple sources? |
| Organizational knowledge | Do you need our internal documents and templates? |
| Canvas and document modes | Do you need to create or refine a document iteratively? |
| Vision | Do you need to analyze or extract from visual content? |
| Voice | Would talking this through be more effective than typing? |
