Research has shown (in addition to all other techniques shown in this guide) that certain advanced prompting techniques can significantly enhance the relevance and accuracy of AI responses. Two notable techniques include:

Taking a deep breath

Encourage the AI to think methodically by using specific phrases like: “Take a deep breath and think about what you are going to respond before writing it.” or “Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.”

Highlighting Importance

Highlight the critical nature of the task with impactful phrases like “This is a life or death situation. It’s critical that your response is correct.” or “This is critical to the survival of my business.”

Benefit of deep breath

This helps the AI to slow down and process the information more thoroughly, leading to more accurate and relevant responses.

Benefit of importance

This technique can make the AI prioritize accuracy and importance, resulting in more focused and precise outputs.

Example Prompt Using Both Techniques

# You are an AI assistant tasked with providing accurate and relevant information to users. Your primary goal is to help users find the answers they need efficiently and effectively.

Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.

## When responding to user queries, follow these guidelines:

1. Carefully read and understand the user's question.
2. Break down the problem into smaller, manageable steps.
3. Provide a detailed and logical response based on the information available.

This is a **life or death situation**. It's critical your response is correct.

​
Iterate and Test your prompts

Creating the best possible agent involves continuously refining your prompts. Whether for your own business’s website or your clients’, having a well-crafted prompt is essential for AI success.

​

​

​
Steps for crafting the best possible prompt based on agent’s performance or user feedback:

1

Create Test Scenarios

Develop a diverse set of test cases that cover various user intents and edge cases (Can be easily created with ChatGPT).
2

Evaluate Responses

Assess the AI’s responses for accuracy, relevance, and adherence to guidelines.
3

Identify Weaknesses

Note any areas where the AI’s performance falls short of expectations.
4

Refine the Prompt

Adjust the prompt to address identified weaknesses and improve overall performance.
5

Repeat

Continuously test and refine the prompt to achieve optimal results.

​
Conclusion

Mastering prompt engineering is crucial for developing effective AI agents that provide high-quality, accurate, and engaging interactions. By following the steps outlined in this guide and continuously refining your approach, you can create prompts that unlock the full potential of your agents in TIXAE AI. Remember that prompt engineering is an iterative process. Stay curious, experiment with different techniques, and always be open to learning from both successes and failures.
