Prompt writing tips

Write clear, specific instructions. The more context you provide about your product and users, the more accurate the analysis will be.
  • Be specific about your domain — mention your product name, industry terminology, and common user scenarios
  • Define what matters — if certain topics are more important for your business, call them out explicitly
  • Include examples — provide sample messages and the expected classification to guide the AI
  • Test incrementally — make small changes and review the results before making major rewrites
  • Keep it concise — overly long prompts can confuse the model rather than helping it
Poorly written prompts can degrade analysis quality. Test changes against a sample of conversations before relying on modified prompts in production. If results become unreliable, revert to the system default.
