Tips for Effective Communication
How to write clear prompts, be specific, provide context, and iterate on responses for the best results.
Be Specific
The single most important tip for working with your AI employee is to be specific about what you want. Instead of saying "send an email," specify who the email is for, what it should be about, and what tone to use. Instead of saying "find me some info," specify what information you need and why. The more context you provide upfront, the fewer rounds of revision you will need. Your AI employee can work with vague instructions, but specific ones produce better results faster.

Provide Context
When asking your AI employee to do something, include relevant background information. If you are drafting an email to a client, mention what you discussed last time. If you are researching a topic, explain why you need the information. Context helps the AI produce more relevant, targeted results. Your AI employee does have access to your CRM and knowledge base, but explicitly mentioning key details ensures nothing is missed.
You can say "you should already know this" if referring to information from a previous conversation or your knowledge base. The AI will search its memory before asking you for details.
Iterate on Responses
Do not expect perfection on the first try every time. Your AI employee is designed for iterative refinement. If a draft email is not quite right, tell it what to change rather than starting over. If research results are too broad, ask it to narrow the focus. Each round of feedback makes the output better. Over time, the AI also learns your preferences, so initial outputs will increasingly match your expectations without needing revisions.
Use Natural Language
Talk to your AI employee like you would talk to a human assistant. There is no need for special syntax, keywords, or structured formats. You can be conversational, use slang, or be formal — the AI adapts. You can even send voice messages if you prefer speaking over typing. The key is to communicate clearly, not formally. A message like "hey can you check if ACME paid their invoice yet" works just as well as a formal request.
Casual communication works
Natural language is perfectly fine.
Batch Related Requests
You can ask your AI employee to do multiple related things in a single message. For example, you can say "check my calendar for tomorrow, draft a prep email to the client, and look up their latest quarterly report." The AI will handle each task in sequence and present the results together. This is more efficient than sending three separate messages and works well for morning briefing-style requests where you want to get up to speed quickly.
