💡 What is a prompt?

A prompt is an instruction or question entered by a user in an interactive system, such as a dialogue with AI or a command-line interface. Clear and specific prompts are necessary for AI to generate appropriate responses or results to user requests or queries.

How to write better prompts?

  • Human thought, cognition, and judgment are indispensable.
  • For important content and details, please manually review and confirm.
  • Clearly define what you want to get from the meeting minutes.
  • Explain necessary information in clear and concise language.
  • Seek diverse responses rather than limited answers.

 

Specific Examples: 

  • Tell me about the three main themes discussed in today's meeting.
  • Describe the solutions and proposals for the three issues raised in the meeting.
  • Share topics that were not discussed in today's meeting but you consider very important.
  • Summarize the discussed solutions and action plans.
  • Evaluate the main risks in the current project and propose countermeasures for them.

🧷 FAQs

How many custom templates can I create?
  • Free Plan: Cannot create custom templates.
  • Pro Plan: Up to 5 can be created. When the limit is hit, you can make new templates by removing any you no longer need.
  • Business Plan: There is no limit to the number of templates you can create.
  • Enterprise Plan: There is no limit to the number of templates you can create.
Why am I unable to create templates in the "Workspace" tab?

The Pro Plan is for individual use, so the sharing function between members is not available. Therefore, you cannot create custom templates in the "Workspace" tab with the Pro Plan.
