Foundations of Good Prompting

When you get the basics right, it becomes much easier to get the results you want from Omnifact.

The Golden Rule: Be Specific and Complete

Be specific and use complete sentences. Think of each prompt as giving directions to a capable colleague who doesn’t know your context. Since Omnifact doesn’t retain memory between conversations, include all necessary information in each prompt.

What Makes a Good Prompt

Every effective prompt should include these three elements:

What you want

The specific task or question you need help with

Context you have

Relevant background information

What you expect

Format, length, or style requirements
A good prompt combines:
[TASK] + [CONTEXT] + [EXPECTATIONS] = Good Results
Example:
  • Task: “Analyze this customer feedback”
  • Context: “from our Q4 survey about our mobile app”
  • Expectations: “and identify the top 3 improvement priorities”
  • Complete Prompt: “Analyze this customer feedback from our Q4 survey about our mobile app and identify the top 3 improvement priorities.”

See the Difference

The more specific and descriptive you are, the better results you’ll get.
Vague: “Marketing ideas”
Specific: “Generate 5 social media post ideas for a B2B software company launching a new project management tool, targeting small business owners”

Common Problems and Quick Fixes

Solution: Add specific details and constraints
  • Include your exact context (role, company size, industry)
  • Specify format and length requirements
  • Be clear about what to include or exclude
Solution: Check if you’re assuming context
  • Have you included all necessary background?
  • Would this make sense to someone new to your situation?
  • Add the missing context directly in your prompt
Solution: Be explicit about expectations
  • “Format as [bullet points/table/email/report]”
  • “Use [professional/casual/technical] tone”
  • “Length should be [specific word count/number of items]”
Read your prompt out loud. If you have to add “you know what I mean” at the end, it needs to be more specific!
