This guide teaches you how to write better prompts for Omnifact’s AI assistant — no technical background or coding required. Each section builds on the last, moving from basic prompt structure to advanced techniques.

​
The Art of Asking (Prompt Engineering)

Prompt engineering is simply learning how to communicate clearly with AI assistants like Omnifact. Think of it as learning how to give good directions to a helpful colleague who can assist with almost any task — but only if you ask in the right way.
No technical skills required! If you can send an email to a colleague, you can use Omnifact. You are not “coding” or “programming” anything. You are just having a conversation.
In simple terms: “Prompt engineering” just means learning how to ask AI the right questions to get the best answers. Just like giving directions to a new employee, the clearer and more specific your instructions are, the better results you’ll get.

Start Here: The First 5 Minutes

If you are new to AI, don’t worry about mastering everything at once. Just follow this simple workflow:
  1. Treat it like a colleague: Speak naturally. Say “Please summarize this” or “Help me write an email.”
  2. Just start typing: Don’t worry about being perfect. A “bad” prompt is better than a blank page.
  3. If the answer is weird, tell it to fix it: The AI doesn’t have feelings. If the result isn’t what you wanted, say “That’s too formal, make it friendlier” or “Shorten this.”
  4. Check the facts: Treat the output like a draft from a junior employee. It’s usually great, but you should always verify the details.
That’s it! You’re ready to start. As you get more comfortable, you can explore the techniques below to get even better results.

​
Why It Matters for Your Work

Better prompts can make your work with Omnifact much more effective:
  • Save Time: Get the right answer on the first try instead of going back and forth
  • Get Better Results: Receive more accurate, relevant, and useful responses
  • Work More Efficiently: Complete tasks faster with AI assistance that understands what you need
  • Avoid Frustration: Reduce vague or unhelpful responses that don’t meet your needs

How to Use This Guide Effectively

  1. Start with your skill level: If you’re new to AI, begin with Beginner. If you already use AI tools regularly, you might start with Intermediate.
  2. Practice as you go: Each section includes practice exercises. Don’t skip them — hands-on experience is the best way to learn.
  3. Apply immediately: Try the techniques in your real work. The faster you apply what you learn, the more natural it becomes.
  4. Don’t rush: Take time to master each level before moving to the next. Solid foundations make advanced techniques much easier.
