Role Prompting

Role prompting is like having instant access to experts in any field. Tell Omnifact to “act as” a specific professional, and the quality of responses often improves significantly.

​
The Simple Formula

Role prompting means asking Omnifact to respond from the perspective of a specific profession or expert. The simplest format that works: 
"Act as a [ROLE]. [YOUR REQUEST]."
“Act as a [JOB TITLE]. [WHAT YOU NEED HELP WITH].” When you assign a role, Omnifact will:
  • Use vocabulary and concepts from that field
  • Apply relevant expertise and best practices
  • Structure responses appropriately
  • Consider priorities specific to that role

See the Difference

❌ Without Role:
Prompt: “Create interview questions for a customer service position.” Result: Generic questions like “Tell me about yourself” and “What are your strengths?”
✅ With Role:
Prompt: “Act as an experienced HR manager. Create behavioral interview questions for a Customer Success Manager that assess problem-solving and customer empathy.” Result: Professional interview questions like “Describe a time when you turned around a frustrated customer relationship. What was the situation, what actions did you take, and what was the outcome?” Plus follow-up questions and evaluation criteria.

​
Choosing the Right Role

Match the expertise you need: Think about what professional would actually handle this task.
  • Budget analysis → Financial Analyst
  • Team communication → HR Manager
  • Marketing campaign → Marketing Director
Be specific: “Customer success manager at a B2B SaaS company” works better than “manager” Include experience level: “Senior marketing director” for strategic decisions, “experienced project manager” for implementation

When Role Prompting Isn’t Working

Not sure which role to use? Ask Omnifact! Try: “What professional role would be best suited to help me create an employee onboarding checklist?”
