Assigning Roles (Role Prompting)

​

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
