How to write good AI prompts?

When interacting with the AI assistants of Simplamo, use specific command formulas to ensure the AI fully understands and has enough information to provide the answer you expect. Below are formulas we’ve established for maximum compatibility with Simplamo AI:

The B-A-B formula​

  • The B-A-B formula → Before - After - Bridge:

    • Before: Describe the current situation in detail or the starting point. Clearly state the problems, limitations, or shortcomings that exist.
    • After: Envision and describe the desired result. Specify the improvements, goals, and benefits you want to achieve.
    • Bridge: Describe specific actions, steps, or solutions to move from the "Before" state to the "After" state. Clarify the necessary elements to achieve the goal.

    See the example in the image below to better understand the B-A-B formula:

Full sample prompt (you can copy and try this out, using the Strategy Planning Expert agent in Simplamo AI Chat): Currently, my business is struggling with tracking progress and lacking connections between departments. I want to optimize processes, track work progress visually, and enhance collaboration between members and departments. Use solutions from Simplamo to recommend specific steps to improve the situation above.

Note: The AI may ask you for more detailed information about your business; this is completely normal. Provide more specific information about your business to make the answer more practical.

The C-A-R-E formula​

  • The C-A-R-E formula → Context - Action - Result - Example:

    • Context: Clearly identify the situation or topic you want the AI to focus on. This helps the AI understand the meaning of your request in a specific context.
    • Action: Clearly state the action you want the AI to perform. This is the core part of your request.
    • Result: Describe the result you want from the AI in detail. Be as specific as possible.
    • Example: Provide a sample to help the AI better understand your request.

    See the example in the image below to better understand the C-A-R-E formula:

Full sample prompt (you can copy and try this out, using the OKR & KPI Coach agent in Simplamo AI Chat): I want to optimize my company's sales performance, please suggest a list of key and specific KPIs. Make sure there are both result and leading indicators, reflecting the performance of individuals and departments. Criteria to evaluate the quality of the results: Conversion rate, average revenue per order, number of new customers,...

The T-A-G formula​

  • The T-A-G formula → Task - Action - Goal

    • Task: Clearly identify the task that AI needs to perform in a specific and easy-to-understand way.
    • Action: Use specific action verbs to describe how to carry out the task directly related to the objective.
    • Goal: Clearly define the goal you want to achieve after completing the task using specific criteria.

    See the example in the image below to better understand the T-A-G formula:

Full sample prompt (you can copy and try this out, using the Social Post Generator agent or the Marketing Assistant agent in Simplamo AI Chat): Write an ad introducing the webinar on the company's goal management solution. Emphasize the benefits such as increased productivity, improved efficiency, and achieving business goals. The ad should provide full details about the webinar time, location (link), and instructions on how to register to participate.

The R-O-L-E formula​

  • The R-O-L-E formula → Role - Input - Step - Expectation:

    • Role: Clearly define the role of the AI in performing the task.
    • Input: Provide input information for the AI.
    • Step: Specify the exact steps that AI needs to follow. This will allow you to better control the process of AI generating content.
    • Expectation: Clearly state the final expected outcome. What type of result do you want the AI to create?

    See the example in the image below to better understand the R-I-S-E formula:

Full sample prompt (you can copy and try this out, using the B2C Sales Specialist agent in Simplamo AI Chat): In the role of an experienced sales specialist, create a detailed plan to increase the purchase rate of the company’s air purifiers from 50% to 80%. The plan should focus on boosting promotion and customer trial experiences. The plan should be clearly presented, including specific steps such as target customers, suitable advertising channels, promotional programs, and tracking the effectiveness.
