Getting started

Minimal steps to start chatting and get consistent outputs across conversations.

5-step quickstart

  1. Open AI Chat Bots Go to AI Bucket and open the AI Chat Bots app.
  2. State your goal Write a one-line goal for what you want.
  3. Add constraints + context Provide the inputs, constraints, and any examples or links.
  4. Request an output format Ask for bullets, a table, JSON, or a step-by-step plan so the output is predictable.
  5. Iterate once Ask for revisions (tone, detail level, missing edge cases) instead of starting over.

Common pitfalls

  • Too vague: provide a goal, constraints, and examples.
  • No format: specify the structure you want (bullets/table/JSON).
  • Restarting: iterate on the same thread to keep context.
