How Prompt Optimization Works
The Prompt Optimizer analyzes your initial prompt and enhances it in several ways:
Optimization Type | Description | Example |
Clarity Improvements | Makes ambiguous instructions more precise | "Show sales data" → "Display monthly sales data from Q1 2026 as a table" |
Structural Enhancement | Adds helpful formatting or organization | Adds numbered steps or logical sections to complex requests |
Context Addition | Includes relevant context when needed | Adds industry-specific context to generic questions |
Specificity Refinement | Makes vague requests more specific | "Help with marketing" → "Provide 5 social media marketing strategies for a B2B software company" |
Note: The optimizer preserves your original intent while making the prompt more effective for AI processing.
Best Practices
Start with your natural language: Write your initial prompt in your own words
Include key information: Mention important details like timeframes, quantities, or formats
Review the optimization: Always check the enhanced prompt to ensure it maintains your original intent
