Introduction

Prompts are the phrases used as input into generative AI models like Reggi, and crafting successful prompts will enable you to more efficiently leverage the platform.

Tips for Effective Prompts

Here are some tips for effective prompt engineering

  1. Understand the capabilities and limitations of the model. Reggi can be used to identify and extract requirements, summarize laws and regulations, and answer general purpose compliance questions. Current limitations are include here.

  2. Be as specific and detailed as possible: More detailed questions will lead to more detailed responses. If you do not receive the answer you were looking for, try adding more context and information to the question, like jurisdiction, industry, or use case.

  3. Use a variety of prompt types. Reggi responds differently depending on the specific type of question. To see a list of prompt types as well as their examples, read below. Try varying your prompt types to improve results.

  4. Test and refine prompts to improve their effectiveness. Try tweaking your questions by adding more information, different formats, and new phrasing to improve effectiveness. Save effect prompts by clicking the Save icon within the History section at the bottom right of the Reggi screen.

Supported Prompt Types and Examples

  1. Summarization: Useful for summarizing a given authoritative document on Regology.
