How to guide an AI agent
You can influence how an AI agent works by the instructions and context you give it, so its output fits your business.
#When to use this
Use this when an agent's output needs to better match your voice, rules, or context.
#Step by step
1
Open the agent or task
Go to where you interact with the agent.
2
Provide clear instructions
Give the agent specific goals and context.
3
Review the output
Check that the guidance improved the result.
4
Refine
Adjust your instructions until the output fits.
#Expected result
What you should see
The agent's output better reflects your goals, voice, and constraints.
#Common mistakes
- Vague instructions that produce generic output.
- Not iterating when the first result misses.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| Output still misses the mark | Be more specific about goal, audience, and constraints. |
#Best practices
- Be specific about goal and audience.
- Iterate on instructions.
