Prompt engineering conversational boosting

Hi all!

 

I am working on a Copilot implementation using conversational boosting to answer questions about some of my own data sources.

One important aspect for me is the way it answers, I know I can use the "Custom instructions (preview)" field of the Create generative answers block but this does not work for all my prompts.

 

E.g. one important aspect for me is that it should always answer using bullet points (even if it is a very short answer I'd still like it listed). So I added, "Talk to me in bullet points" to the custom instructions field. When I then ask a question that results in a longer text that could easily be made into bullet points it does not do it. But when I specifically add that same text to the front of my question it directly answers in bullet points perfectly.

 

So I guess the custom instructions is still kinda unreliable, are there ways to improve this?

Or maybe just other ways to add extra prompting to the bot?

 

P.S. another aspect of this. How good will this approach work with multiple prompts? The bullet points are just one of multiple aspects I would like in my answers.

 

Thanks!

Kind regards!

    You can try using a variable that will extend user’s question with the prefix you want. Something like “Talk to me in bullet points! ” & System.Activity.Text.
