Helpful Hints

1. Be specific with your questions: TritonGPT is designed to provide detailed and accurate responses, so try to be as specific as possible with your questions. Providing specific context will help TritonGPT understand what you're looking for and give you a better response.
2. Be conversational/ask additional questions: TritonGPT recognizes the back-and-forth nature of conversation. Don’t stop with the first prompt–continue to ask follow-up questions and ask for clarification if you don't get the response you were expecting. Your questions help refine its responses.
3. Use natural language: TritonGPT is designed to understand natural language, so try to ask your questions in the same way you would ask a human. Avoid using overly formal or technical language, and feel free to use contractions and colloquialisms.
4. Check the source material: TritonGPT has access to a wide range of documents and resources, but it's always a good idea to check the source documents linked at the bottom of the response. This can help you find the information you need more quickly and efficiently.

AI Prompting

To get the most out of TritonGPT (or any AI model), you need to craft clear and well-structured prompts. Prompts serve as the cornerstone of communication with AI models. The best prompts precisely outline the task at hand, offer context to enhance comprehension, and include thoughtful follow-up questions and feedback, leading to the most accurate results. Take one of the training modules to help you get the most out of TritonGPT. 

Components of good prompts:

• Task (mandatory): always start with an action verb (Generate, Write, Analyze, Summarize, etc.) and spell out the end goal (single or multi-task requests)
• Context (important): Ask yourself 3 questions: What is the user’s background? What does success look like? What environment are they in?
• Examples (important): Examples help the model figure out what the final result should look like.
• Tone (optional, but nice to have): Ask TritonGPT to suggest a tone for the feeling you’re trying to convey (use professional but direct language.)

The key to using generative AI is to be specific about the task you’re trying to accomplish and to give enough information to the model so that it can respond in a way that’s meaningful and useful.
