Talk to Your Agent

The way you communicate with your AI employee dramatically affects the quality of output. Here are the core principles:

Be Specific — Instead of "write me an email", say "write a follow-up email to our client John about the Q2 marketing proposal, professional but warm tone"

Provide Context — "We discussed pricing last week and he was concerned about the budget" gives your agent crucial background

State the Format — "Give me 3 bullet points" or "Write a 200-word paragraph" helps your agent structure the response perfectly

Your agent's personality can be shaped to match your needs:

Professional Mode — "Always respond in a formal, business-appropriate tone. Use data and facts to support your points."

Creative Mode — "Be creative and playful. Feel free to use metaphors and unconventional ideas."

Teaching Mode — "Explain things as if I'm new to this topic. Use simple language and provide examples."

You can set a default personality by telling your agent: "From now on, always communicate in [style]. This is my preference for all future conversations."

The real power of an AI Employee shows in extended conversations:

Build on Previous Responses — "That's good, but make the second paragraph more concise" or "Now translate that into Chinese"

Iterative Refinement — Start broad, then narrow down. "Draft a marketing plan" → "Focus on social media" → "Add budget estimates"

Reference Past Conversations — "Remember the competitor analysis we did last week? Apply the same framework to this new market"

Your agent maintains full context within a conversation and can recall key points from previous sessions.

Help your agent remember important things by using "context anchors":

Name Things — "Let's call this Project Phoenix" makes it easy to reference later: "Update me on Project Phoenix"

Set Priorities — "This is our top priority for Q2" tells the agent to weigh it more heavily

Create Shortcuts — "When I say 'weekly report', I mean the format we discussed — 3 sections: wins, challenges, next steps"

Context anchors act like bookmarks in your agent's memory, making retrieval faster and more accurate.
