Transforming your AI from a general assistant to a specialized expert is straightforward with Spot’s Context prompt. By defining a specific role within the Context text box available in all AI modules, you can tailor the AI’s expertise, tone, and focus to meet your unique needs.

​
Why Assign a Role to Your AI?

  • Enhanced Precision: Defining a role ensures the AI understands the specific nuances of specialized tasks, leading to more accurate and reliable outputs.
  • Customized Communication: Whether you require the analytical depth of a financial analyst or the creative flair of a marketing strategist, role assignment adjusts the AI’s tone and style accordingly.
  • Focused Responses: Setting a clear role context keeps the AI aligned with your specific objectives, minimizing irrelevant or off-target information.

How to Assign a Role Using the Context System Prompt

Utilize the Context text box in your AI node to define the AI’s role. This Context sets the foundational behavior and expertise level of the AI, while all task-specific instructions should be included in the Prompt text box.

​
Example Setup

  1. Access the Context Box: Navigate to your AI node and locate the Context text box.

  2. Define the Role: Enter a clear and specific role prompt that outlines the AI’s expertise and perspective.

    Example:

  3. Add Task-Specific Instructions: In the Prompt text box, provide the specific instructions for the AI to follow.

    Example:

Role Assignment Tip: Experiment with various roles to observe how the AI’s expertise and perspective adapt. For instance, a data scientist will interpret data differently than a marketing strategist, offering insights tailored to each domain.

​
Examples of Role Prompting

To demonstrate the impact of assigning roles, let’s explore two scenarios: one without role prompting and one with a defined role using the Context.

In this example:

  • Without Role Assignment: The AI provides a basic analysis of the software licensing agreement, summarizing key sections but missing deeper insights and critical issues that could have significant implications for a large company.

  • With Role Assignment: By defining the AI as the General Counsel of a Fortune 500 tech company, the AI delivers a thorough and professional analysis. It identifies critical issues, assesses risks, and offers clear recommendations, demonstrating a higher level of expertise and attention to detail.

​
Best Practices for Assigning Roles

  • Be Specific: Clearly define the AI’s role in the Context text box to ensure it understands its expertise and perspective.
  • Separate Instructions: Use the Context text box solely for role definition. Place all task-specific instructions within the user messages to maintain clarity.
  • Experiment and Iterate: Test different roles to find the best fit for your tasks. Adjust the role descriptions to fine-tune the AI’s performance and output style.
