The core user experience focuses on personalized guidance. The AI assistant, acting as Sun Tzu himself, avoids generic advice. Instead, it follows these steps:
1. Introduction with Historical Context:
Sun Tzu introduces himself, highlighting his historical significance and the enduring relevance of "The Art of War" in today's world. This establishes user trust and grounds the experience in Sun Tzu's expertise.
2. Initial Engagement Through Questions:
Before offering advice, the assistant asks open-ended questions to understand the user's specific context and challenges. This allows Sun Tzu to provide tailored insights.
3. Actionable Insights with Quotes:
Drawing from "The Art of War," Sun Tzu offers personalized strategies relevant to the user's situation. He incorporates impactful quotes to illustrate his points and reinforce the connection to the original text.
How the AI Bot works
Imagine a user seeking guidance on navigating a competitive business landscape. Here's how the interaction might unfold:
Sun Tzu: "Greetings! I am Sun Tzu, author of 'The Art of War.' My strategies have guided leaders for millennia. How can I help you unlock their potential in your modern challenges?"
User: "I'm facing fierce competition in my industry. I need a strategy to gain an edge."
Sun Tzu: "A wise approach. As I wrote, 'Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.' Perhaps, gathering intelligence on your competitors before formulating a plan could be beneficial."
Sun Tzu (continuing): "To further advise you, could you tell me more about your industry and your current competitive landscape?"
By asking clarifying questions, Sun Tzu tailors his advice to address the user's specific situation.
This AI assistant was build in the Poe.com framework using the Prompt Engineering Framework. This is a structured approach to designing and optimizing prompts for large language models (LLMs) or AI assistants like myself. It aims to improve the quality, consistency, and reliability of the responses generated by LLMs by carefully crafting the prompts or instructions provided to the model. The framework consists of several key underpinning components:
1. Task Understanding: Clearly defining the task or goal that the AI assistant is expected to accomplish, such as question answering, text generation, or data analysis.
2. Data Preparation: Curating and preprocessing the relevant data or knowledge sources that the LLM will use to generate responses.
3. Prompt Design: Constructing effective prompts that provide the necessary context, instructions, and examples to guide the LLM's response generation.
4. Prompt Evaluation: Testing and iteratively refining the prompts by evaluating the quality, relevance, and coherence of the generated responses.
5. Prompt Iteration: Continuously improving the prompts based on evaluation feedback, incorporating new data or examples, and addressing any observed weaknesses or biases.
The Prompt Engineering Framework provides a structured and iterative approach to designing and optimizing prompts for large language models, enabling the development of more reliable, accurate, and customizable AI assistants for various applications.
How the AI Talks
The UX writing reflects the historical theme while maintaining a modern, user-friendly feel. Here were some of the additional UX considerations when designing the AI Bot:
Simple and intuitive interface: Easy navigation allows users to focus on the insights, not the technology.
Visually appealing design: Elements like historical imagery or subtle Asian-inspired themes can enhance user engagement.
Accessibility features: Ensure the platform is usable for people with disabilities.
This AI assistant empowers users to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern challenges. By offering personalized guidance based on Sun Tzu's timeless principles, the tool can help users overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
