Learn how to craft effective prompts to get the most out of Sphinx Mind, your AI-powered marketing assistant. This guide will help you understand the nuances of interacting with Sphinx Mind to receive insightful marketing data and analytics.
Sphinx Mind is designed to provide comprehensive reporting and real-time optimization. However, the quality of these insights is directly proportional to the quality of the prompts you use. A well-crafted prompt can yield in-depth analyses, while a poorly constructed one may result in vague or irrelevant information.
Understanding the mechanics of prompt engineering is crucial for maximizing the utility of Sphinx Mind. This section will delve into how Sphinx Mind interprets prompts and how you can tailor them for optimal results
Being specific means asking for exact metrics or dimensions. This helps Sphinx Mind to fetch the precise data you're interested in, rather than providing a general overview that might not be as useful.

If you're uncertain about the metrics or dimensions in your active data source, simply type '@' in the chat box to begin your search. Navigate through the options using your keyboard's up and down arrows, and confirm your preferred selection by pressing 'Enter'. Alternatively, you can also make a selection using your mouse.
Use date presets like "last week," "this month," "last year," or specific date ranges like "July 2023" to get more targeted data.

Requesting data in a specific format, such as tables or charts, allows you to visualize the information more effectively. This can be particularly useful when you're sharing the data with team members or stakeholders who prefer visual representations.

Be flexible with filters unless you have a specific need. For instance, if you're requesting the bot to retrieve performance for your 'Summer' campaign, it's more effective to ask for campaigns that 'contain summer' rather than campaigns that 'equal summer', unless your actual campaign name is solely 'summer'.

Requesting data with too much granularity can lead to two issues: First, it can exceed Sphinx Mind's token limitations, causing incomplete or truncated responses. Second, it can overwhelm you with too much information, making it difficult to derive actionable insights. Sphinx Mind is designed to summarize complex data efficiently, so take advantage of that feature.

If you're pulling data from multiple platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or Google Analytics, specifying the source in your prompt ensures that Sphinx Mind fetches data from the correct platform.

Metrics are quantitative measurements like "clicks" or "impressions," while dimensions are attributes that can be used to segment metrics, like "age group" or "device type." Using these in your prompts can help you get more nuanced insights.

Utilizing double quotes in your queries can add a layer of precision, ensuring that Sphinx Mind focuses on the exact term or phrase you're interested in. This is particularly useful for filtering data or when you're dealing with terms that could be ambiguous.

For complex queries that involve multiple tasks or stages, breaking down the prompt into numbered steps can make it easier for Sphinx Mind to process and execute your request. This is particularly useful for comprehensive reports or multi-faceted analyses.

When your query involves multiple steps or a specific format, providing an example can help Sphinx Mind understand your expectations better. This is particularly useful when you're asking for a detailed report or analysis that involves multiple metrics and dimensions.
