We recommend the following advanced prompting techniques:
Break down complex queries
Decompose complex queries into smaller, manageable parts.
Prompt iteratively
Refining and Iterating: iterative prompting involves refining prompts based on initial responses to get more detailed and accurate information.
Learn from suggested questions
Use Ask Blue J’s suggested questions as a follow-up to go deeper on your query. You can also use the suggested follow up in a new conversation thread if the results are superior.
Here are some examples:
| Technique | Original Prompt | Follow-Up Prompt |
| Break down query into smaller, manageable parts | "Explain the tax implications of international income for U.S. citizens, focusing on foreign tax credits and the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion." |
Prompt 1: "What are the criteria for claiming the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion?" Prompt 2: "How does the foreign tax credit work for U.S. citizens with income from foreign sources?" |
| Refine and iterate based on initial responses to get more detailed information | "What are the tax benefits for small businesses?” | Prompt 2: "How does Section 179 allow small businesses to deduct equipment purchases?" |
| Use suggested questions to continue the conversation | “What factors are relevant to the assessment of whether a debt-funded UK BidCo should be regarded as having an unallowable purpose?” | ABJ Suggested follow-up: “How does the size of tax advantages influence the assessment of an unallowable purpose for a debt-funded UK BidCo?” |
