Maximizing Your Experience with AVA

AI has introduced a new word into the business lexicon — "prompting". Prompting refers to the way you tell an AI tool what you are trying to do. At its most basic, a prompt can be as simple as "Tell me about GAAP best practices." Prompts can also be very complex, and a well-written prompt can be the key to getting the most out of AI.

AVA is here to transform the way you work, making document creation, data analysis, and knowledge search as smooth as possible. To get the most out of AVA, it's all about how you communicate your needs. Let's dive into a few best practices for writing with AI, document analysis, and knowledge search, to help you navigate AVA with ease.

Part 1: Writing with AVA

When it comes to writing, whether it's emails, reports, or marketing materials, AVA can be your go-to assistant. Here's how to make writing a breeze:

• Be Clear and Specific: Instead of saying "Write a report," try "Write a summary report on Q2 sales performance, focusing on product X's growth."
• Provide a Style Example: If you have a tone in mind, say, "Write this announcement in a formal tone, similar to our annual CEO letters."
• One Task at a Time: Keep your requests focused. If you need a report and an email, start with the report, then initiate a new chat for the email to keep things organized.

Part 2: Analysis with AVA

AVA shines in analyzing documents, from comparing resumes to assessing market research. Here's how to get insightful analyses:

• Detailed Instructions: For a resume analysis, specify, "Compare this resume to the job description for a marketing manager, focusing on experience in digital campaigns."
• Provide Context: When asking for a market research analysis, include, "Highlight trends in consumer behavior from 2020 to 2023 in the tech industry."
• Use Templates: Leverage AVA's built-in templates for common analysis tasks to streamline your process.

Part 3: Knowledge Search with AVA

Need quick facts, research, or answers to specific queries? AVA is at your service. Here's how to conduct an effective knowledge search:

• Ask Precise Questions: Instead of "Tell me about our health plan," ask, "What are the benefits of the Gold Standard Plan for full time Employees?"
• Context Is Key: If you're looking for industry-specific information, mention it, like, "Explain the GDPR implications for healthcare data storage."
• Review and Refine: If the first answer isn't quite right, refine your question based on the information provided, or ask for more details on a specific aspect.

By following these friendly tips and examples, you'll be able to communicate with AVA more effectively, ensuring that your writing, analysis, and knowledge search tasks are handled with precision and ease. Remember, AVA is here to help you excel in your work, and one of the best things you can do is just try new searches to get familiar with how AVA works.
