Intro
We analyzed the behaviors of Solo's power users and found the patterns that made them successful. This article is your tell-all guide on how to prompt Solo like a pro.
Chat-with-Solo
Tailor your question to a specific source
You can direct Solo to query a specific source like Zendesk, Code, Notion, or Intercom by finishing your question with (sources: source 1) For example:
Deep Dive Mode
Solo is designed to give you a quick answer, but sometimes you want a very detailed response. To do that, you can add [deep dive] at the end of your message so Solo knows it should go into detail for you.
Improve Solo's answers
You can tailor your Solo experience by marking an answer as "not helpful." When you do this, make sure you add the answer you would have preferred in the thread so Solo can learn what it should have said. Solo remembers this context in future interactions.
Documentation
Generating a new document in one shot
The key to writing new documentation is to include:
Sections: an outline of the headers you want in your docinstructionsthat include:Intended audience: who is the end readerLevel of detail: Do you want step-by-step instructionsTerminology: This is a great opportunity to clarify your language. An AI can't read your mind. For example, clarify if you mean "Mobile App" or "Mobile web" when you say "Mobile" in the instructions
Files: Any additional files like a PRD, description, or other details that aren't in the code that Solo should use to write the document.
Add additional context to a section
While sections are a good way to outline your article, sometimes it can be helpful to add specific context you want Solo to add to that section. To do that, you can add -(additional context) below the subject to instruct Solo what you want it to add in that section.
Add content to specific sections
In Edit Mode, you can verbally tell Solo where you want an edit to go, like "after section 2." Solo will use that to inform where to put the new section.
Scroll to text suggestion within document
When reviewing documentation suggestions, sometimes it's helpful to see the section of the article where Solo is suggesting the change. To do that, you can click scroll to text and the right panel will highlight the suggested change.
Understand why Solo suggests a change
If you're ever curious why Solo is suggesting a change to your documentation, you can click "..." -> View source and you'll see Solo explain why it's suggesting the change
