Your first five prompts
If you only try five things, try these. Together they walk the whole loop: read, diagnose, chase, coach, create.1
Get the lay of the land
2
Find the gap
3
See what is outstanding
4
Understand a weak session
5
Build something new
Prompts 2 and 4 carry an extra clause on purpose, and it is not padding. Ask for the real thing, further down this page, explains why, and it is the most useful five minutes of reading here.
If you run enablement
If you manage a team
If you are practicing
You see your own practice. You do not need a manager or an admin to run any of these.One tip that saves the most time
Ask for feedback across several sessions in a single question rather than one at a time:Making your workspace easier to ask about
Your assistant finds things by name, so the names you use in Exec decide how well it can answer.- Descriptive scenario names beat numbered ones. “Discovery call with a skeptical CFO” is findable. “Scenario 4” is not.
- Groups make team questions possible. Without groups, “how is my team doing” has no team to refer to.
- Consistent skill names let you compare across scenarios and over time.
Getting reliable answers
Everything above is what to ask. This is how to make sure the answer is one you can act on. Your assistant answers the question you asked. That sounds obvious, and it is the single thing most worth understanding about working this way. Ask for the worst performer and you get whichever row is numerically worst. On a real workspace that is very often a row that is technically true and practically meaningless. The rest of this page is how to avoid that, and how to check an answer before you act on it.Ask for the real thing
Every workspace accumulates rows that are not really results: skills nobody has practiced, sessions somebody opened and abandoned, people who were assigned something last week. Those rows hold the extreme values, so they are exactly what a superlative question surfaces first.Weakest skill
Lowest scoring session
The general pattern
Check the answer
You are going to act on some of these answers, and a few of them will end up in a review conversation with one of your reps. So it is worth knowing how to see the evidence. Your assistant will show its work if you ask. Three questions, in increasing depth:1
Ask what it counted
2
Ask which sessions
3
Ask for the moment
Things worth double-checking
- Any number you are about to forward. Ask what it counted before you paste it into a deck.
- Comparisons between teams. Check that both groups actually have comparable amounts of practice. Two averages are not comparable if one rests on ten times the data.
- Anything phrased as a cause. Your assistant will happily say practice improved performance if you ask it to look. Practice data and outcome data moving together is not proof that one caused the other, and a claim like that will get challenged.
- A grade you find surprising. Pull the criteria and the quoted moment. If it still looks wrong, that is worth raising with us rather than passing along.
If an answer looks wrong
Work through it in this order:- Ask what it counted. Most surprising answers are a small-sample artifact.
- Ask it to list the underlying sessions, then check one in Exec. If Exec disagrees with your assistant, tell us.
- Check you are seeing everything you should. If you are a manager and results look thin, you may only be seeing your own groups. See What the AI can see.
- Check the answer is not empty for a connection reason. An unfinished sign-in returns nothing rather than an error, and an assistant will describe an empty workspace without suspecting itself. See Troubleshooting.
