Writing Effective Prompts
The quality of your results depends on your prompt. Here are tips:
Good prompt example:
"Extract the company name from each cell. If the cell contains a person's name with a company, return only the company. If no company is found, return 'N/A'."
Avoid vague prompts:
"Clean this data" - Too vague, AI won't know what "clean" means for your use case.
