Just saw this on twitter and the results look pretty awesome https://twitter.com/akanazawa/status/1577686321119645696?s=2...


I think this is true for everyone. Without ever knowing how google search works, somehow over time you figure out how to do prompt engineering and figure out that the results you want are more highly correlated with certain phrasing.

Wouldn’t something similar apply here though, where after using it for some time you get an inherent understanding of what it works well with and does not?

There’s always some sort of mix of things to learn and make available to the end user though, so that they understand how to use the tool to be successful.

Disclaimer: I also work at Adept


But don't we do this with other humans too? The language one uses with close family, or friends, or colleagues all shifts to achieve the desired effect. Code-switching is pretty common. I think people underestimate how much communication is a feedback-driven process.


This is fantastic thanks for publishing it
