Writing Your Personal FORA Prompt

Tips on writing your personal FORA Prompt, your prompt influences your personal summaries from meetings and other content.

Updated this week

FORA allows you to personalize the content you receive so that you can consume it in a manner that best fits you.

We accomplish this with your personal prompt -- tell us what you like!

One example:

I want to understand the most important conclusions and actions described in any given piece of communication, and understand how those fit into the larger picture at our company. I am especially interested in decisions, perspectives, and outcomes at the macro and micro levels that have the potential to have a meaningful impact on the business. If I am in a meeting, I want my summaries to prefer information that comes from other people. If you are preparing me for a meeting, focus on information that I need to know before I walk into the room.

This is effective because it instructs FORA on the types of information to extract from a summary and tells FORA to prefer information from other people aka information that the user doesn't know yet.

Another example:

I am in charge of site reliability across the entire company, and am primarily interested in technical issues that people discuss at the company. When technical items are discussed, please provide the most maximal information possible so that I may approach technical issues with full context. Be as verbose as possible.

This works because it gives FORA context about the user's day-to-day job, tells FORA which types of information to prioritize, and instructs FORA how it should "write" summary content for the user -- in this case, as verbose as possible.

A contrasting example:

As the CEO, I am a busy person. Please only give me the bare minimum amount of information needed to understand a given topic, presented in a neutral, factual language without additional interpretation. When presenting subjective conclusions, please include information about who came to those conclusions.

The CEO is a busy person and wants quick, digestable summaries. They can achieve this using a prompt like this one.

All in all, the choice is yours. Happy prompting!
