How to Use AI Copilot in Regulatory Guides

Best practices for extracting accurate insights and regulatory data using AI assistance.

Tips for Using Copilot Q&A

Using Copilot Q&A can enhance your experience with our application by providing accurate and timely information. To get the best results, here are some essential tips and guidelines to follow when crafting your questions.

1. Be Direct and Specific

  • Avoid Ambiguity: Formulate your questions clearly to minimize confusion. Instead of asking broad questions, focus on specific aspects you want to know about.
  • Example:
    -> INSTEAD OF: "what about X..." 
    -> ASK: "Tell me about the regulation of X in Australia?"

2. Separate Complex Questions

  • Break It Down: If you have a multi-part question, separate it into smaller, more manageable queries. This helps ensure clarity and accuracy in responses.
  • Example
    -> INSTEAD OF:  “Is X allowed in Y, if yes tell me the maximum limit”
    -> FIRST ASK: "Is X allowed in Y?"
    -> FOLLOW UP WITH: "What is the maximum limit?"

3. Avoid Temporal References

  • Stay Timeless: Refrain from using phrases that reference specific time frames (e.g., "in the last year," "recent changes"). These can limit the effectiveness of the response.
  • Example
    -> INSTEAD OF: "What are the recent changes in X?"
    ->ASK: "What are the rules regarding X?" and configure the filters by date to the time period of your interest.

4. Requesting Sources

  • Direct Sources: If you need information from specific studies or journals, simply request the information without asking for the source. We will provide the source for you by default so this behavior is redundant.
  • Example
    -> INSTEAD OF: "Tell me the source for X,"
    ->ASK: "What are the findings related to X?"

5. Use Clear Terminology

  • Be Precise: Use terms that are widely understood to avoid misinterpretation. If your question involves jargon or ambiguous terms, consider explaining it briefly.
  • Example
    ->INSTEAD OF: "What are the compliance measures for XYZ?"
    ->ASK: "What compliance measures are necessary for XYZ in the context of mycotoxins?"

Conclusion

Mastering the art of prompt crafting is key to unlocking the full potential of Copilot Q&A. By adhering to these guidelines, you ensure that the system retrieves the most relevant regulatory data for your needs.

Remember: Clear, specific, and well-structured questions will always yield more accurate and actionable insights than broad queries.
