Tips for Effective Prompts

To get the best responses from Copilot, here are a few tips:

1. Be Specific About Timeframes ⌛

   • When asking for progress, safety reports, or equipment usage, specify the time range.

   • For example:

     • "What was the progress over the last 3 days?"

     • "Identify hazards observed this week."

2. State Your Role 👷

   • Providing context about who you are helps Copilot give more relevant responses.

   • For example:

     • "I am a construction project manager. Can you summarize the progress for the last 3 days?"

3. Ask for Timestamp Links 🔗

   • To validate what Copilot reports, ask for timestamps to verify the footage. For example:

     • "Can you provide the footage from Friday at 2:00 PM to validate this safety hazard?"

4. Narrow Down the Focus ✒️

   • If you’re looking for specific details, such as a particular component or structure, mention it clearly.

   • For example:

     • "Please focus on the cylindrical component delivered on the 30th of August."

5. Use Feedback Buttons 👍

   • If a response is incorrect or irrelevant, use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down buttons to provide feedback and improve Copilot’s accuracy.

6. Iterate Your Questions: ❓

   • If Copilot’s initial response isn’t accurate, then refine the question and try again.

   • For example:

     • "Can you give me more specific details about the concrete work done last Wednesday?"
