Conversation Best Practices

Quick Answer: Be specific in your first message, let the full sequence run at least once, then use @mentions and follow-ups to drill down. Generate documents whenever value emerges.

​
What You’ll Learn

  • How to get the most from multi-AI conversations
  • Patterns that produce great results
  • Common mistakes and how to avoid them
  • The power-user workflow

​
The Golden Rules

​
1. First Message: Be Specific

Vague questions produce vague answers. Specific questions produce actionable insights.

​
2. Let the Full Sequence Run

Don’t interrupt the first round. All 5 AIs responding gives you:
  • Five different angles you might not have considered
  • Natural fact-checking between responses
  • A complete picture before you narrow down

​
3. Follow Up on What’s Interesting

After the first round, pick the 1-2 most interesting points and dig deeper:

​
4. Generate Documents at Peak Value

Don’t wait for a “perfect” endpoint. Generate a Master Document when:
  • You have a clear answer
  • A valuable insight just emerged
  • You need to share progress with someone
  • You’re about to shift topics

​
5. Use the Right Mode

​
Power-User Workflow

  1. Open - Specific question to all 5 AIs (Sequential mode)
  2. Identify - Which responses have the most valuable angles?
  3. Deepen - @mention those AIs for follow-ups
  4. Challenge - “What’s wrong with this conclusion?” or switch to Debate
  5. Capture - Generate a document (Distill for quick, Executive Brief for formal)
  6. Iterate - Continue or start a new thread within the same project

​
Common Mistakes

​
Too broad, too early

Mistake: “Tell me everything about AI” Fix: “What are the top 3 AI applications in manufacturing that have ROI data?”

​
Interrupting too fast

Mistake: Stopping after Grok’s response because it looks good Fix: Let all 5 respond first. The later AIs often add unexpected value.

​
Not following up

Mistake: Asking one question, reading responses, leaving Fix: Round 2 and 3 are where the real value lives. Push back, dig in.

​
Ignoring disagreements

Mistake: Skipping over when AIs disagree Fix: Disagreements are gold. Ask: “You two disagree on X. Explain why and which position is stronger.”

​
Same question, different conversation

Mistake: Starting a new conversation to ask a follow-up Fix: Stay in the same conversation. Context accumulates and makes responses better.

​
Not using @mentions after round 1

Mistake: Sending every follow-up to all 5 AIs Fix: After the first round, target specific AIs for specific follow-ups. Faster and more focused.

​
Conversation Length Sweet Spots

After 6-7 rounds, you usually have more value in the conversation than you can hold in your head. That’s when Master Documents become essential - they synthesize everything into a structured output.

​
Tips

  • Start each session by reviewing your project description and custom instructions. Are they still accurate?
  • If responses feel generic, add more context: your industry, company size, constraints, what you’ve already tried.
  • Use “what if” questions to explore alternatives: “What if we had half the budget?” or “What if we needed to launch in 2 weeks?”
  • When all AIs agree, that’s usually a strong signal. When they disagree, you’ve found an interesting tension worth exploring.
  • Save your best conversations by generating Master Documents. Good discussions are worth preserving.
  • Turn auto-follow off when you want to re-read an earlier response while later AIs are still streaming. Use the Jump to Latest button to catch up.
  • Adjust streaming speed in settings if you prefer faster or slower text rendering during responses.
