What You’ll Learn

  • When the Adjutant adds the most value
  • When to skip it
  • How to incorporate it into your workflow

​
Use the Adjutant When…

​
Your Question Is Complex

If your question involves multiple dimensions, trade-offs, or considerations: 
Raw thought: "I'm thinking about whether to build our own auth
system or use a third-party service but there are cost and
security and maintenance considerations and we're a small team"
The Adjutant untangles this into a structured, multi-dimensional question.

​
The Stakes Are High

Important decisions deserve optimized prompts:
  • Strategic planning
  • Investment decisions
  • Hiring choices
  • Architecture decisions
  • Anything you’d present to leadership
The extra minute with the Adjutant means dramatically better analysis from the AIs.

​
Your First Responses Weren’t Great

If you asked a question and the AI responses felt generic or missed the point:
  1. Don’t just rephrase manually
  2. Take your original intent to the Adjutant
  3. Send the optimized version
  4. Compare the difference

​
You’re Not Sure How to Ask

When you know what you need but can’t articulate it clearly: 
"something about our retention is off, customers like us
but they're leaving, need to figure out why and what to do"
The Adjutant identifies what you’re actually asking and structures it.

​
You Want to Explore a Topic Thoroughly

If you’re starting a research session and want comprehensive coverage from all 5 AIs, an optimized prompt ensures nothing gets missed.

​
Skip the Adjutant When…

​
The Question Is Simple

"What's the capital of France?"
"Summarize this paragraph."
"Fix the typo in line 3."
Direct questions don’t benefit from restructuring.

​
You’re Following Up

Follow-up questions already have context from the conversation. The Adjutant is for first messages or fresh directions.

​
You’re Using @Mentions for Quick Tasks

"@Perplexity, find the current price of Bitcoin."
Targeted, specific requests don’t need optimization.

​
You Know Exactly What You Want

If your question is already specific and structured, the Adjutant won’t improve it much.

​
The Workflow

Think → Is this complex? → YES → Adjutant → Review → Send
                         → NO  → Send directly

​
Time Investment

The Adjutant adds about 30-60 seconds to your workflow. In return:
  • AI responses are more relevant
  • You save time on follow-ups (fewer needed)
  • You get actionable answers instead of generic ones

​
The 80/20 Rule

Most users find that about 20% of their questions benefit significantly from the Adjutant - the complex, multi-dimensional ones. The other 80% are direct enough to send without optimization.

​
Tips

  • If you’re unsure whether to use it, look at your raw question: does it have more than one “and” or “but”? If yes, use the Adjutant.
  • The Adjutant is especially valuable when starting a new conversation on a fresh topic.
  • You can use it even for topics you know well - it often surfaces angles you’d forgotten to include.
  • Over time, you’ll internalize the Adjutant’s patterns and naturally write better prompts without it.
