A great AIDular prompt tells the assistant exactly what to look for, who it is for, and what to ignore. Get that right, and every report that lands in your inbox will actually be worth reading.
Why Your Prompt Wording Matters
AIDular searches the web based on what you write. Vague wording brings vague results. Specific wording brings specific, useful results.
Think of it like a search bar. "Tech news" gives you millions of things. "New smartphone releases under $400 in the US" gives you exactly what you care about.
The good news is you do not need to be technical to write a strong prompt. You just need to answer a few simple questions before you type anything.
5 Steps to Write a Prompt That Works
Step 1: Name the exact topic
Do not use a broad category. Name the real thing you want to track.
- Weak: "football news"
- Strong: "Premier League transfer news and match results"
Step 2: Add a location or scope if it matters
If the topic is regional, say so. If it is global, say that too.
- "electric vehicle charging station news in Australia"
- "remote graphic design job listings worldwide"
Step 3: Say what kind of information you want
Do you want news articles? Price changes? New job listings? Opinion pieces? Be clear.
- "new research papers and news articles about gut health"
- "new product launches from Nike and Adidas"
Step 4: Tell it what to skip
This is the step most people miss. If there is noise you do not want, say so.
- "ignore opinion pieces, only factual news"
- "skip sponsored content and press releases"
Step 5: Mention how recent you want the results to be
AIDular already runs on your chosen schedule, but telling it to focus on recent content helps a lot.
- "published in the last 7 days"
- "from the past month"
A Copy-Paste Example Prompt
Here is a ready-to-use prompt you can copy and adapt:
Track new scientific studies and news articles about sleep and mental health published in the last 7 days. Focus on findings from universities or health organizations. Skip opinion blogs and ads. I am a university student interested in practical takeaways.
This prompt works because it names the topic, sets a time window, filters out noise, and gives context about the reader.
Matching Your Prompt to the Right Schedule
Once your prompt is written, pick a schedule that fits the pace of your topic.
- Daily works for fast-moving topics like stock prices, sports scores, or breaking news.
- Weekly is good for most topics, such as industry trends, job listings, or product launches.
- Monthly suits slow-moving subjects like academic research, policy changes, or long-term market shifts.
A mismatch here wastes your time. If a topic only changes once a month, a daily report will mostly be empty or repetitive.
One More Tip: Write for Yourself, Not for a Machine
The best prompts sound like something you would say to a smart friend. Do not overthink the wording or try to use special syntax. Just describe what you want, the way you would explain it out loud.
If a report comes back and misses the mark, tweak one part of the prompt at a time. Change the topic name, add a filter, or adjust the scope. Small changes usually make a big difference.
