You can chat with Terminal using natural language through examples available on the Alfred tab on the left sidebar, or by entering a question into the chat bar at the bottom of your screen.
When you enter a prompt into Terminal, it pings each assistant to see which one can best answer your question. Here are some tricks to perfecting your prompt:
1. Be as specific as possible
While the system can respond to ambiguity, the more specific your prompt is the more accurate the response will be.
In the example below, the user is attempting to call the Screener assistant. On the first attempt, the prompt is vague and instead calls the Document Search assistant.
On the second attempt, the user is more specific about the return they are looking for. By including "above 15%", they are able to successfully call the Screener assistant.
2. Select the desired assistant
Sometimes, your prompt can be answered in multiple ways, so the system will return multiple assistants. If the first-responding assistant does not answer your question, you can click on the desired assistant returned by Terminal.
Clicking on the desired assistant will return a response from that assistant.
3. Try asking in a different way
If you know the prompt you entered should generate a response, but Terminal is not responding as expected, try your prompt again with different language. A small change in wording can make all the difference.
Note that if Terminal is not 100% certain of an answer, it will not provide one. Read more about error messages.
