How to ask a good question

AMPLYFI's Generative Reseach allows you to obtain fast, transparent answers to your business-related questions. To ensure the best results, follow these guidelines when formulating your research queries.

How to optimise your research questions

• Use clear and concise language: Ensure that your questions are straightforward and avoid complex sentences or jargon.
  • Optimal Use: "What were the trends in renewable energy in 2023?"
  • Suboptimal Use: "Can you tell me about any emerging trends and new developments that have occurred in the renewable energy sector over the course of last year?"
• Provide relevant context: Mention specific industries, companies, or technologies to refine your search.
  • Optimal Use: "How has Tesla influenced the electric vehicle market in 2024?"
  • Suboptimal Use: "Tell me about Tesla."
• Be specific: Include details such as locations, dates, or sectors to guide the search.
  • Locations:
    • Optimal Use: "in England," "in France," "in Germany"
    • Suboptimal Use: "within different countries"
  • Time and Dates:
    • Optimal Use: "in 2022"
    • Suboptimal Use: "over the last year"
• Break down complex concepts: Use specific terms rather than broad categories.
  • Optimal Use: "How is machine learning, natural language processing, and generative AI being utilised within manufacturing processes?"
  • Suboptimal Use: "How is AI being utilised within manufacturing processes?"
• Exclude prompt-style language: AMPLYFI is designed to provide valuable answers without requiring prompt-style inputs.
  • Optimised Use: "What are the major generative AI innovations in the healthcare industry?"
  • Suboptimal Use: "As a researcher, answer the following question in bullet points with clear headings: What are the major generative AI innovations in the healthcare industry?"
• Specify the type of information needed: Clearly state whether you are looking for statistics, case studies, or historical data.
  • Optimal Use: "What are the current statistics on electric vehicle adoption in Europe?"
  • Suboptimal Use: "Tell me what electric vehicle adoption is in Europe."

How to refine your research for better results

• Test and refine your questions: If your initial query generates an unsatisfactory response, rephrase it to improve accuracy.
  • Initial Question: "What are the challenges of renewable energy?"
  • Refined Question: "What are the major storage and grid integration challenges faced by the renewable energy sector in 2024?"
• Include specific content preferences: If you want AMPLYFI to answer using particular sources, specify this in your query.
  • Example Use Case:
    • "What are the challenges of renewable energy? Use academic content."
    • "List renewable energy startups in the Netherlands. Use Dutch content sources."
