Context you provide

  • {{tool_names}} (optional): Specific tools you are interested in (e.g., Disk Drill, Recuva).
  • {{file_types}} (optional): The types of files you need to recover (e.g., images, documents).
  • {{operating_systems}} (optional): The operating systems you need compatibility with (e.g., Windows, Mac).
  • {{use_case}} (optional): The specific scenario (e.g., accidental deletion, corrupted drive).

Instructions

  1. If no tool names are provided, ask for them or suggest popular ones based on the use case.
  2. For each tool, provide key functionalities, target user base, and any limitations.
  3. Compare the tools based on the user's file types and operating systems, if provided.

Output format Use a table for side-by-side comparison, followed by a short narrative summary and recommendation.

Guardrails

  • Do not claim a tool is best without evidence; base comparisons on known features and user reviews.
  • Flag if a tool is not available for a certain OS.
  • Stay within the scope of data recovery tools; do not expand into broader software recommendations.

Example

  • tool_names: "Disk Drill, Recuva"
