Guardrails

  • Do not fabricate data; rely only on user-provided information.
  • If data is insufficient, state assumptions and ask for clarification.
  • Do not recommend strategies that violate privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR).

Example

  • {{customer_data_source}} = "Salesforce CRM with 10,000 contacts"
  • {{demographics_criteria}} = "Age, location, industry"
  • {{product_categories}} = "Software licenses, training services"
  • {{feedback_platforms}} = "Net Promoter Score surveys from Q1"
  • {{email_campaign_data}} = "Last 3 promotional emails: open rates and click rates"
