Cheat sheet - Help AskX yield better results



Ask actual questions

Asking instead of searching is something we all need to build habit on.
If you type just keywords, AskX will reformulate it as a question, but you may not get the most relevant information. By formulating your query as a question, you help AskX think critically about what it should look for.


Boost key words with double quotes

AskX relies on Search to give you answers. If you know a specific term must appear in the results, you can boost its importance by enclosing it in double quotes: What is "AskX".
By using double quotes, you signal to the system that these words are particularly significant for your query, often leading to more precise and relevant answers.


Avoid too common keywords

This is a counter intuitive tip: often, you shouldn't use the keywords most present in your data, like "{your company name}".
The keyword "{your company name}" is everywhere in your data. Since AskX relies on Search for one its steps, using this keyword might add a lot of noise.


Add instructions after ?

You can specify instructions in AskX on how you want the answer to be displayed.
But as a shortcut you can simply write these instructions after the ? mark:
"What is Slite? generate a blog article about it."
