NOAN’s Assistant isn’t your average chatbot or LLM. Unlike ChatGPT, it already knows your business inside out—your facts, your network, your workflows, and your goals. Plus, it can execute tasks, update contacts, and manage notes, all in one place. To get the most out of this powerful tool, you need to approach it differently. Here’s how to set context and get the best one-shot results, every time.

1. Start Fresh: One Conversation, One Task

Open a new conversation for each new task.
NOAN’s Assistant is designed for focused, outcome-driven work. Each time you want to tackle something new—be it a blog post, a contact update, or a task—start a new conversation. This keeps context clear and results sharp.

2. Set the Scene: Be Clear and Direct

State your goal up front.
Begin by telling the Assistant exactly what you want to achieve. For example:
- “I want to draft a blog post about AI in small business.”
- “Update the contact record for Jane Smith in my network.”
- “Create a private note about our Q1 marketing plan.”
List specifics.
If you have requirements, spell them out.
- For content: “Include three tips, a call to action, and a short intro.”
- For network: “Add a memo about our last meeting and tag as ‘Investor’.”

3. Use NOAN’s Language

Mirror the interface.
Use terms like “task,” “private note,” “add memo,” or “update contact.” The Assistant understands NOAN’s structure and can execute these actions directly.

4. Treat the Assistant Like an Employee

Be professional, not conversational.
Imagine you’re giving instructions to a top-performing team member.
- Avoid vague prompts or small talk.
- Give clear, actionable directions: “Insert a new paragraph after the second section,” or “Summarize this email and create a follow-up task.”

5. Respond with Precision

When the Assistant asks for clarification, answer directly.
- “Yes, make the note private.”
- “Change the contact’s company role to ‘Advisor’.”
- “Add the new paragraph before the conclusion.”

6. Edit and Iterate Efficiently

Request changes by location.
If you want to tweak content, specify where:
- “Replace the third bullet point with this new one.”
- “Add a summary at the top.”

7. Don’t Over-Explain

Skip the background.
The Assistant already knows your business context. Focus on what you want done, not why.

Example: One-Shot Blog Post Request

“I want to write a blog post about how AI saves time for small business owners. Include an intro, three actionable tips, and a closing call to action. Make it 600 words. When done, create a task to share it on LinkedIn next week.”
