To get the best results, it's helpful to know how to "talk" to Sidekick. This guide will show you how to ask questions and get the answers you need when using AI.
1. Ask specific, and complete questions
When you're talking to AI Sidekick, be specific and include relevant context to get the best answer possible. AI cannot think critically and is very literal, so it’s important to ask specific questions and use complete sentences.
Prompting Guide
AI Prompting: Do & Don’t for better answers
🙂 What to Do
Best practices for writing AI prompts with example and rationale.
Best Practice
Be specific. Think about what you really want to know and get straight to the point.
Give the AI as much detail as you can.
Good Example
How do I create a new lead in Salesforce Lightning, and what are the required fields I need to fill out?
Why it works
This question is specific. It tells the AI exactly what you're working on (Salesforce Lightning) and what you
need to know (how to create a lead and which fields are required).
😡 What Not to Do
Common mistakes in AI prompts with example and rationale.
Avoid
Don't be vague. If your question is too general, or an incomplete sentence, the AI won't know what you're
looking for and might give you an answer that isn't helpful.
Bad Example
How do I use Salesforce?
Why it fails
This question is too broad. Salesforce is a huge platform, and the AI can't possibly know if you need to know
about sales, marketing, reports, or something else entirely. It will probably give you a very general and
unhelpful response.
2. Provide Context
AI can’t read your mind, it only knows what you tell it. Context is everything. The more details you share about the role you’re selling to, the product you’re positioning, and the competitor in play, the better the AI can deliver messaging that lands.
Prompting Guide
Provide Context for Role-Specific, Differentiated Messaging
🙂 What to Do
Best practices for providing context to an AI with example and rationale.
Best Practice
Provide full context. The AI doesn't know what you're working on unless you tell it.
Think of context like a roadmap—it helps the AI understand where you are and what you're trying to do.
Include who you're addressing, what you're offering, and who you're competing against.
Good Example
I’m prepping an email to a VP of Sales at a SaaS company. I’m positioning our enablement platform against Highspot and I need messaging that highlights our buyer engagement features.
Why it works
You’ve given the AI the full picture: who you’re selling to (VP of Sales), what you’re selling (enablement platform),
and who you’re competing against (Highspot). With that roadmap, the AI can generate sharp, role-specific messaging
that addresses your buyer’s priorities and differentiates you from the competition.
😡 What Not to Do
Common context mistakes with example and rationale.
Avoid
Don’t assume the AI knows your situation. If you leave out key details, the AI will have to guess—and its guess
will likely be wrong.
Bad Example
Draft me an email
Why it fails
This is too vague. The AI has no idea who you’re talking to, what you’re selling, or who you’re up against.
The result will be broad, surface-level messaging that won’t stand out in a real sales conversation.
3. Treat it Like a Dialogue
Think of your interaction with Spekit Sidekick as a conversation. The first answer might not be perfect, but that doesn't mean the AI is failing. It just means you need to refine your question and ask in a different way (similar to a real-life conversation!).
Prompting Guide
Refine with Follow-ups to Steer Better Answers
🙂 What to Do
How to use follow-up questions to refine AI responses.
Best Practice
Review and refine. If the first answer isn't what you expected, ask a follow-up
to clarify context or constraints. This helps you steer the AI toward a better response.
Scenario
You asked…
How do I submit an expense report?
The AI returned a long list of steps for a program you don’t use.
Follow-up Question
Thanks, but I'm using Expensify for expense reporting. Can you give me the steps for that instead?
Why it works
You’ve now given the AI the specific program you need help with, guiding it to a more useful answer.
😡 What Not to Do
Common mistakes when a first answer misses the mark.
Avoid
Don’t give up after the first try. A weak first answer isn’t a dead end—it’s an opportunity to clarify your
request and get a better result.
Limitations
Right now, Sidekick AI can only answer questions based on the content that lives in Spekit. If you see the message “I can’t find the answer to that question”, it usually means that content doesn’t exist yet in Spekit. In that case:
Let your manager or enablement team know so they can fill the gap.
Or trust that they’ll review analytics and update the content strategy to make sure those answers get added over time.
Final Thoughts
The key to using Spekit Sidekick effectively is to be clear and specific. By giving the AI clear instructions and providing context, you can ensure the AI understands you and gives you the help you need.
