3
Few-Shot PromptingProvides context, details, and/or examples to enrich the AI’s understanding of the task.Generating engaging SMS reminders for Telkomsel customers with specific messaging styles.May have difficulty handling tasks that require deep logical steps and reasoning.Here are examples of engaging SMS reminders: [example 1, example 2]. Now, write a similar reminder for customers whose credit will expire in 3 days.'Helps AI understand patterns and context, making it great for structured outputs.
4
Chain of Draft PromptingGenerates minimal yet informative intermediate steps to ensure concise reasoning.Drafting and refining promotional emails for Telkomsel’s new 5G service package.May not be suitable for highly intricate reasoning that requires extensive elaboration.First, create a rough draft of a promotional email for Telkomsel’s 5G package. Then refine it for better engagement and optimize the call-to-action.'Efficient and cost-effective; reduces token usage but may oversimplify reasoning.
5
Chain of Thought (CoT) PromptingGuides AI to break down problems into sequential, logical steps to improve accuracy.Developing a strategy to reduce customer churn by breaking it into logical steps.Complex to set up and not suitable for one-off tasks.Develop a strategy to reduce customer churn for Telkomsel prepaid services. First, identify reasons for churn. Then, suggest targeted retention strategies.'Best for handling complex reasoning tasks that require step-by-step breakdown.
6
Tree of Thoughts (ToT) PromptingExplores multiple reasoning paths instead of a single linear approach.Creating different marketing approaches for Telkomsel’s home internet service and evaluating them.Higher computation cost and slower response time due to multiple reasoning paths.Generate three different approaches to market Telkomsel's home internet service. Compare benefits and drawbacks for each and choose the best approach for urban areas.'Explores multiple solutions, making it ideal for decision-making and brainstorming.
7
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)Enhances AI responses by retrieving and integrating external data sources.Using Telkomsel's customer FAQ database to generate accurate responses to service-related inquiries.Requires reliable external data sources; incorrect retrieval may lead to misinformation.Using Telkomsel's customer FAQs, generate accurate responses to questions like 'How do I change my email access?' and 'How long does verification take?'Improves AI accuracy with external data but depends on the quality of retrieved sources.
8
Zero-Shot Chain of Thought PromptingA variation of CoT where AI is instructed to 'think step by step' without providing examples.Structuring AI’s reasoning for complex tasks such as launching a new Telkomsel loyalty program.AI may still produce errors if logical reasoning steps are not well-structured.Telkomsel is launching a customer loyalty program with exclusive benefits. How can we communicate these benefits effectively? Let’s think step by step.'Quick way to guide AI reasoning without structured setup; works well for medium complexity tasks.
