Best Practices
1. Start a New Chat When Topics Change
When to start fresh: If your message doesn't relate to your previous messages in the chat, it's best to start a new chat.
Why This Matters
- Saves Credits: New chats don't carry the context of previous conversations, so Toffu uses fewer resources processing your request
- Faster Response Time: Without the overhead of processing previous context, Toffu can respond more quickly
- Better Accuracy: Starting fresh prevents confusion from unrelated previous conversations
Examples of When to Start a New Chat
Start a new chat when:
- Switching from social media strategy to email marketing
- Moving from competitor analysis to content creation
- Changing from one client/company to another
- Starting a completely different workflow or task
Continue the same chat when:
- Building on previous analysis in the same conversation
- Asking follow-up questions about the current topic
- Iterating on content or strategies from the same session
- Adding details to the current workflow
Quick Tip
Think of each chat as a focused work session. Keep related tasks together, but don't hesitate to start fresh when switching gears.
2. Remind Toffu About Its Capabilities
The Problem: Sometimes Toffu may forget about certain tools it has at its disposal or claim it can't do something you've seen it do before.
How to Handle This
If Toffu suddenly says it can't do something that you know it can clearly do, remind it about its capabilities.
What to Do
- Be Direct: Tell Toffu clearly what it can do
- Be Specific: Use exact language about the task
- Be Persistent: If it insists it can't, repeat the task clearly
Examples
If Toffu says it can't publish to LinkedIn:
"You can publish to LinkedIn"
If Toffu says it can't access Google Analytics:
"You can access Google Analytics data"
If Toffu says it can't create scheduled tasks:
"You can create scheduled tasks"
Why This Happens
- Large language models can sometimes "forget" their capabilities
- Context switching can cause temporary confusion about available tools
- Complex workflows might make Toffu conservative about what it claims to do
