Tips & Best Practices

1. Use different models for different jobs: GPT for creative drafting, Claude for careful reasoning, Gemini for web search
2. Chain prompts across models: planner model for step-by-step plan, worker models for execution, reviewer model for critique
3. Use multibot chat to A/B test same prompt across several models then have judge bot compare and merge best parts
4. Build custom bots with narrow roles, style prompts, guardrails, and canonical output templates for consistency
5. Use Custom Knowledge to ground bots in your docs and policies instead of stuffing context into each prompt
6. Reserve frontier models for high-stakes reasoning; use cheaper models for summarization and first-pass drafts
7. Design workflows where expensive models plan, review, and orchestrate while cheaper models do bulk generation
