In any collaboration, effective communication is key to driving success. The same holds true when working with your general AI agent, Ninja AI.

An all-in-one agentic AI assistant, Ninja is designed to excel across a broad range of tasks. With a team of 15+ specialized agents, it covers everything from writing and coding to file analysis, Deep Research, image and video generation, scheduling, and more.

But just like leading a high-performing team, maximizing results lies in leveraging strengths and providing direction.

So, how can you unlock Ninja’s full potential? Here are best practices for AI writing prompts, used by over 500k+ members to tackle tasks of all complexities.

‍

1. Identify Your Goal

Before you start writing a prompt, define the outcome you’re aiming for. Are you looking for data to support a report, materials for a campaign, or solutions to a technical problem? The more precisely you express your intent, the more effectively Ninja can achieve your goal.

One powerful tool to help you achieve this is Agent Shortcuts. These allow you to direct Ninja to respond using a specific agent, ensuring you get more precise answers. For instance:

  • /researcher for gathering insights from the internet and files, including video and audio.
  • /writer for help with written content like blog posts, email campaigns, or social media.
  • /image to generate or edit images.
  • /coder for technical programming questions or tasks.

2. Be Specific in Your Prompts

The way you frame your AI writing prompts directly impacts the quality of the response. A common mistake is making them vague or asking questions like, “Can you analyze this file?” or “Can you search the internet?”

Instead, be direct and give specific instructions: “Analyze this file” or “Search the internet for the best pizza places in San Francisco.” This reduces misinterpretation, allowing Ninja to provide more accurate answers.

3. Iterate to Optimize Results

Ninja delivers high-quality results right from the first interaction, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enhance them. As you review the responses, you might want to adjust the tone, style, or structure, or even shorten or expand the length. Be open to refining your prompt, asking follow-up questions, or offering feedback. For example:

  • “Explain this in simpler terms for a non-technical audience.”
  • “Can you provide a list of case studies?”
  • “Make the tone professional and empathetic.”

If you're looking to explore different angles, Compare Mode lets you ask two models the same question and view their responses side-by-side. Ultra and Business members can choose from our proprietary, internally trained models and 25+ premium, external AI models for more diverse insights.

4. Start Fresh for Every New Topic

Each conversation with Ninja holds its own memory, meaning the system retains context about your conversation within that chat. This is especially useful when you're iterating on conducting Deep Research on a competitor, drafting and refining a blog post, or analyzing and summarizing large files.

But if you switch to something unrelated—like ideating new products or features or planning email marketing campaigns—Ninja may draw on context from your earlier conversations to deliver a more comprehensive response. By starting a new chat for new topics, you’ll ensure Ninja stays focused on your current needs and provides the most relevant answers.
