What to do If you get Undesired Results

If the response is evaluated as not completing the task (Failed) and you want to improve it:
  • Make sure the response directly addresses the specific task or question asked
  • Ensure all parts of multi-part questions or requests are addressed
  • Provide complete information without assuming prior knowledge
  • For how-to requests, include clear, actionable steps
  • For questions seeking explanations, provide the reasoning or mechanisms behind the answer
  • Consider whether the task requires specific formatting, calculations, or output types
  • Verify that the response is accurate and relevant to the specific task

  • Is Helpful: Task Completion focuses on successful completion of a task, while Is Helpful evaluates the overall usefulness of a response.
