2. Principles of Effective Delegation to Macaron AI

Before we dive into the 30 actionable prompts, it's important to understand how to delegate tasks effectively to your AI assistant. Treating AI as a team member requires clear communication and providing context to get the most relevant results.

2.1 Be Clear and Specific with Tasks

To ensure that Macaron delivers exactly what you need, provide specific instructions in your prompts. For example:

• Instead of “Find a flight,” say “Find a flight from New York (JFK) to London (LHR) for March 10th, returning March 15th, afternoon departure.”
• The more specific you are, the better the output you’ll get, minimizing back-and-forth clarifications.

2.2 Provide Context When Needed

Macaron AI learns from the context you give. For example, when scheduling a meeting:

• Incorrect Prompt: "Book a meeting with Jim."
• Corrected Prompt: "Book a meeting with Jim, my project manager, for next week to discuss the Q3 report."
• Providing this context allows Macaron to understand your preferences and ensure it acts in line with your past interactions.

2.3 Define Output or Format

If you need the information in a specific format, tell Macaron. For example, asking:

• "Give me a list of 5 healthy meal ideas in bullet points with ingredients and prep times"
• Macaron will structure the response in a clear, useful format to save you time.

2.4 Use Step-by-Step Instructions for Complex Tasks

For complex requests, break them down into smaller tasks:

• Example: “Help me research venues for a team offsite. Step 1: List venue requirements. Step 2: Find top 5 venues. Step 3: Give me a pros/cons table for each.”
• By using step-by-step instructions, Macaron can work through the task efficiently, ensuring every detail is addressed before moving on to the next step.
