In this section, we are reviewing ways to use GenAI prompting to get the best out of the Pricefx chatbot. While many of these are optimized for AI, please note that the principles discussed apply even to Pricefx GenAI.
GenAI builds on previous information (think of it like a dialogue). The moment you are changing the topic of conversation, you may get an error message. Simply refresh your browser tab and continue with your query.
There's very little chance that the first time you put your AI prompt in, it'll generate exactly what you're looking for. You need to write, test, refine, test, and so on until you consistently get a response outcome that meets your requirements. We recommend testing your prompt in the OpenAI playground (for general AI) or for Pricefx specific prompts use the Pricefx GenAI.
This section also has a few recommendations for the Pricefx GenAI design and troubleshooting, which can be foundhere.
Improving Prompts
Add Context
Just like humans, AI does better with context. Think about exactly what you want the AI to generate, and provide a prompt that's tailored specifically to that.
Here are a few examples of ways you can improve a prompt by adding more context:
Basic prompt: "create a quote."
Better prompt: "how to create a quote for a product in Quoting module in Pricefx"
Give Examples
Providing examples in the prompt can help the AI understand the type of response you're looking for (and gives it even more context).
For example, if you want the AI to reply to a user's question in a chat-based format, you might include a previous example conversation between the user and the agent. You'll want to end your prompt with "trainer" to indicate where you want the AI to start typing. You can do so by using something like this:
You are a Pricefx trainer for business users/ configuration engineers answering users' questions. Reply as trainer.

CONVERSATION CONTINUING PROMPT: How do I recalculate a price list?
CONVERSATION CONTINUING PROMPT: How do I recalculate a price list?
Sure, I'd be happy to help! To recalculate a price list in Pricefx, follow these steps:
Navigate to Price Setting > Price Lists.
Click the pencil icon next to the price list you want to recalculate.
Click the Recalculate button at the top right corner of the page.
Confirm that you want to recalculate the price list by clicking the Recalculate button in the pop-up prompt.
The recalculation process may take a few moments, depending on the complexity of your price list. Once the recalculation is complete, you'll see the updated prices in the price list.
Note that recalculating a price list will only update the prices for products that have been added or removed since the last recalculation. If you want to update the prices for all products in the price list, you'll need to delete the existing price list and create a new one with the updated prices.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions..
Pricefx GenAI can respond from a designated point of view (for selected task where such roles are applicable). Simply tell Pricefx GenAI the reference material or instructions you want it to consider every time it generates a response, and you're set.

Real-time data and insights: Because dashboards are designed to be interactive, you can drill down into the data and view detailed insights in real-time. This allows you to make informed decisions on the fly, without having to wait for reports to be generated or data to be updated.
Customizable and flexible: Dashboards in Pricefx are highly customizable, allowing you to add or remove data sources, charts, and other elements to fit your specific needs. This flexibility ensures that you're always working with the information that matters most to you.
Collaborative and team-focused: Dashboards in Pricefx can be shared with other users in your organization, allowing for easy collaboration and team-based decision making. This can help to ensure that everyone is working with the same information and that decisions are made in a timely and effective manner.
Overall, dashboards are a powerful tool for managing your business data in Pricefx, providing users with the information and insights they need to make informed decisions quickly and easily.
