Copilot has a new feature that I love.

It's called Notebook and it's completely free.

This allows you to test your prompts for GPT-4.

Here's exactly what it's used for and how to use it:

1. Access Notebook

- Go to copilot .microsoft .com

- Select the mode you want (I recommend "Creative")

- In the top menu, click on "Notebook".

Important notes:

1. The mode you select seems to influence the mode used by Notebook. Select Creative or Precise for GPT-4.

2. You have a limit of 18,000 characters, unlike chat, which has a limit of 4,000.

2. Write your prompt

- Test your 1st prompt on the left.

- Send it to see the result with GPT-4 on the right.

Notebook makes it easy to test your prompts without having to create a new conversation each time!

3. Fine-tune your prompt

- Make changes to your prompt

- And send the new version for comparison

This is a huge time-saver, rather than starting from scratch every time in a chat.

Bonus: export

As with Copilot's chat function, you can export the result.

Click on the arrow to download in Word, PDF or Text format.

Having an interface to test and fine-tune your prompts is great:

You don't have to waste time creating a new conversation when you want to create the perfect prompt!

Anthropic has released a full guide to building AI Agents

There's both a YT video and a detailed blog post with all the necessary tips.

Everything you need to know below

(And links to resources)

1. Understand the difference between workflows and agents

- Clearly distinguish between predefined workflows and autonomous agents.

- Choose the appropriate approach based on the complexity and variability of the task.

2. Design effective agent prompts

- Agent prompts should be open-ended and provide the LLM with access to tools.

- Provide clear instructions and descriptions of available tools.

→ Use Prompt chaining to decompose a task into a sequence of steps.

You can automate your Excel data processing by using it for free.

Open Copilot (copilot .microsoft .com) and click on the Think Deeper icon in the text field.

You're an expert in data processing and writing Excel macros. Using the sample data below from an xlsx file, write a macro that sorts the rows in descending “Profit” order and calculates the average of the “Sales”, “Gross Sales” and “Profit” columns.
