Quickstart

If you want your first Alfrada session to feel sharp instead of generic, use this sequence.

1. Frame The Job

State four things:

• the goal
• the input material you have
• the tools or data sources you want used
• the exact output you want back

Quickstart prompt pattern

I need help with [job to be done]. Use [files, data sources, or tools] and produce [exact output]. Prioritize [quality bar, tone, audience, constraints]. If anything is missing, ask me only the highest-leverage follow-up questions.

This keeps the agent outcome-oriented while still giving it room to ask for missing context when needed.

2. Add Context Early

• Upload files before asking for analysis.
• Connect external accounts before asking for workflow automation.
• Mention the audience for the work product.
• Say whether you want speed, depth, or a draft for review.

3. Use The Right Mode

• Use regular agent mode for most focused tasks.
• Use Swarm when the task benefits from parallel roles, review loops, or decomposition into sub-problems.

4. Watch The Work Panel

The work panel is where useful artifacts surface:

• To-dos for plan tracking
• Uploads for session inputs
• Generated Files for outputs
• Presentations for decks
• Live for real-time activity

5. Save Repeatable Patterns

When you get a workflow right:

• turn the prompt into a playbook
• keep example outputs
• add a demo video later if the workflow is important to your team

Recommended First Jobs

1. Ask for a market brief with sources.
2. Upload a CSV and ask for a cleaning plan plus cleaned output.
