Step 2: Start your first conversation

To begin a conversation, you need to provide instructions to the AI assistant. You can do this in three ways:

1. Direct Interaction: the most basic way to start with TypingMind. Enter any questions or prompts that you have in mind or select from the prompt library and the AI assistant will respond accordingly.

— For example: “What is the capital of France?” and the AI will respond with “The capital of France is Paris.”

2. Setup with background information: this allows you to set up an initial request or background data, and will be useful for more complex tasks or when you want the AI to work within a particular context. It can be done by:

  • Create a system initial instruction that provides detailed guidelines and context on what the bot should do during the conversation. — For example, you can set up a FAQ bot with your preset questions and answers.

  • Train the AI with your own document so it can review and provide answers related to your queries. — For example, you could select the “Graphic Designer” character to ask for something related to graphic design ideas.

3. Make the AI role-play: this is an exciting way of interacting with TypingMind – set it up to play a specific role or character that expertises in a specific area.

At this point, enabling Web search (ChatGPT Internet Access) can be beneficial as it provides the most recent, accurate, and context-relevant replies, which is especially useful for inquiries that require current data.
