Tips for effective prompts

  • Be specific — name the brands, categories, and time periods you care about.
  • Use category and keyword filters — narrowing by product type or keyword gives more relevant results.
  • Request formats — ask for tables, bullet points, or summaries to get structured output.
  • Chain questions — start broad ("top companies in sneakers") then follow up with specifics ("show me their best-selling products").
