Clarify with AI : how to add hidden context?

Hi
I’m trying to use ‘clarify with AI’ to ensure answers to my open ended question are specific enough.
However, results are under expectations.

Here is my use case : I would like to ask parents which languages are spoken at home. I need them to give specific answers like “moroccan arabic” not just arabic.

I tried several wordings for the question (given examples of ouputs) but follow-up questions generated by AI do not correspond to my needs. They focus on HOW the parent uses languages with their child at home, and not WHICH specific languages are spoken. 

I’m wondering if there is another way to add context to the prompt (like hidden context, invisible to respondants).

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Marion

Hi ​@marion 1001mots this is really interesting, I’ve passed it onto our Product team to check out your use case. At the moment, we don’t have the functionality to steer the AI to ask which language vs how, but I’m checking to see if that’s something that would be possible in the future.

In the meantime, I’d recommend being really clear in your question that you need specific language, and maybe give some examples so that people understand the level of detail you’re looking for? It might be easier to use a simple short answer question for this vs Clarify with AI.

      Hi ​@marion 1001mots just to follow up, the Product team have said they’re considering custom follow up instructions, but it likely won’t be this year that they get to it as there are a few other new features in development that are being worked on first. 

      Let us know how you get on, or if you have any other questions or feedback 😊
