Tips for using Mobi as an AI Assistant.

Mobi the Parking Unicorn

Be Clear, Specific, and Provide Context

AI works best when it knows exactly what you want. Clearly state what you’re looking for to help Mobi provide the most relevant and accurate information. Talk to Mobi as you would a friend or a colleague.

Instead of: “I need resources,” try: “Can you help me find information on curbside management?”

Ask questions or make requests as if you were speaking to a person. Specific prompts reduce guesswork and give you more relevant, useful answers.

Offering background information helps Mobi better understand your question and provide more relevant answers. The more details the better! Let Mobi know why you are seeking your answer. What is your end goal, what do you hope to accomplish? Clear understand of your motives will help Mobi provide the most helpful response.

Iterate and Refine

Don’t expect perfection in one try. Instead, treat your interaction with Mobi like it is a two-way conversation.

  • Ask follow-ups
  • Request changes (“simplify this,” “add examples,” “make it more formal”)
  • Narrow or expand scope

The best results often come after two to three iterations, not the first response.
