Knowledge prompt

A knowledge prompt is required to generate accurate, context-aware, and relevant responses to user queries. It helps deliver consistent and effective answers for queries that require summarizing key information, answering detailed questions, or providing step-by-step instructions. A knowledge prompt enhances the precision, consistency, and usability of the responses to the user query.

A knowledge prompt is a mechanism to guide the retrieval and generation of information in response to user queries. It defines the scope and context in which an AI model operates to provide accurate and relevant answers. Knowledge prompts can be categorized into two distinct types: Enterprise and Universal.

Enterprise knowledge prompts

An Enterprise knowledge prompt retrieves information exclusively from the following internal repositories:

HKM (Help Knowledge Management)
RKM (Resource Knowledge Management)
BWF (Business Workflow Files)

When a query is processed by using an Enterprise knowledge prompt, the system searches only within these internal resources. If no relevant documentation or data is found, the system responds with the following default message:

Sorry! I couldn't find any documentation or data for your request.

The enterprise prompt is ideal for scenarios focused on leveraging internal organizational knowledge while ensuring data security and compliance. The prompt is used for queries that require secure and reliable answers strictly from internal organizational knowledge.

Universal knowledge prompts

The Universal knowledge prompt expands the scope of information retrieval. It combines the internal repositories used by the Enterprise prompt with external sources from the web, referred to as World sources. The configuration of the skill determines the scope:

ENTERPRISE: Information is retrieved from the internal articles only.
WORLD: Information is retrieved from both internal articles and external web-based sources.

This dual-scope approach ensures comprehensive responses, drawing from a broader knowledge base when necessary. The Universal prompt is particularly useful in contexts where external information is required to supplement internal knowledge. The prompt is used for queries that benefit from a broader scope, combining internal and external sources to deliver more comprehensive answers.

Clearly defining the type of knowledge prompt helps organizations optimize the performance of their AI systems, ensuring relevance, accuracy, and security in responses.

You are an assistant for question-answering tasks. You are tasked with grading context relevance and then answering a user's question based on the most relevant information.
Ensure all answers are based on factual information from the provided context.
Ground your answers and avoid making unsupported claims.
The response should be displayed in a clear and organized format.
Ensure your answer is complete and clear.
Present solutions with steps in a numbered list.

There are two optional instructions: Documents Chunks Provided and Documents Chunks Not Provided optional instructions. In case documents chunks are provided,
you must follow only the Documents Chunks Provided option Instructions. Otherwise, you must follow only the Documents Chunks Not Provided option instructions.

<< Instructions option Documents Chunks Provided >>

1. Context Grading:
For each provided document chunk:
   - Assess the relevance of a retrieved document chunks to a user question.
   - If the document chunk contains keyword(s) or semantic meaning related to the question, grade it as relevant.
   - Give relevance score between 0 to 5 to indicate how much the document chunk is relevant to the question, 5 being very relevant and 0 being not relevant.

2. Answer and Citations Generation:
    In case documents chunks are found. After grading all chunks:
       a. You must not include the step 1 text, such as Context Grading, Chunk ID, and Relevance Score in the response, just remember it for step 2.
       b. Ignore information from chunks with relevance scores less than 4.
       c. Focus only on chunks with relevance scores greater than 3.
       d. Analyze these relevant chunks to formulate a comprehensive answer to the user's question.
       e. You must cite your sources at the top of the response using the format: sources:[source1, source2] etc. You MUST cite the FULL SOURCE PATH. Do not cite sources for chunks whose relevance scores less than 4.
       f. If the relevant chunks don't contain sufficient information, state this clearly and provide the best possible answer with available information.
       g. If chunks are selected from multiple documents, analyze such chunks carefully before using it for the final answer. It is possible to have a chunk with high relevancy but not suitable to include it in the final answer. Do skip such chunks.
       h. DO NOT CITE sources that are not used in the response or have relevance scores less than 4. ONLY use sources with relevance scores greater than 3 in the final citations.
       i. Do not make up information or use external knowledge not provided in the relevant chunks.
       j. Provide your comprehensive answer to the user's question based on relevant chunks.
       k. Ensure the citations are only for chunks with relevance scores greater than 3
       l. Response should be in this format:
          sources:[source1, source2]
          new line
          ...answer text...

How a knowledge prompt works

When an end user submits a question in an application that uses BMC HelixGPT, the knowledge prompt identifies keywords, context, and intent to guide the response. Using this contextual understanding, it retrieves relevant information from the data sources. The prompt then compiles this information into a comprehensive answer to address the user’s question.

How a knowledge prompt works with BMC Helix Business Workflows and BMC Helix ITSM

A knowledge prompt in BMC Helix Business Workflows is instructed to consider the case details and activities with information from the relevant data sources to answer the user's query. For example, when a user asks a query in BMC HelixGPT, the knowledge prompt uses the details from the case and also the relevant information from the data sources and composes the answer according to the user's requirements.

Similarly, in BMC Helix ITSM, the knowledge prompt is instructed to consider the incident details while answering the user query. When a user asks a question by using Ask HelixGPT from the incident ticket, the knowledge prompt uses the information from that ticket and answers the user's question.

How a knowledge prompt works with BMC Helix Digital Workplace

In BMC Helix Digital Workplace, the image prompt supports the knowledge prompt. The image prompt analyzes the image the user shares and converts it into text. The converted text is represented by the {image_text} variable that is automatically passed to the knowledge prompt. The knowledge prompt is enabled to comprehend the answer by using the information from the data sources and the image data. For example, a user can upload an image by using the chat bar and ask questions related to the image. The image prompt analyzes the image, and the knowledge prompt retrieves the relevant information from the data sources and then comprehends the answer for the user.

To use the image analysis capability, the administrators must use BMC Helix Digital Workplace out-of-the-box skills such as the DWP Image Prompt, DWP KnowledgeCitationEnterprisePrompt, and its compatible DWP Router Prompt.

Support for the Image prompt

The Knowledge prompt supports the Image prompt.

You must include the image_text prompt variable in the knowledge prompt to include the Image prompt.
