Pas je spraakassistent in real-time aan

Pas uw realtime spraakagent aan door duidelijke instructies, onderwerpbeschrijvingen en beschrijvingen van hulpprogramma's te definiëren die bepalen hoe deze in realtime reageert.

Instructies

Wat zijn instructies?

• Richtlijnen op systeemniveau waarmee wordt aangegeven hoe het AI-model reageert

• Altijd actief tijdens elke gespreksdraai

• Persoonlijkheid, toon, absolute regels en doelen definiëren

Hoewel u instructies in natuurlijke taal kunt schrijven, gebruikt u een gestructureerde indeling zoals JSON voor optimale prestaties. Gestructureerde instructies helpen het model om de intentie beter te parseren, geordende logica te volgen en regels deterministisch toe te passen, met name voor complexe stromen, voorwaardelijk gedrag en terugvalafhandeling. Meer informatie vindt u in Realtime Prompting Guide, Prompt engineering techniques en Voice agent prompt best practices.

De volgende voorbeeldinstructies kunnen u begeleiden bij het schrijven van uw eigen instructies.

Microsoft heeft ook instructiesjablonen ontwikkeld op basis van implementaties van echte klanten.

Effectieve onderwerp- en hulpprogrammabeschrijvingen schrijven

De context van het model bevat onderwerpbeschrijvingen, beschrijvingen van hulpprogramma's en instructies. Onduidelijk eigendom van gegevensverzameling kan dubbele prompts of onverwacht gedrag veroorzaken.

Waarom vraagt het model om ontbrekende gegevens?

Taalmodellen proberen standaard nuttig te zijn door vragen te stellen om vereiste informatie te verzamelen. Voorbeeld:

Gebruiker zegt: "Ik wil ijs bestellen."

Model denkt: "Om een bestelling te voltooien, heb ik smaak, grootte en toppings nodig. Ik zou het moeten vragen.

Model zegt: "Welke smaak wilt u?"

Als u een onderwerp hebt waarbij smaak, grootte en toppings worden verzameld, geeft u dit expliciet aan het model door. Anders weet het model niet dat het onderwerp die informatie verzamelt.

De oplossing: verklaar expliciet eigendom in beschrijvingen.

Beschrijving van ongeldig onderwerp

"Helpt de klant om ijs te bestellen"

Probleem: Het model weet niet wie de details verzamelt.

Beschrijving van goed onderwerp

"Bestelling van ijsje wordt overgedragen aan een deterministische IVR-stroom (interactief telefoonbeantwoordingssysteem). De IVR verzamelt alle ordergegevens, waaronder smaak, grootte en toppings. Het model moet dit onderwerp onmiddellijk aanroepen wanneer de gebruiker wil bestellen en niet om ordergegevens mag vragen."

Belangrijke elementen

1. Geeft aan wat het onderwerp doet (deterministische stroom).

2. Declareert welke gegevens worden verzameld (smaak, grootte, toppings).

3. Geeft het model de opdracht om niet om deze gegevens te vragen.

Voorbeelden van onderwerpbeschrijvingen

Waarom maakt het onderscheid uit?

• Goede beschrijvingen = Beschrijven wat het onderwerp doet (functioneel)

• Slechte beschrijvingen = Beschrijven wat u moet zeggen (conversationeel)

• Onderwerpen verwerken deterministische logica; taalmodel verwerkt gesprekken
