Sofía just joined Celtara's workspace: what should I ask the AI? Whatever you need to know from your documents. But there's a trick: ask well.

0:12A good question

A good question has three things. It's specific: it names the supplier, the figure, the date. It gives context: who you are and what you need it for. And it asks for the format: bullets, a table or a paragraph.

0:30Asking

Start with a specific question: what penalty do we charge Ferrolumina if it delivers late? BrainBox reads the documents in the Box and writes. The answer has exact figures, and every sentence its citation: hover over it and you see where it comes from. One click, and you're on the page of the contract.

0:52Recap

To recap: ask specifically, with names, figures and dates, give context and ask for the format, and verify with each sentence's citation. Welcome aboard, Sofía. Remember: better question, better answer.
