📖 Articles of the Week

Here are some of the cool articles related to AI we found last week:

• What Exactly is an AI Agent? AI agents are supposed to be the next big thing in AI, but there isn’t an exact definition of what they are. At its simplest, an AI agent is best described as AI-fueled software that does a series of jobs for you that a human customer service agent, HR person, or IT help desk employee might have done in the past. Yet it is complicated by a lack of clarity, even among tech giants.
• Google DeepMind’s AI Vision with Demis Hassabis Google invented a lot of core AI technology, and now the company’s turning to Demis Hassabis to get back in front of the AI race for AI breakthroughs. Demis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, discusses the merger of Google Brain and DeepMind and the future direction of AI efforts at Google.

💡 Weekly Creative AI Challenge

Claude Artifacts Challenge

This week, we’re diving into the world of Claude Artifacts! Use Artifacts to create substantial, standalone content that you can easily modify, build upon, or reference later. This challenge will help you streamline your creative process and enhance your projects with AI-generated content.

What are Artifacts?

Artifacts allow Claude to share significant pieces of content in a dedicated window separate from the main conversation. This feature is perfect for handling larger, self-contained pieces of content that you might want to edit, iterate on, or reuse.

When does Claude use Artifacts?

• For content that is significant and self-contained (typically over 15 lines)
• When the content is something you’re likely to edit or reuse outside the conversation
• For complex pieces of content that stand on their own
• For content you’re likely to refer back to or use later

Examples of Artifact content:

• Documents (Markdown or Plain Text)
• Code snippets
• Websites (single page HTML)
• Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) images
• Diagrams and flowcharts
• Interactive React components

How to Use Artifacts

When Claude creates an Artifact, you’ll see the content displayed in a dedicated window to the right of the main chat. This makes it easy to view, copy, and work with the content. You can ask Claude to edit or iterate on the content, and these updates will be displayed directly in the Artifact window. You can also view multiple Artifacts in one conversation and switch between versions using the version selector.

Interacting with Artifacts:

• Edit and iterate: Ask Claude to make changes, and see updates in the Artifact window.
• Version control: Switch between versions of the Artifact content.
• Multiple Artifacts: Open and view multiple Artifacts in one conversation.
• Code view and download: View underlying code, copy content, or download files.

Challenge: Illustrate Concepts Quickly

Use Claude Artifacts to illustrate complex concepts fast and efficiently. Follow these steps:

1. Choose a Complex Concept: Pick a topic or idea that is detailed and multifaceted.
2. Create an Artifact: Ask Claude to generate an Artifact that explains or visualizes the concept. This could be a detailed document, a diagram, or a flowchart.
3. Iterate and Refine: Ask Claude to make specific edits or iterations to improve clarity and detail.
4. Utilize the Artifact: Use the finalized Artifact in your project. You can copy, download, or share it as needed.

Example:

• Concept: How blockchain technology works.
• Artifact Request: “Claude, create a flowchart explaining the process of how blockchain transactions are validated.”
• Refinement: “Claude, add more detail to the section explaining consensus algorithms.”
• Utilization: Use the flowchart in your presentation or article about blockchain.

Submission Guidelines:

Goal: Use Claude Artifacts to create clear and detailed content that illustrates a complex concept. How to Submit: Send your Artifact and a brief description of how you used it to illustrate your chosen concept to contact@creatorscopilot.co with the subject line [Weekly Creative AI Challenge] by July 3rd for a chance to be featured.

Embrace the power of Claude Artifacts to streamline your creative process and enhance your projects with AI-generated content. Happy creating!

✍🏻 Prompt of the Week

Chain of Thought Prompting

When faced with complex tasks like research, analysis, or problem-solving, giving Claude space to think can dramatically improve its performance. This technique, known as chain of thought (CoT) prompting, encourages Claude to break down problems step-by-step, leading to more accurate and nuanced outputs. This also applies to other LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Before Implementing CoT

Why let Claude think?

• Accuracy: Reduces errors in complex tasks.
• Coherence: Leads to more cohesive responses.
• Debugging: Helps pinpoint unclear prompts.

Why not let Claude think?

• Latency: Increased output length may impact speed.
• Appropriate Use: Not all tasks require in-depth thinking. Use CoT for complex math, multi-step analysis, intricate documents, or decisions with many factors.

How to Prompt for Thinking

Basic Prompt: Include “Think step-by-step” in your prompt.

• Example: “Draft personalized emails to donors. Think step-by-step before you write the email.”

Guided Prompt: Outline specific steps for Claude to follow.

• Example: “Draft personalized emails to donors. First, think through what messaging might appeal to this donor given their donation history. Then, consider what aspects of the program would appeal to them. Finally, write the email using your analysis.”

Structured Prompt: Use XML tags like <thinking> and <answer> to separate reasoning from the final answer.

Example: Draft personalized emails to donors asking for contributions. Program information: <program>{{PROGRAM_DETAILS}}</program> Donor information: <donor>{{DONOR_DETAILS}}</donor> Think step-by-step in <thinking> tags and write the email in <email> tags.

Examples

Without CoT

• Prompt: You’re a financial advisor. A client wants to invest $10,000. They can choose between a volatile stock (12% return) or a guaranteed bond (6% return). Which do you recommend?
• Response: Recommends the bond for its certainty without detailed analysis.

With CoT

• Prompt: You’re a financial advisor. A client wants to invest $10,000. They can choose between a volatile stock (12% return) or a guaranteed bond (6% return). Think step-by-step.

Response: <thinking>1. Analyze goals and timeline. 2. Compare potential returns and risks. 3. Consider client’s risk tolerance. 4. Evaluate historical performance. </thinking> <answer> Recommend the bond for its guaranteed return and lower risk, ensuring funds for a house down payment in 5 years. </answer>
