Note: If you're using the previous version, Destiny AI: Data Assistant (which appears on the Dashboard), see Getting the best responses to your inquiries for Destiny AI: Data Assistant. |
As a starting point, you can use the pre-built prompts, and then customize them to meet your needs.
Prompt your assistant for detailed insights into catalog and circulation data, such as circulation statistics for fiction vs nonfiction.
Use your assistant for job-related tasks, such as generating ideas and title recommendations for a book display.
Also, you can ask how to do something in Destiny, such as how to email overdue notices, and get responses that are sourced from the Destiny Help Center.
