Hello, everyone! This is “Doubao,” an AI application that aims to be an all-around assistant.
Speaking of AI assistants, many of you have probably started using “Doubao” in various aspects of your life, such as learning English, creating travel itineraries, analyzing documents, and writing work reports. However, some friends have privately messaged us, reflecting on why others’ “Doubao” can work for them, while their own “Doubao” seems a bit “dull”?
When asking “Doubao” questions, we sometimes find that the answers given are far from our expectations. This is mainly because we haven’t paid attention to the way we ask questions.
For example, if we ask “Doubao” if it has any learning resources to recommend, this is quite a vague question.
“Doubao” cannot determine your identity, is unclear about your learning goals, and does not know which area of knowledge you want to learn, so it recommends several common resources.
However, those who understand how to ask questions can accurately express their needs, allowing “Doubao” to provide results that better match your expectations.
Look, if we clarify our identity, present our plans and needs, and focus on the core aspects of our questions, the answers “Doubao” provides can be very precise.
Now, let’s highlight the key points: First, when asking questions, we need to establish an “identity” for ourselves, essentially giving “Doubao” a self-introduction.
Second, set the scene when asking questions, as the suggestions obtained can vary under different environmental influences.
Finally, and most importantly, determine your needs and the timeline for these needs.
Does it sound a bit complicated? Don’t worry! Mastering these three tips will turn “Doubao” into your super assistant! Now, open the “Doubao” app and let’s practice together!
Searching is one of the most common scenarios when we surf the internet. If you want to know something, just open a search engine and input your question to find the desired results.
One of the best features of “Doubao” is its AI search. Compared to traditional searches, its advantages include no ads, precise search results, and extended reading and source tracing, making it a blessing for workers and students. One of the biggest features of “Doubao” AI search is its ability to process information; simply put, the more detailed your question, the more accurate the answer will be.
How effective is “Doubao” search? Let’s try asking “Doubao” what this year’s Chinese essay topic for the college entrance examination is.
If we simply ask “Doubao” to find this year’s Chinese essay topic, it will gather all six sets of questions. Although we receive a lot of information, it may not be the specific information we want to know. Instead, let’s try to be more precise in our description and see what kind of answer “Doubao” will provide.
When we narrow down our scope to the national A exam, “Doubao” directly presents the relevant content. Isn’t that simple? However, we plan to challenge “Doubao” by asking if it can write an essay based on our requirements.
Did you see that? “Doubao” understands the essay topic and specific requirements based on our previous questions and starts creating an essay as soon as we issue the command without needing to repeat the request. Isn’t that simple?
In addition to searching, “Doubao” is also a thoughtful learning assistant. Let’s see if “Doubao” can teach us French and what suggestions it can provide. This time, we will directly compare the effects of general questioning versus precise questioning:
By clearly stating our needs, time, and objectives, we can naturally receive more practical suggestions from “Doubao”. Just adjust according to your actual situation, such as adding a timetable, to create a personalized study plan. Isn’t it easy to get started?
For more specialized learning modes, we can first have “Doubao” introduce what this learning mode is and then integrate our needs. This way, the learning plan created will be easy to understand. For example, using the spaced repetition method to memorize “Tengwang Pavilion”, we can ask “Doubao” like this:
Most reference books tend to focus on methodology, applying universal formulas to meet individual needs, but not every student has such high comprehension skills. “Doubao” not only introduces methods but also helps us understand how to apply these methods in practice. As long as we learn to use this questioning mode, learning any knowledge becomes a piece of cake.
When we use “Doubao” for work, we can try to let “Doubao” think from our position when asking questions, pre-setting roles such as doctor, teacher, marketing manager, etc. Once “Doubao” learns to play cosplay, it will naturally provide reasonable answers.
Here, I will teach you a universal formula: “Role” + “Task” + “Content Need”.
It sounds complicated, but we can substitute it into a practical example. For instance, let’s first try to have “Doubao” create a work report:
That’s right! This is the correct way to have “Doubao” create a work report. The content is practical, the wording is specific, and it encourages divergent thinking relevant to the industry. With such a work report, even the boss will praise my work.
Besides work reports, we can also try to have “Doubao” create a training plan. Of course, we still use the method mentioned earlier, enriching the details as much as possible when asking questions. And don’t forget to let “Doubao” play your role:
How’s that? As long as you let “Doubao” embody your position, it can think from your perspective and formulate plans, essentially telling a capable friend to help you strategize.
By the way, “Doubao” has real-time call functionality. When job hunting, we can also have “Doubao” play the interviewer for a mock interview, so we won’t be nervous when facing a real interview.
Just click the small phone icon in the chat box to enter the real-time call interface with “Doubao”. Friends who are looking for jobs should learn this trick too.
“Doubao” consistently ranks high on the App Store efficiency list because it not only helps us improve efficiency in learning and work but also offers more suggestions for our daily lives. For example, we can have Doubao create travel itineraries, workout plans, etc.
We tried using “Doubao” to create a 3-day, 2-night travel plan to see if it could meet our expectations:
With the time, location, needs, and budget clearly defined, “Doubao” provided a very detailed plan, even recommending some well-known local accommodations and cuisine. Now we can just set off without needing to check guides.
“Doubao” can also create training plans for fitness and weight loss, but when asking questions, it’s best to clarify your needs first to get more accurate answers.
Not only does it provide weight loss meal plans, but it also offers training schedules that are even more detailed than many professional trainers.
By the way, if you’re unsure about the calories of the food you’re consuming, you can always ask “Doubao”:
At this point, some might ask, what if I still can’t ensure my caloric intake? Then let’s try cooking ourselves! Have “Doubao” tell you how to prepare these weight loss meals.
At this point, some might ask: “Doubao, what if I still can’t cook just by reading the recipe?”
No worries! “Doubao” can not only provide written recipes but also search tutorial videos from platforms like Douyin and Xigua Video. Just follow along, and you’ll become a five-star chef!
Although this recipe may not look very appetizing, “Doubao” has carefully displayed the entire recipe and provided many different options, so you won’t get bored by changing it up daily.
In modern society, the pace is fast, and internet culture is constantly updating. We workers and students can easily miss out on trending memes and not get the latest scoop. More importantly, with so many social platforms, each has its own trending memes, and keeping up with the times is not easy.
Fortunately, we can try letting “Doubao” help us “surf the web” by summarizing the current trending memes. How wonderful!
Look, this trending meme from “Singer 2024” not only explains the origin of the meme but also objectively evaluates its impact on society. Now, with “Doubao” searching for trending memes online, you can be the first to surf the web without wasting time. It’s incredibly useful!
Earlier, we applied some tips to our questioning, and “Doubao”‘s capabilities have significantly improved. To summarize, there are three key considerations:
In the process of using “Doubao,” our main concern is the completeness and efficiency of the answers. This requires us to provide as much information as possible using the three tips mentioned above. This way, efficiency will skyrocket! Additionally, we can adjust the plans provided by “Doubao” according to our actual situation to make the entire plan more aligned with our needs.
Alright, that’s it for today’s tips on using “Doubao”! We also welcome everyone to share your experiences! See you next time.
