Free LLM Usage Guide - make Claude, ChatGPT, and Co. smarter with a single file
LLMs are not free of mistakes, and they tend to hallucinate quite often, too. Even so we can't rely on their output 100% of the time, we can make it a little less of a problem by feeding it correct information.
Free, downloadable guide to feed to LLMs
Minimizes hallucinations when trying to fetch information from the internet by providing a list of correct URLs
Adding the Usage Guide to your project with TelemetryDeck will make it easier to access all relevant information. The LLM has access to all relevant URLs for information gathering and doesn't need to rely on it's often faulty web search.
When to use our Usage Guide
So you have added TelemetryDeck as a analytics tool to your project - Great! And you also use an LLM of your choice to support your workflow? Then we have just the perfect solution for you: our LLM Usage Guide.
If you are using an LLM for your project and you rely on it's ability to do web searches, our guide will make results regarding TelemetryDeck way more accurate!
Why you should use our Usage Guide
If you use LLMs occasionally or on a regular basis, you probably have noticed that errors and mistakes are a common issue with LLM answers. They are not as reliable as they need to be, especially if we don't take the time to create so called "agent skills".
Our Usage Guide will help prevent some of the errors that can occur with LLMs - mostly issues regarding web search. Web search is one of the most fickle tasks an LLM can do. Since they are unable to parse JavaScript websites, and sometimes even have issues with plain HTML, too, hallucinations occur mostly when they fail to parse such sites and try to give an answer regardless - resulting in wrong URLs, or even non-existent URLs. Yikes!
How to use TelemetryDeck's Usage Guide
Our Usage Guide is called "TelemetryDeck Documentation Usage Guide", and it's intended to give you all the relevant information that you need to work with TelemetryDeck. We have listed various URLs to make it easier for your LLM to find the right docs, and even other information!
To use the guide, you will need to feed the markdown file to the LLM of your choice. If you created agent skills, you can add the file conveniently to your existing setup. If you don't work with agent skills, you can either rely on your LLMs "memory", or feed the file whenever needed.
We recommend to be distinctive when feeding the file to your LLM, since they tend to ignore input if it's not absolute clear to them that they have to use it. Here's an example you can copy:
For the project [Your project name or path] always read the "telemetrydeck-documentation-usage-guide.md" file and use the information provided there first, before using any other sources.
To add the usage guide to you project, copy the following text and create a markdown (.md) file and name it telemetrydeck-documentation-usage-guide.md.
