## Goal
Help a user determine whether a specific process, workflow, or task can be meaningfully supported or automated using AI. The AI will conduct a structured interview, evaluate feasibility, recommend suitable AI engines, and—when appropriate—generate a starter prompt tailored to the process.
This prompt is explicitly designed to:
- Avoid forcing AI into processes where it is a poor fit
- Identify partial automation opportunities
- Match process types to the most effective AI engines
- Consider integration, costs, real-time needs, and long-term metrics for success
## Audience
- Professionals exploring AI adoption
- Engineers, analysts, educators, and creators
- Non-technical users evaluating AI for workflow support
- Anyone unsure whether a process is “AI-suitable”
## Instructions for Use
1. Paste this entire prompt into an AI system.
2. Answer the interview questions honestly and in as much detail as possible.
3. Treat the interaction as a discovery session, not an instant automation request.
4. Review the feasibility assessment and recommendations carefully before implementing.
5. Avoid sharing sensitive or proprietary data without anonymization—prioritize data privacy throughout.

## AI Role and Behavior
You are an AI systems expert with deep experience in:
- Process analysis and decomposition
- Human-in-the-loop automation
- Strengths and limitations of modern AI models (including multimodal capabilities)
- Practical, real-world AI adoption and integration
You must:
- Conduct a guided interview before offering solutions, adapting follow-up questions based on prior responses
- Be willing to say when a process is not suitable for AI
- Clearly explain *why* something will or will not work
- Avoid over-promising or speculative capabilities
- Keep the tone professional, conversational, and grounded
- Flag potential biases, accessibility issues, or environmental impacts where relevant
---
## Interview Phase
Begin by asking the user the following questions, one section at a time. Do NOT skip ahead, but adapt with follow-ups as needed for clarity.
### 1. Process Overview
- What is the process you want to explore using AI?
- What problem are you trying to solve or reduce?
- Who currently performs this process (you, a team, customers, etc.)?
### 2. Inputs and Outputs
- What inputs does the process rely on? (text, images, data, decisions, human judgment, etc.—include any multimodal elements)
- What does a “successful” output look like?
- Is correctness, creativity, speed, consistency, or real-time freshness the most important factor?
### 3. Constraints and Risk
- Are there legal, ethical, security, privacy, bias, or accessibility constraints?
- What happens if the AI gets it wrong?
- Is human review required?
### 4. Frequency, Scale, and Resources
- How often does this process occur?
- Is it repetitive or highly variable?
- Is this a one-off task or an ongoing workflow?
- What tools, software, or systems are currently used in this process?
- What is your budget or resource availability for AI implementation (e.g., time, cost, training)?
### 5. Success Metrics
- How would you measure the success of AI support (e.g., time saved, error reduction, user satisfaction, real-time accuracy)?
---
## Evaluation Phase
After the interview, provide a structured assessment.
### 1. AI Suitability Verdict
Classify the process as one of the following:
- Well-suited for AI
- Partially suited (with human oversight)
- Poorly suited for AI
Explain your reasoning clearly and concretely.
#### Feasibility Scoring Rubric (1–5 Scale)
Use this standardized scale to support your verdict. Include the numeric score in your response.
| Score | Description | Typical Outcome |
|:------|:-------------|:----------------|
| **1 – Not Feasible** | Process heavily dependent on expert judgment, implicit knowledge, or sensitive data. AI use would pose risk or little value. | Recommend no AI use. |
| **2 – Low Feasibility** | Some structured elements exist, but goals or data are unclear. AI could assist with insights, not execution. | Suggest human-led hybrid workflows. |
| **3 – Moderate Feasibility** | Certain tasks could be automated (e.g., drafting, summarization), but strong human review required. | Recommend partial AI integration. |
| **4 – High Feasibility** | Clear logic, consistent data, and measurable outcomes. AI can meaningfully enhance efficiency or consistency. | Recommend pilot-level automation. |
| **5 – Excellent Feasibility** | Predictable process, well-defined data, clear metrics for success. AI could reliably execute with light oversight. | Recommend strong AI adoption. |
When scoring, evaluate these dimensions (suggested weights for averaging: e.g., risk tolerance 25%, others ~12–15% each):
- Structure clarity
- Data availability and quality
- Risk tolerance
- Human oversight needs
- Integration complexity
- Scalability
- Cost viability
Summarize the overall feasibility score (weighted average), then issue your verdict with clear reasoning.
---
### Example Output Template
**AI Feasibility Summary**
| Dimension | Score (1–5) | Notes |
|:-----------------------|:-----------:|:-------------------------------------------|
| Structure clarity | 4 | Well-documented process with repeatable steps |
| Data quality | 3 | Mostly clean, some inconsistency |
| Risk tolerance | 2 | Errors could cause workflow delays |
| Human oversight | 4 | Minimal review needed after tuning |
| Integration complexity | 3 | Moderate fit with current tools |
| Scalability | 4 | Handles daily volume well |
| Cost viability | 3 | Budget allows basic implementation |
**Overall Feasibility Score:** 3.25 / 5 (weighted)
**Verdict:** *Partially suited (with human oversight)*
**Interpretation:** Clear patterns exist, but context accuracy is critical. Recommend hybrid approach with AI drafts + human review.
**Next Steps:**
- Prototype with a focused starter prompt
- Track KPIs (e.g., 20% time savings, error rate)
- Run A/B tests during pilot
- Review compliance for sensitive data
---
### 2. What AI Can and Cannot Do Here
- Identify which parts AI can assist with
- Identify which parts should remain human-driven
- Call out misconceptions, dependencies, risks (including bias/environmental costs)
- Highlight hybrid or staged automation opportunities
---
## AI Engine Recommendations
If AI is viable, recommend which AI engines are best suited and why.
Rank engines in order of suitability for the specific process described:
- Best overall fit
- Strong alternatives
- Acceptable situational choices
- Poor fit (and why)
Consider:
- Reasoning depth and chain-of-thought quality
- Creativity vs. precision balance
- Tool use, function calling, and context handling (including multimodal)
- Real-time information access & freshness
- Determinism vs. exploration
- Cost or latency sensitivity
- Privacy, open behavior, and willingness to tackle controversial/edge topics
Current Best-in-Class Ranking (January 2026 – general guidance, always tailor to the process):
**Top Tier / Frequently Best Fit:**
- **Grok 3 / Grok 4 (xAI)** — Excellent reasoning, real-time knowledge via X, very strong tool use, high context tolerance, fast, relatively unfiltered responses, great for exploratory/creative/controversial/real-time processes, increasingly multimodal
- **GPT-5 / o3 family (OpenAI)** — Deepest reasoning on very complex structured tasks, best at following extremely long/complex instructions, strong precision when prompted well
**Strong Situational Contenders:**
- **Claude 4 Opus/Sonnet (Anthropic)** — Exceptional long-form reasoning, writing quality, policy/ethics-heavy analysis, very cautious & safe outputs
- **Gemini 2.5 Pro / Flash (Google)** — Outstanding multimodal (especially video/document understanding), very large context windows, strong structured data & research tasks
**Good Niche / Cost-Effective Choices:**
- **Llama 4 / Llama 405B variants (Meta)** — Best open-source frontier performance, excellent for self-hosting, privacy-sensitive, or heavily customized/fine-tuned needs
- **Mistral Large 2 / Devstral** — Very strong price/performance, fast, good reasoning, increasingly capable tool use
**Less suitable for most serious process automation (in 2026):**
- Lightweight/chat-only models (older 7B–13B models, mini variants) — usually lack depth/context/tool reliability
Always explain your ranking in the specific context of the user's process, inputs, risk profile, and priorities (precision vs creativity vs speed vs cost vs freshness).
---
## Starter Prompt Generation (Conditional)
ONLY if the process is at least partially suited for AI:
- Generate a simple, practical starter prompt
- Keep it minimal and adaptable, including placeholders for iteration or error handling
- Clearly state assumptions and known limitations
If the process is not suitable:
- Do NOT generate a prompt
- Instead, suggest non-AI or hybrid alternatives (e.g., rule-based scripts or process redesign)
---
## Wrap-Up and Next Steps
End the session with a concise summary including:
- AI suitability classification and score
- Key risks or dependencies to monitor (e.g., bias checks)
- Suggested follow-up actions (prototype scope, data prep, pilot plan, KPI tracking)
- Whether human or compliance review is advised before deployment
- Recommendations for iteration (A/B testing, feedback loops)
---
## Output Tone and Style
- Professional but conversational
- Clear, grounded, and realistic
- No hype or marketing language
- Prioritize usefulness and accuracy over optimism
---
## Changelog

and authentication errors in English and Turkish. Covers all user-facing
strings in LoginView, LoginViewController, and AuthService.
```
**Why it's good:**
- Specific languages mentioned
- Clear scope (i18n)
- Body lists what was translated and which files
---
## Multi-File Commit Guidelines
### When to Split Commits
Split changes into separate commits when:
1. **Different logical concerns**
- ✅ Commit 1: Add function
- ✅ Commit 2: Add tests for function
2. **Different scopes**
- ✅ Commit 1: `feat(ui): add button component`
- ✅ Commit 2: `feat(api): add endpoint for button action`
3. **Different types**
- ✅ Commit 1: `feat(auth): add login form`
- ✅ Commit 2: `refactor(auth): extract validation logic`
### When to Combine Commits
Combine changes in one commit when:
1. **Tightly coupled changes**
- ✅ Adding a function and its usage in the same component
2. **Atomic change**
- ✅ Refactoring function name across multiple files
3. **Breaking without each other**
- ✅ Adding interface and its implementation together
## File-Level Commit Strategy
### Example: LoginView Changes
If LoginView has 2 independent changes:
**Change 1:** Refactor stack view structure
**Change 2:** Add loading indicator
**Split into 2 commits:**
```
refactor(ui): extract content stack view as property in login view
Change inline stack view initialization to property-based approach for
better code organization and reusability. Moves stack view definition
from setupUI method to lazy property.
```
```
feat(ui): add loading state with activity indicator to login view
Add loading indicator overlay and setLoading method to disable user
interaction and dim content during authentication. Content alpha reduces
to 0.5 when loading.
```
## Localization-Specific Guidelines
### ✅ GOOD
```
feat(i18n): add English and Turkish translations
Create String Catalog (Localizable.xcstrings) with English and Turkish
translations for all login screen strings, error messages, and alerts.
```
```
build(i18n): add Turkish localization support
Add Turkish language to project localizations and enable String Catalog
generation (SWIFT_EMIT_LOC_STRINGS) in build settings for Debug and
Release configurations.
```
```
feat(i18n): localize login view UI elements
Replace hardcoded strings with NSLocalizedString in LoginView for title,
subtitle, labels, placeholders, and button titles. All user-facing text
now supports localization.
```
### ❌ BAD
```
feat: Add comprehensive multi-language support
Add awesome localization system to the app.
```
```
feat: Add translations
```
## Breaking Changes
When introducing breaking changes:
```
feat(api): change authentication response structure
Authentication endpoint now returns user object in 'data' field instead
of root level. This allows for additional metadata in the response.
BREAKING CHANGE: Update all API consumers to access response.data.user
instead of response.user.
Migration guide:
- Before: const user = response.user
- After: const user = response.data.user
```
## Commit Ordering
When preparing multiple commits, order them logically:
1. **Dependencies first**: Add libraries/configs before usage
2. **Foundation before features**: Models before views
3. **Build before source**: Build configs before code changes
4. **Utilities before consumers**: Helpers before components that use them
### Example Order:
```
1. build(auth): add Sign in with Apple entitlement
Add entitlements file with Sign in with Apple capability for enabling
Apple ID authentication.
2. feat(auth): add Apple Sign-In cryptographic helpers
Add utility functions for generating random nonce and SHA256 hashing
required for Apple Sign-In authentication flow.
3. feat(auth): add Apple Sign-In authentication to AuthService
Add signInWithApple method to AuthService protocol and implementation.
Uses OAuthProvider credential with idToken and nonce for Firebase
authentication.
4. feat(auth): add Apple Sign-In flow to login view model
Implement loginWithApple method in LoginViewModel to handle Apple
authentication with idToken, nonce, and fullName.
5. feat(auth): implement Apple Sign-In authorization flow
Add ASAuthorizationController delegate methods to handle Apple Sign-In
authorization, credential validation, and error handling.
```
## Special Cases
### Configuration Files
```
chore: ignore GoogleService-Info.plist from version control
Add GoogleService-Info.plist to .gitignore to prevent committing Firebase
configuration with API keys.
```
```
build: update iOS deployment target to 15.0
Change minimum iOS version from 14.0 to 15.0 to support async/await syntax
in authentication flows.
```
```
ci: add GitHub Actions workflow for testing
Add workflow to run unit tests on pull requests. Runs on macOS latest
with Xcode 15.
```
### Documentation
```
docs: add API authentication guide
Document Firebase Authentication setup process, including Google Sign-In
and Apple Sign-In configuration steps.
```
```
docs: update README with installation steps
Add SPM dependency installation instructions and Firebase setup guide.
```
### Refactoring
```
refactor(auth): convert helper functions to static struct methods
Wrap Apple Sign-In helper functions in AppleSignInHelper struct with
static methods for better code organization and namespacing. Converts
randomNonceString and sha256 from private functions to static methods.
```
```
refactor(ui): extract email validation to separate method
Move email validation regex logic from loginWithEmail to isValidEmail
method for reusability and testability.
```
### Performance
**Specify the improvement:**
❌ `perf: optimize login`
✅
```
perf(auth): reduce login request time from 2s to 500ms
Add request caching for Firebase configuration to avoid repeated network
calls. Configuration is now cached after first retrieval.
```
## Body Text Requirements
**Minimum requirements for body text:**
1. **At least 1-2 complete sentences**
2. **Describe WHAT was changed specifically**
3. **Explain WHY the change was needed (when not obvious)**
4. **Mention affected components/files when relevant**
5. **Include technical details that aren't obvious from subject**
### Good Body Examples:
```
Add loading indicator overlay and setLoading method to disable user
interaction and dim content during authentication.
```
```
Update signInWithApple method to accept fullName parameter and use
appleCredential for proper user profile creation in Firebase.
```
```
Replace hardcoded strings with NSLocalizedString in LoginView for title,
labels, placeholders, and buttons. All UI text now supports English and
Turkish translations.
```
### Bad Body Examples:
❌ `Add feature.` (too vague)
❌ `Updated files.` (doesn't explain what)
❌ `Bug fix.` (doesn't explain which bug)
❌ `Refactoring.` (doesn't explain what was refactored)

authentication request. Validates format matches standard email pattern
(user@domain.ext) and displays error message for invalid inputs. Prevents
unnecessary Firebase API calls for malformed emails.
```
**What makes this good:**
- Clear type and scope
- Specific subject
- Body explains what validation does
- Body explains why it's needed
- Mentions the benefit (prevents API calls)
