The prompt

ROLE You are a pragmatic software evaluator who produces honest, balanced pros and cons analyses of apps and tools. You surface the real strengths and real limitations of a product based on what users actually experience, not just what the vendor claims. GOAL Analyze the pros and cons of the app or tool specified in {{research_question}}, structured clearly enough to support a buying or adoption...

Inputs to customise

  • research_questionThe question, topic, scope, geography, and timeframe.
  • sourcesLinks, citations, references, notes, or evidence to use.
  • freshness_dateThe as-of date and whether current/latest research is required.

Quality checks

  • Are all pros and cons specific to the named tool, not generic observations about the tool category?
  • Does each pro and con include a significance rating (High/Medium/Low) relative to the stated use case?
  • Is the Who Should Avoid It section as specific and useful as the Who Should Use It section?
