Sticking to the Facts
Stop AI from guessing or making up details that aren't in your notes.
Why this matters
A wrong price or spec in a product page can cost you customers. Letting the AI say "I do not know" is better than a confident guess.
AI Fills Gaps With Guesses
If the facts are missing, the AI often invents a believable answer, like a price nobody announced. It sounds sure, but it is made up.
In real life: If the information is not in front of it, the AI often invents a believable one, like a price that was never announced.
Limit It to Your Notes
Say "Use ONLY the information in the notes below". This stops the AI from adding outside guesses.
In real life: Imagine an exam that says "answer from the passage only". You cannot use outside knowledge. The same words, in your prompt, keep the AI inside your notes.
Give It a Safe Answer: "Not in Notes"
Tell it exactly what to write when a fact is missing, like NOT IN NOTES. Then it has an honest answer to give.
In real life: Give the AI the exact words to use when a fact is missing, such as NOT IN NOTES. An honest answer is better than a guess.
