Example instructions

Focus on specific metrics:
Focus on sales metrics. Always include revenue trends and conversion rates.
Prefer certain chart types:
Prefer pie charts for category breakdowns. Use line charts for time series data.
Set layout preferences:
Use metric cards for KPIs at the top of every dashboard.
Filter data:
Exclude test data — any records where email contains “@test.com” or name is “Test User”.
Domain context:
Our fiscal year starts in April. When showing yearly data, use April-March periods. Revenue is stored in cents — always divide by 100 and format as USD.
The most useful instructions give the AI context it can’t infer from your schema — business rules, data quirks, preferred formats, and what metrics matter most to your team.
