IV – Why Context Beats Prompts

Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful pattern matchers — but they don't know your business. Think of prompts like an exam question and context like the cheat sheet.

Your agents need:

Who — the role they're acting as (tone, target audience)

What — what you want delivered (format, length, style, constraints)

How — step‑by‑step instructions, tools they're allowed to use

Where — documents, emails, databases, search results to read from

Agents with memory (like Manus or Notion) become more and more like you over time. Feed them previous outputs, examples and your preferences so they can act like you and make decisions that feel like yours.
