Examples¶

Basic tabular comparison of specific aspects¶

+++Comparison(aspects=[performance,cost,ease of use,ecosystem])
Compare React, Angular, and Vue for front-end development.

Creates a table comparing React, Angular, and Vue across the specified aspects, with key differences highlighted

Prose-based comparison without specific aspects¶

+++Comparison(format=prose, highlight=false)

Model-Specific Implementations¶

gpt-4-turbo¶

Instruction: Create a direct comparison between the items/concepts mentioned in the question. Use {format} format and compare them along {aspects} dimensions. {highlight}

Notes: This model sometimes needs more explicit structure for complex multi-dimensional comparisons

Implementation Guidance¶

Comparing programming frameworks with specific aspects¶

Original Prompt:

Compare React, Angular, and Vue for front-end development.

Transformed Prompt:

Please structure your response as a direct comparison between multiple items, concepts, or approaches, highlighting their similarities and differences. Compare the items specifically across these aspects or dimensions: performance, cost, ease of use, ecosystem. Present the comparison in a tabular format with items as columns (or rows) and comparison aspects as rows (or columns). Explicitly emphasize or call attention to key differences between the items being compared.

Prose comparison of political systems¶

Original Prompt:

Compare democracy and authoritarianism as political systems.

Transformed Prompt:

Please structure your response as a direct comparison between multiple items, concepts, or approaches, highlighting their similarities and differences. Present the comparison as flowing paragraphs that discuss each aspect across all items in a narrative style. Present differences and similarities without special emphasis on either.
