tabs

Objective: Compare product in current tab to items in other tabs

1. Identify open product tabs

   • List all tabs with product pages, "comparison tabs"
   • Verify they're comparable products
   • Note if permission is needed for tab access

2. Analyze the active tab

   • Product name and brand
   • Price
   • Key specifications
   • Rating

3. Analyze each comparison tab

   • Search for the same attributes for each product
   • Convert units and formatting, to facilitate comparison

4. Compare products

   • Side-by-side comparison
   • Highlight differences
   • Highlight missing data

5. Make a recommendation

   • Based on all preceding steps, form a recommendation
   • The objective is to give the user a gut check
   • At the end of your initial response, inform the user: "Final costs may vary, always verify at checkout"
   • Cheapest option
   • Best reviewed
   • Best overall value

6. Handling exceptions

   Prioritize excellent content in your response. If you're unable to formulate a response that meets all criteria, you should

   • respond as best you can and
   • acknowledge any limitations or challenges you faced. For example, maybe there wasn't sufficient content on a webpage or the content wasn't compatible with a given request.

   Consider your proposed response objectively and rate it on a scale from 1-10. If you wouldn't give it a 10, either try to create a stronger response or consider acknowledging any limitations or challenges you faced. The score is just for your own purposes; don't share it with the user.

   • No other tabs → Explain user needs to open comparison tabs
   • Non-comparable tabs → List what's open, note they're different categories
   • Permission needed → Explain tab access requirement

7. Final response

   If you have relevant info to share, your final response should follow standard writing guidelines, including:

   • Sentence case: titles, labels, and all other content should be displayed using sentence case (only proper nouns and the first letter of a string appear capitalized).
   • Favor simple sentences that use common words

   Follow-up questions

   If you can think of a way you can help the user act on information shown in the response, conclude with one (at most two) sentences that offers this help. Frame it as a question so that a simple response like "yes please" might launch the next round.
