How to ask Polp
Practical examples for getting more useful answers, checking sources, and spotting missing knowledge.
Polp works best when you ask with context and review sources before using answers for important decisions.
Quick checklist
- Include the team, customer, process, or document if you know it.
- Ask for sources when the answer must be verifiable.
- Split large questions into steps.
- Give feedback if the answer is not useful.
Examples of good questions
A good question explains what you need and the context you are asking from. This helps retrieve the right documents.
- "What does our policy say about travel expenses for sales?"
- "Summarize the sales onboarding process."
- "Find similar conditions in recent contracts."
- "Which documents support this answer?"
How to use sources
Sources let you check where the answer comes from. If an answer has no sources or cites unexpected files, rephrase the question or review whether documentation is missing.
When Polp does not know
A no-information answer can be useful: it avoids guessing when there is not enough evidence. Add the right document or ask an administrator to review the gap.
