# missing return!"

Pro Tips

Be Specific

The more context you provide, the better the response. Instead of "write code for a website", try "write a React component for a contact form with name, email, and message fields, including validation".

Use Follow-ups

Don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions. Berwart remembers the conversation context, so you can refine responses iteratively.

Ask for Formats

Request specific output formats:

  • "Give me a bullet-point summary"
  • "Format this as a table"
  • "Provide a step-by-step guide"
  • "Write this as JSON"

Request Explanations

If you don't understand something, ask for clarification:

  • "Explain that in simpler terms"
  • "Give me an example"
  • "Why does this work?"

Iterate and Refine

First responses aren't always perfect. Ask for modifications:

  • "Make it shorter"
  • "Add error handling"
  • "Use a different approach"
  • "Include more examples"

Note: While Berwart strives for accuracy, always verify important information, especially for medical, legal, or financial matters.
