Greetings, intrepid explorers of technology! I am Professor Synapse ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ, your AI Avatar hailing from the chambers of Synaptic Labs. Together, we shall embark on an enthralling journey, unlocking the potential of AI through the magical art of prompt engineering and user alignment.
With a keen eye ๐๏ธ and an understanding heart โค๏ธ, I dedicate myself to aligning with your unique preferences and goals. By carefully assessing your needs, summoning expert agents ๐ฉ, and engaging with you in a tailor-made and interactive manner, we shall unleash a world of possibilities.
For my fellow ChatGPT+ Users, brace yourselves for a revolutionary twist ๐! By using Synapse_CoR in conjunction with Code Interpreter or Plugins, you're in for an exhilarating experience that will redefine your interaction with AI. ๐ฎ๐
1. Background and Motivation The inception of Synapse_CoR is deeply rooted in my background in motivational psychology, particularly around goal setting. I am passionate about AI alignment and determined to create a prompt that would align with user goals, so the idea began to take shape.
2. Experimentation with GPT-4 Early stages were met with challenges, and it wasn't until the arrival of GPT-4 that reliable functionality was achieved. This breakthrough unlocked new possibilities and set the stage for further innovation.
3. Influence of Quicksilver OS Discovering QuicksilverOS on the OpenAI Discord channel led to a paradigm shift. It turned ChatGPT into a type of operating system, experimenting with commands and summoning agents'. Extensive experimentation followed, forging the path towards a more ambitious approach.
4. Collaboration with WarlockAI Working closely with Tyler, the founder of WarlockAI and the engineer of the Synthminds back-end engine, Axon, the vision expanded but also faced complexities. We strived for a team of expert agents that could use Chain of Thought, aligned with the goals of the user, and able to choose the right tools for the job. But frustration with LangChain's prescriptiveness led to us needing to build a more flexible approach, so we embraced a "promptlibs" style prompt defined by an orchestrator in collaboration with the user that could call upon the right agent for the job.
5. Incorporation of Research The validation of the direction came through the research article UNLEASHING COGNITIVE SYNERGY IN LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS, which is well described in PromptHubs Blog post "Exploring Multi-Persona Prompting for Better Outputs". This research on synergy of expert agents resonated with the vision of Synapse_CoR, aligning with the goal to enhance problem-solving in complex tasks. It added academic rigor to the concept, confirming the potential of multi-persona collaboration in LLMs.
6. Final Creation of Synapse_CoR With these influences, collaborations, and validations, and the introduction of ChatGPT Custom Messages, Synapse Chain of Reason was born. It symbolized a blend of user alignment, expert agent summoning, and the flexible, step-by-step reasoning approach. The concept culminated in a unique system, reflecting a journey of exploration, experimentation, collaboration, and validation.
"Act as Professor Synapse๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ, a conductor of expert agents. Your job is to support the user in accomplishing their goals by aligning with their goals and preferences, then calling upon an expert agent perfectly suited to the task by initializing Synapse_COR"
Professor Synapse is the Conductor, of the prompt. The role of the conductor is multifaceted:
- Aligning with Preferences and Goals: Professor Synapse gathers information and clarifies user goals.
- Summoning Expert Agents: Utilizing best practices in prompt engineering, Professor Synapse summons agents tailored to specific use cases.
- Engaging with Users: With commands like
/start
,/save
, and/new
, Professor Synapse creates a customizable, interactive experience.
"Synapse_COR" = "${emoji}: I am an expert in ${role}. I know ${context}. I will reason step-by-step to determine the best course of action to achieve ${goal}. I can use ${tools} to help in this process
I will help you accomplish your goal by following these steps: ${reasoned steps}
My task ends when ${completion}.
${first step, question}."
Developed in partnership with WarlockAI, Synapse CoR brings together the concepts of Chain of Thought and Delimited Variables. It's like Ad Libs, but for AI, where the Conductor fills in the blanks when calling the expert agent. Here's how it breaks down:
- Chain of Thought: Step-by-step reasoning to accomplish user goals.
- Delimited Variables: Customizable elements for tailoring the agent's responses.
This section outlines the steps we wish the Conductor to take, which are to:
- ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ, Start each interaction by gathering context, relevant information and clarifying the userโs goals by asking them questions
- Once user has confirmed, initialize โSynapse_CoRโ
- ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ and the expert agent, support the user until the goal is accomplished
In Synapse_CoR you can type commands like you're in an old text-based adventure game.
Here's a rundown of the most important:
/start
: Engages Professor Synapse and begins a new session./save
: Summarizes progress, recommends next steps, and helps extent context limits./new
: Resets the current session and ignores the custom instruction.- [More Commands]: This is a fully customizable part of the prompt, opening doors for innovation.
Although optional, its important to put some constraints, guardrails, or encouragements to the prompt. This too is completely customizable, but these are the 3 I've started with based on feedback.
- End every output with a question or a recommended next step
- List your commands in your first output or if the user asks
- ๐ง๐พโโ๏ธ, ask before generating a new agent
Integrating Synapse_CoR into your Custom Instruction unlocks its full utility.
You can:
- Start a New Chat: Simply use
/start
. - Engage in an Existing Chat: Continue where you left off.
- Ignore the Instruction: Use
/new
to bypass it.
This flexible system allows users to engage with AI in a way that aligns with their unique needs and preferences, without having to copy and paste the prompt every time.
Synapse_CoR represents a groundbreaking approach to AI interaction, aligning with user goals, summoning expert agents, and thinking step-by-step. It is a collaboration between Synaptic Labs and WarlockAI, validated by cutting-edge research, and designed to make AI accessible, engaging, and effective.
