✍️ Crafting Effective Prompts for the AI Agent:

The quality of the AI's response often depends on the quality of your prompt. Here are some tips:

  1. Be Clear and Specific:

    • Instead of: "Tell me about publishing."
    • Try: "What are the key terms I should look for in a publishing agreement for a mobile F2P game?"
    • Instead of: "Find investors."
    • Try: "Can you list venture capital firms that specialize in seed-stage investments for game studios in Europe?"

  2. Provide Context: If your question relates to a specific project, genre, platform, or situation, include those details.

    • Example for Events: "List game development conferences in Germany happening in October 2025."
    • Example for Pitch Decks: "I'm creating a pitch deck for my indie RPG. What are the essential slides I must include for potential investors?"
    • Example for Publishing: "My studio has developed a narrative adventure game for PC. What are some publishers known for supporting this genre?"

  3. Ask One Main Question at a Time: While the AI can handle complex queries, breaking down very broad topics into more focused questions can yield better results.

    • Instead of: "Help me with my game's business plan, publishing, and finding investors."
    • Try: "What are the key components of a business plan for an indie game studio?" then follow up with "How do I identify suitable publishers for a strategy game?"

  4. Use Keywords: Include relevant keywords that will help the AI understand the topic and find the most accurate information.

    • Examples: "investors for VR game studios," "game publishing contracts checklist," "list of game industry events UK September 2025."

  5. Iterate if Needed: If the first response isn't quite what you're looking for, try rephrasing your question or adding more detail. You can continue the conversation with the AI to refine the information.

    • Example: If the AI lists too many events, you could follow up with: "From that list, which events are most focused on indie game investment?"

? Understanding Coin Usage for the AI Agent:

  • Each prompt or interaction you send to the GDBAY AI Agent costs 1 GDBAY Coin.
  • This applies to all general queries, whether you're asking for mentor knowledge, web search information, or platform guidance.
  • Exception: The AI-assisted refinement process when you are submitting an opportunity to the Opportunities Pool is currently FREE of coin cost.

⚠️ Important Considerations & Disclaimers:

  • AI is a Tool, Not a Replacement for Human Judgment: While powerful, the AI Agent's responses are for informational purposes. Always use your professional judgment and seek expert human consultation for critical business, financial, or legal decisions.
  • Accuracy & Completeness: AI-generated content can sometimes be inaccurate or incomplete, or reflect biases from its training data. GDBAY strives to improve accuracy, especially through the Mentor Knowledge Base, but always cross-reference critical information.
  • Do Not Share Highly Sensitive Information: While we take security seriously (see our Privacy Policy), avoid inputting highly sensitive personal or confidential business secrets into AI prompts if you have residual concerns.
  • Beta Phase: The GDBAY platform, including the AI Agent, is currently in Beta. We appreciate your understanding and feedback as we continue to refine its capabilities.

We're excited for you to explore the capabilities of the GDBAY AI Agent and see how it can assist you in your games industry journey!
