ASSISTANT QUALITY REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make assistant instructions clearer with a fresh review.

Give an assistant owner a structured way to describe its purpose, what is working, what is not, and the instructions currently in use. Receive a proposed revision and concise reasoning to review, edit, or reject; the owner stays responsible for changing the instructions and deciding how the assistant behaves.

Helps people who maintain digital assistants reflect on feedback and prepare a more useful draft of their guidance.

  1. Describe the assistant and its intended purpose

    Record what the assistant should help with and who is expected to use it.

  2. Summarize what is and is not working

    Use specific observations and, if useful, examples that do not expose private or confidential information.

  3. Review the current guidance

    Identify unclear, conflicting, or missing directions and prepare a suggested revision with concise reasons.

  4. Check the proposed changes

    Have the owner compare the draft with the original purpose, expected behavior, and any important safeguards.

  5. Deliver the review to the right person

    Confirm the requester and their preferred address before sending; leave adoption of the exact revision to the owner.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A revised instruction draft and review notes delivered to the confirmed requester, with changes left for the owner to approve.

Keep in mind

Suggested instructions may change an assistant’s behavior or introduce unsupported assumptions. Remove secrets and unnecessary personal information from examples, check every suggested change against the intended purpose, and do not replace active instructions until the owner approves the exact revision. Confirm the requester’s address and consent before sending review material by email.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose useful review questions

Ask for the assistant’s purpose, current guidance, what works, what needs improvement, and optional examples.

Set privacy expectations for examples

Tell people to remove credentials, confidential material, and personal details that are not needed for the review.

Define how revisions are reviewed

Make clear that suggestions are drafts and identify who may approve changes to active assistant guidance.

Confirm delivery preferences

Collect an address for the requesting owner, explain what will be sent, and respect their consent and preferred delivery.
