How to prompt the AI

Sim is best when you give it a clear action verb and the context it can't infer from your state.

Prompts that work

  • "Add 200 mg caffeine at 8am"
  • "Remove all caffeine after 2pm"
  • "Move my workout to 6am instead of 5pm"
  • "Enable PCOS at severity 0.6"
  • "What's the difference between this scenario and my baseline?"
  • "Why did cortisol spike at 3pm?"

Prompts that confuse

  • "Make me feel better" — too vague, no action verb
  • "Update my data" — what data?
  • "Should I take this?" — Sim won't give medical advice

Tips

  • When in doubt, give Sim a time of day
  • For dose changes, name the compound exactly
  • Sim explains what it did after each tool call — read the response
