# Best Practices

> General guidelines for getting the most from Flast.

Follow these practices to have the best experience with Flast.

## Conversation Hygiene

### Start Fresh When Appropriate

Long conversations accumulate context. Start a new chat when:

* Switching to an unrelated topic
* The current thread is getting confusing
* You want a fresh perspective

### Stay Focused

Keep conversations on topic for better results. Mixing too many subjects can reduce quality.

### Provide Feedback

Tell Flast when responses are helpful or not:

```
That's exactly what I needed, thanks!
```

```
This isn't quite right. I meant something more like...
```

## Building Context

### Be Patient

Memory builds over time. The more you use Flast, the better it understands you.

### Correct Misunderstandings

If Flast gets something wrong, clarify:

```
Actually, I work in marketing, not sales. Please remember that.
```

### Share Relevant Information

Proactively share context that helps:

```
I should mention, this is for a nonprofit with limited budget.
```

## Quality Over Quantity

### Take Time to Craft Prompts

A well-thought-out prompt saves more time than it takes to write.

### Review Before Using

Always review generated content before using it professionally.

### Iterate for Excellence

First drafts are starting points. Refine through follow-up.

## Privacy Awareness

### Use Off the Record

Enable for sensitive discussions you do not want saved.

### Think Before Sharing

Consider what information you share, even in private conversations.

### Review Memory Regularly

Check what Flast has learned and remove anything you prefer not stored.

## Realistic Expectations

### Know the Limitations

Flast is helpful but not perfect. Double-check important facts.

### Verify Critical Information

For decisions that matter, verify with other sources.

### Use Appropriate Tools

Some tasks are better done with specialized tools. Use Flast as part of your toolkit, not a replacement for everything.

## Continuous Learning

### Experiment

Try different approaches to see what works best.

### Explore Features

Regularly check for new features and capabilities.

### Read Updates

Stay informed about improvements and changes.
