Best practices
- Be specific with your requests: clearly specify what you need to trigger the correct plugin. For example, if you need the latest market data, include terms like "financial news" or "latest market trends" in your prompt.
- Combine plugins when needed: leverage multiple plugins in a single prompt to maximize efficiency. For example, you can search the latest fashion trend (Web Search) and visualize it (Render Chart).
- Test and experiment: familiarize yourself with different plugins by testing them in various scenarios to understand their full capabilities and limitations.
