How to Interact with Blue
To get the most out of your interaction with Blue, here are some tips:
-
Ask Clear Questions:
Instead of saying, “I need help,” try something specific like, “How do I reset my form?” or “Where can I find my application status?” -
Explain Your Role:
Let Blue know who you are by starting with, “I’m an applicant,” “I’m a reference,” or “I’m a worker.” This helps Blue provide answers tailored to your needs. -
Avoid too many specific details, like names or email addresses:
Blue cannot view user information and is unable to process specific requests. -
Be Patient with Complex Requests:
Ask Blue one question at a time, and then you can ask follow up questions if needed. For complex situations, it may direct you to speak with a human for additional help.
