Tips for Overcoming AI Prompt Challenges in List Building

I need to build a list with an ai enrichment prompt. The issue I'm having is when I start from a blank template and ask the prompt to deliver example companies that fit the prompt criteria, it just spins or errors out. I've tried the 'help me' ai prompt generator, but it doesn't seem to work. Any tips?

When using the "Help me" feature: • Click "Help me" in the Configuration section of the Use AI panel • Provide a clear task description of your desired outcome • Click "Generate Prompt" to get a customized prompt 2. Structure your prompt effectively by: • Starting with a system prompt that provides context and outlines your goal • Including clear, step-by-step instructions • Specifying exactly how you want the output formatted 3. For better results, make sure to: • Be explicit about the data points you want to extract • Include details about format, style, and any specific requirements • Break down complex tasks into smaller, clearer steps If you're still experiencing issues, try using one of the pre-configured templates from the "Browse Templates" button as a starting point, then modify it to suit your needs.
