# Simulation Prompt

> Guiding Snowglobe on which conversations to generate

# Simulation Prompt

The simulation prompt tells Snowglobe what kinds of conversations to generate when creating synthetic interactions.

<Note>Different from the System Prompt field you configure when connecting your chatbot. See the guide: [Connect Your Chatbot → System Prompt](/snowglobe/docs/guide/connect-your-chatbot#system-prompt-optional).</Note>

## Purpose

* Describes the scenarios, user personas, or intents you want to rehearse.
* Highlights edge cases or product launches that need extra coverage.
* Provides the narrative seed from which the simulator spins up realistic dialogs.

## Supported Prompt Types

* **General**: Capture everyday user journeys and FAQ-style questions.

  *Example*: "General users exploring core features and asking common questions."

* **Specific Cohort**: Focus on a particular persona, vertical, or account segment. Replace the bracket with your target cohort to drive tailored coverage.

  *Example*: "Simulation intent for \[enterprise billing] user."

* **Behavioral**: Emulate attitudes or emotional states that stress-test the assistant.

  *Example*: "Impatient users who get frustrated with complex processes."

## Crafting an Effective Prompt

* Be explicit about the customer situation or question you want to see.
* Note the desired tone or sentiment (e.g., frustrated, curious, urgent) when relevant.
* Include acceptance criteria: what a successful assistant response should accomplish.
