We’re excited that FBN®’s artificial intelligence (‘AI) Ag Advisor, Norm is coming soon. Norm is built off of ChatGPT’s language model and trained to provide high quality agronomy content.
Norm will be a powerful tool to help farmers answer questions about agronomy, farm management and more.
Norm will be available for all of our members in the near future but for now he’s still learning so he’s currently in a closed beta for a select group of farmers.

But when he’s ready for all farmers, here are some tips on how you’ll be able to get the most out of Norm:
Identify the specific information or output you want from Norm before crafting your prompt.
Provide as much relevant context and detail as possible to guide Norm's response in the right direction.
Frame your prompt as a question using words like "how," "why," "when," and "where" to encourage a more focused response.
Craft your prompts to minimize confusion or misinterpretation. Make sure your wording is clear and concise.
If you have a preferred format for the answer (e.g., list, paragraph, bullet points), mention it in the prompt.
If you require a specific length for the response, specify the desired word or sentence count.
For complex tasks, break the prompt into smaller, manageable steps to help guide Norm through the process.
Use phrases like "Please explain" or "Can you elaborate on" to prompt more detailed responses.
Ask for real-life examples, case studies, or hypothetical scenarios to better illustrate the point.
If you're unsure about the best way to phrase a prompt, try asking the same question in different ways to see which yields the best results.
Write your prompts in a conversational tone, as if you were speaking directly to a human assistant.
If you're unsatisfied with the initial response, refine your prompt or ask follow-up questions to get better results.
If you want Norm to provide sources or references, explicitly mention this in your prompt.
If you're discussing a particular time period, location, or event, provide this context within the prompt to ensure accuracy.
Try to be impartial when asking questions, as leading questions may result in biased or less accurate responses.
Sometimes it may take a few attempts to get the desired response. Experiment with different approaches to find what works best.
