Chatbot
Ask the chatbot about STRIDE topics
The STRIDE Toolbox Chatbot is your way to get a detailed overview or very specific details about reform work in countries like England, Denmark, Poland, Norway, and Hungary.
Now also including data, commentary, and descriptions from 431 reforms from all over Europe.
Prompts and answers
You can use the following prompt examples to see how you can formulate a question or a task in a way, the chatbot understands. The chatbot is instructed to work only within the content, available on the STRIDE Toolbox site. If the chatbot tells you “Unfortunately, I cannot find specific information about this in the toolbox yet…”, then try rephrasing your prompt and be more specific. If you think there may be an error or deficiency in the chatbot, please contact us.

Methodological insight

User tip: Want to copy the tables?
You can mark the table directly in the answer from the chatbot and copy it. Open Excel or Google Sheets and paste it. You may need to do some adjustments (columns, rows).
Tips for managing the chat
Did the chatbot suddenly stop mid-response?
If you request a large comparison or a long list, the chatbot might hit its maximum text length limit for a single response. Don’t worry—just type “Continue” in the chat field, and it will pick up right where it left off and finish the answer.
Is the chatbot showing strange formatting or “working notes”?
Because the underlying database is compiled from many different sources, the chatbot can occasionally get confused by its own internal instructions and output meta-notes (such as Final Polish or Review). If this happens, simply type: “Rewrite the response, but omit your working notes and internal reflections.”
3 Golden Rules
3 golden rules you need to know to be successful with the chatbot and its database in the STRIDE Toolbox
Rule 1: Mention the countries by name. If you want a comparison, always write the country names directly in the question (e.g. “for both Denmark and Poland”). This forces the chatbot to retrieve the right chunks immediately.
Rule 2: Ask for tables or bullet points. Our chatbot loves structure. If you add “generate a table” or “use short bullet points”, you avoid long walls of text and get answers that are easy to copy into a report.
Rule 3: Use professional keywords from, for example, the Policy Cycle. The database is structured chronologically. You will get the most precise answers if you use words like Agenda Setting, Formulation, Adoption, Implementation or Evaluation.
