| Advanced Elicitation | Push the LLM to rethink its work using structured reasoning methods |
|
Make the LLM reconsider what it just generated. You pick a reasoning method, it applies that method to its own output, you decide whether to keep the improvements.
What is Advanced Elicitation?
A structured second pass. Instead of asking the AI to "try again" or "make it better," you select a specific reasoning method and the AI re-examines its own output through that lens.
The difference matters. Vague requests produce vague revisions. A named method forces a particular angle of attack, surfacing insights that a generic retry would miss.
When to Use It
- After a workflow generates content and you want alternatives
- When output seems okay but you suspect there's more depth
- To stress-test assumptions or find weaknesses
- For high-stakes content where rethinking helps
Workflows offer advanced elicitation at decision points - after the LLM has generated something, you'll be asked if you want to run it.
How It Works
- LLM suggests 5 relevant methods for your content
- You pick one (or reshuffle for different options)
- Method is applied, improvements shown
- Accept or discard, repeat or continue
Built-in Methods
Dozens of reasoning methods are available. A few examples:
- Pre-mortem Analysis - Assume the project already failed, work backward to find why
- First Principles Thinking - Strip away assumptions, rebuild from ground truth
- Inversion - Ask how to guarantee failure, then avoid those things
- Red Team vs Blue Team - Attack your own work, then defend it
- Socratic Questioning - Challenge every claim with "why?" and "how do you know?"
- Constraint Removal - Drop all constraints, see what changes, add them back selectively
- Stakeholder Mapping - Re-evaluate from each stakeholder's perspective
- Analogical Reasoning - Find parallels in other domains and apply their lessons
And many more. The AI picks the most relevant options for your content - you choose which to run.
