ChatGPT & Claude Prompt Guide - PromicsEdge

This guide shows you how to write effective prompts for the PromicsEdge AI integration in ChatGPT or Claude, so you get accurate, client-specific outputs every time.

Four Core Rules

1. Connect Your Account First

Connect your PromicsEdge account before prompting. Setup instructions: ChatGPT | Claude.

2. Always Address the Connector (App) by Name

Start every prompt with "SelfDecode" so the AI activates the integration instead of relying on general knowledge.

✅ "SelfDecode, please access my client [name] and…"

❌ "Please access my client [name] and…"

3. Always Specify the Client

If you manage multiple clients, use the client's full name. Without it, the AI may pull the wrong profile.

✅ "…for my client Jane Smith…"

❌ "…for my client…"

4. Reference the Source of Information

Tell AI which report, lab data, or lifestyle data to draw from. Vague prompts (for example, "based on her genetics") can lead to arbitrary SNP selection.

✅ "…using her Cardiovascular Health Summary Report…"

❌ "…based on her genetics…"

✅ "…using her relevant lab markers and lifestyle data…"

❌ "…based on her health…"

Tip: For reliable, predictable responses, reference a specific report (for example, the Gut Health Summary Report). For a more exploratory response with additional insights, reference a health area (for example, gut health genetics).

Recommended Prompt Formula

Use SelfDecode, open my client [Full Name] and reference their
[Source of information]. Based on this, [your specific request].

Example:

"Use SelfDecode, open my client Jane Smith and reference her Mood & Mental Health report and relevant lab markers. Based on this, give me her top 10 supplement recommendations, and for each one, explain which results are driving the recommendation and why the supplement helps."

Start Small, Then Expand

Complex multi-part requests reduce accuracy. Break them into focused queries instead.

Instead of:

❌ "Considering [client's name] health, give me a full health plan including supplements, diet, lifestyle, labs, fitness, and mental health."

Try a sequence:

1. "Based on the Health Overview Report for [client name], what are their top 5 supplement, dietary, and lifestyle recommendations, and why?"
2. "Based on their Medication Check (PGx) Report, which medications may require caution?"
3. "Based on their medical predispositions, what are the key chronic conditions with a higher risk, and which lifestyle changes should they apply?"

Prompt Ideas — Basic

Top Supplement Recommendations

"Use SelfDecode, open my client [Name] and reference their [Cardiovascular Health Summary / mental health genetics / gut health lab markers / lifestyle risk factors]. Give me their top 10 supplement recommendations. For each one, explain why the supplement works especially well for this client."

Diet Plan

"Use SelfDecode, open my client [Name]. Based on their genetic results in the Diet & Nutrition Report and their diet questionnaire, draft a 2-week personalized diet plan."

Lifestyle Action Plan

"Use SelfDecode. Based on [Name]'s [Fitness Summary Report / weight control genetics / most important lab results], create a detailed one-month lifestyle and workout plan."

Cardiovascular Risk Summary

"Use SelfDecode, open my client [Name] and reference their Cardiovascular Health Summary. Summarize their key genetic cardiovascular risks and suggest an action plan prioritizing the highest-risk areas."

Prioritize by Importance

"Use SelfDecode, open [Name]'s [Health Overview Report / Gut Health Summary / Lab marker results]. List the 5 most important risks, and suggest the top 5 supplement and lifestyle recommendations."

Prompt Ideas — Advanced

1. Medication-Gene Interactions (Pre-Prescription)

"SelfDecode, my client [Name] has been prescribed metformin and a low-dose SSRI. Based on their PGx and metabolic genetics, flag any interaction risks, poor metabolizer status, or nutrient depletions I should address before they start."

Ideal for pharmacists and integrative MDs — it catches CYP450 variants, transport gene issues, and drug-induced nutrient gaps before they become problems.

2. Fatigue & Burnout Root-Cause Analysis

"SelfDecode, client [Name] presents with chronic fatigue, poor sleep, and low motivation. Using their genetics, labs, and lifestyle data, identify the most likely root causes and build a prioritized recovery protocol."

Connects mitochondrial function, cortisol genetics, methylation, sleep architecture, and iron/B12 pathways into one coherent picture.

3. Pre-Conception Genetic Nutrition Optimization

"SelfDecode, client [Name] is planning to conceive in the next 6 months. Based on her nutrigenetics — especially methylation, folate metabolism, and inflammation markers — design a targeted pre-conception supplement and diet plan."

Especially useful for OB-GYNs and dietitians — MTHFR, MTHFD1, choline needs, omega-3 conversion, and iron status all come together with real clinical stakes.

4. Post-COVID / Long-Haul Recovery Protocol

"SelfDecode, client [Name] has had brain fog, fatigue, and gut issues for 4 months post-COVID. Based on their genetic predispositions for inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune regulation, suggest a personalized recovery plan."

Ties together histamine pathway genetics, IL-6 activity, mitochondrial function, and microbiome-related variants into actionable guidance.

5. Genetic Cardiovascular Risk & Lifestyle Prescription

"SelfDecode, client [Name] has a family history of heart disease. Based on their lipid metabolism genetics, inflammation markers, and current lifestyle, what are their highest-priority modifiable risks, and what specific dietary and supplement interventions are best matched to their genotype?"

Connects Lp(a), saturated fat response, omega-3 needs, CoQ10, and homocysteine genetics into a personalized prevention strategy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Powerful Upgrades

You can onboard clients, generate and download PDF reports, buy new reports, upload labs, and answer lifestyle questions — all directly from your AI chatbot. Read more about the AI upgrades.

Secure Version

Using the external AI integration could potentially violate HIPAA and compromise your clients' privacy if you don't de-identify their personal data properly.

We now have an in-house HIPAA compliant AI assistant with the same capabilities as ChatGPT or Claude. Click here to learn more.
