Your question is Clarify Ambiguous User Intent. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

You need to log in / sign up to chat or submit.

Problem

Scenario

You are building a chatbot that gets many vague, contradictory, or nonsensical user messages. You want the assistant to respond helpfully without guessing what the user meant or producing confident nonsense.

Question

How would you prompt the model to clarify user intent gracefully when the input is ambiguous or does not make sense?
