• User Prompt: This refers to the user's query or question directed at the assistant. For instance, it could be something like, "What are the apartment prices in X compound?"

These prompts play crucial roles in guiding the interaction between the user and the assistant, ensuring responses are both relevant and contextually appropriate.
