The RISEN Framework: A Deep Dive

RISEN is Loomi's proprietary framework for creating professional-grade prompts. Let's explore each component in depth.

Overview

Role → Intent → Structure → Examples → Nuance

Each element builds on the previous, creating a complete prompt specification.

R - Role

The role defines the persona the AI should adopt.

Why Roles Matter

• Sets vocabulary and expertise level
• Establishes perspective and approach
• Creates consistency across responses

Effective Roles

"You are a senior software engineer at a FAANG company"
"You are a patient kindergarten teacher"
"You are a skeptical journalist"

Common Mistakes

• Too generic: "You are an expert"
• No context: "You are a writer"
• Conflicting traits: "You are a cautious risk-taker"

I - Intent

What you want to achieve, stated clearly.

Good Intent Statements

• Specific outcome: "Create a marketing email that increases click-through rates"
• Clear action: "Explain this concept to a beginner"
• Measurable: "Generate 5 headline options for A/B testing"

Weak Intent Statements

• "Help me with marketing"
• "Write something good"
• "Make it better"

S - Structure

Define the format and organization of output.

Elements to Specify

• Length (word count, sections)
• Format (bullets, prose, code)
• Sections (headers, order)
• Style (formal, casual)

Example

Structure:
1. Executive Summary (50 words)
2. Key Findings (bullet points)
3. Recommendations (numbered)
4. Next Steps (2-3 items)

E - Examples

Show, don't just tell.

Types of Examples

• Input/output pairs
• Style examples
• Anti-examples (what NOT to do)

Example

Example tone:
GOOD: "Transform your workflow with AI"
BAD: "Our AI product does automation"

N - Nuance

The fine-tuning details that make prompts professional.

Types of Nuance

• Constraints: "Don't mention competitors"
• Preferences: "Use active voice"
• Audience: "For technical readers"
• Tone: "Professional but approachable"

Complete RISEN Example

ROLE: You are a senior UX copywriter at a SaaS startup.

INTENT: Write an onboarding email sequence that activates new users.

STRUCTURE:
- 3 emails over 7 days
- Each: subject line + 100-word body + CTA
- Progressive feature disclosure

EXAMPLES:
Subject style: "Your first report is waiting ✨"
Body style: Short paragraphs, conversational

NUANCE:
- Use "you" not "we"
- No pricing mentions
- One clear CTA per email
- Emojis in subjects only
