<human>:  How do I ask for a favor without sounding too demanding?
<bot>: Rather than asking for a favor, perhaps you could consider making a request. Make sure to explain why you need a favor and be willing to give something in return. Be polite and use a polite and non-demanding tone of voice. Thank the person upfront and explain how they could help you out and what the potential benefits could be. Express your appreciation in advance and assure them that you understand if they cannot help.
