Best Practices for AI Text Generation

  • Use clear, specific instructions when using the "Refine with prompt" option

  • Review AI-generated content before finalizing to ensure it meets your needs

  • For complex formatting or specific brand voice requirements, provide detailed guidance in your prompts

Examples of Effective Prompts

  • "Make this more conversational and friendly"

  • "Shorten this to three sentences while keeping the key points"

  • "Rewrite this for a technical audience"

  • "Refine this to emphasize our limited-time offer"
