Tips for Best Results
- 1.Customize the [TONE] variable based on your audience—technical users want precision; general users want clarity. Test both versions and measure engagement.
- 2.Always include the 'Why It Matters' section in your input. It forces you to articulate customer value before writing, reducing revision cycles.
- 3.Add [AVAILABILITY_INFO] even for internal changelogs. It prevents confusion about rollout timing and reduces support tickets.
- 4.For complex features, ask the AI to provide 2-3 versions (short, medium, long) so you can choose based on channel—Slack vs. email vs. in-app have different length tolerances.
