Available AI Prompts

Using the AI Effectively

• Be Specific: When using custom prompts, be as specific as possible about what you want.
• Edit AI Suggestions: The AI provides suggestions, not final content. Always review and edit its output to match your voice and style.
• Monitor Your Usage: Keep track of your monthly AI prompt usage in your dashboard to avoid reaching your limit unexpectedly.
• Try Different Approaches: If you're not satisfied with an AI suggestion, try rephrasing your prompt or providing more context.
• Combine AI Features: Use multiple AI features in sequence for best results (e.g., continue writing, then improve paragraph).

Best Practices

• Headings: Use headings to organize your content into logical sections.
• Paragraphs: Keep paragraphs reasonably short (3-5 sentences) for better readability.
• Emphasis: Use bold and italic formatting to emphasize important points, but don't overuse them.
• Lists: Use bullet points or numbered lists to present information in a digestible format.
• Images: Include relevant images to break up text and enhance understanding.
• White Space: Include adequate spacing between paragraphs and sections for easy reading.
• Links: Include relevant links to sources or related content to provide additional value.

Selecting Categories

When publishing, you'll be prompted to select a primary category for your insight. Choose the most relevant option from the predefined categories.

Adding Tags

Tags are more specific keywords that describe your content. You can:

• Select from existing tags that appear in the dropdown menu
• Create custom tags by typing them in the "Custom Tags" field, separated by commas
• Use 3-5 relevant tags for optimal discoverability
• Keep tags concise and specific to your content
