Writing good prompts
The more specific your prompt, the less you'll need to fix afterwards. Say what you want to create, who it's for, and any details that matter.
Tips
- Name the thing you want: a project, request, Sync, playlist, composition or social tile.
- Give the details you'd give a colleague: audience, number of questions, length, tone, template, due date.
- Refer to existing content by name: "use the Graduate Stories 2027 project" or "only videos tagged Engineering".
- Build in steps for bigger jobs: create the project first, then the request, then the composition. Check each step as you go.
- Refine the result: follow up with "make it shorter", "swap the second clip" or "use our Brand Dark template".
