Customise Prompt

The Prompt is the instructions given to the AI that tell the AI what to do. The Prompt can be customised to alter the tone, writing style, structure or to include specific information.

There are two places where the Prompt can be customised:

2. In the Prompt Type column, click Stock Blog Post.
   
3. The Prompt can be edited on the right hand side.

2. The Prompt can be edited on the left hand side.
   
3. Click Generate Blog Post to Save and Test your changes.
   
4. Click the Reset button if you wish to revert to the default prompt.

Click and drag the vertical ellipsis ⋮ button to increase the text box width for easier editing.

The first paragraph of the prompt should not be changed.

Add or edit the prompt using plain English to alter the output of the AI. Some example changes you may wish to make are:

1. Create a keyword-rich title.
