Tips for better results
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Be specific: "Add a blue CTA button with text 'Start Free Trial'" | Vague: "Add a button" |
| Reference existing content: "Change the heading above the button" | Ambiguous: "Change the text" |
| Describe the purpose: "This is a re-engagement email for inactive users" | Skip context |
| Iterate: "Make it shorter", "Now add social links" | Try to do everything in one prompt |
Tip
Use the AI to generate the first draft, then manually refine. The AI is great at structure and layout, but you know your brand voice and specific messaging better.
Note
AI-generated content should always be reviewed before sending. Check for factual accuracy, brand voice consistency, and that links/CTAs point to the right URLs.
