How to Build Your Own Examples
- Take a task already on your calendar for this week.
- Write the brief in two sentences: the job and the audience.
- Generate, compare against the version you would have written manually.
- Save the prompt alongside the result so the second run takes seconds.
Getting More From Each Example
Most people stop at the first result. Generate a second version with one changed variable - length, tone or angle - and compare. The better version usually appears on the second run, not the first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the sale price calculated?
The discount percentage is applied to the original price and subtracted, leaving the amount you pay.
How do I stack two discounts?
Apply them one after another to the running total - percent off the original for both overstates the saving.
Can it work out the original price from the sale price?
Divide the sale price by one minus the decimal discount - for example 75 percent of the original means dividing by 0.75.
