Tips to Get Better Results
- Give context. The more background you provide, the better the AI response.
- Ask for options. Request 3 versions and pick the strongest one.
- Iterate, don't accept. The first response is rarely the best.
- Edit in your voice. AI output should be a starting point, not the final.
