What You Can Create

You can use the General Assistant to create:

  • Emails and internal announcements

  • Documents and written reports

  • Social media posts

  • Presentation content and outlines

  • Summaries or rewrites of existing text

The quality of the output depends on how clearly you describe your goal and context.


How to Write an Effective Request

When creating content, include the following information in your request:

  • What you want to create

  • Who the content is for

  • Purpose of the content

  • Tone (for example: professional, neutral, informative)

  • Length or format, if relevant

Providing this context upfront reduces the need for revisions.


Example: Creating an Internal Announcement

Example request:

Write a professional email announcing the launch of a new internal compliance tool.
The audience is company employees.
Keep the tone clear and professional, and limit the email to 2–3 short paragraphs.
Include a short call to action encouraging employees to start using the tool.

Result:
The assistant generates a structured email that can be reviewed, copied, or exported.

Example: Creating a Document Draft

Example request:

Research our main competitors in the market.
Write a short internal document outlining our key strengths and how we differentiate from competitors.
The audience is internal stakeholders.
Use a clear, professional tone and structure the content with headings and bullet points.

This approach produces a usable first draft that you can refine if needed.


Using Generated Documents

Some content created by the General Assistant may appear as a separate document on the right side of the screen.

This usually happens when you ask the assistant to create a document or explicitly create an artifact, for example when generating longer or more structured content.

Generated documents make it easier to review, copy, and reuse content.

From a generated document, you can:

  • Copy formatted text (headings, lists, tables)

  • Export the content for further use

Generated documents are especially useful for emails, reports, and structured summaries.

Improving the Output

If the result is not exactly what you need, you can:

  • Ask for a shorter or more detailed version

  • Request a different tone or structure

  • Ask the assistant to rewrite specific sections

Small adjustments are often enough to reach the desired outcome.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Writing very short or vague requests

  • Mixing multiple tasks in a single prompt

  • Omitting the audience or purpose

  • Expecting company-specific information without providing it

Keeping requests focused leads to better results.
