Write effective prompts for the Brand assistant

Clear prompts lead to better, more usable results.

Updated today

The Brand assistant works best when your instructions are clear, specific, and contextual.

Think of it less like a search bar and more like briefing a teammate, the more direction you give, the better the outcome.


Start with a clear goal

Avoid vague prompts like:

  • “Write something about our brand”

Instead, define exactly what you need.

Better example:

  • “Write a 3-sentence summary of our brand mission for our About page using a friendly and inclusive tone.”


Be specific about the task

Tell the assistant what to do and what kind of content you expect.

Include:

  • Content type (email, caption, product description, etc.)

  • Channel (website, social, internal comms)

  • Audience (customers, partners, internal teams)

Example:

  • “Write an email introduction for customers announcing our new product, using a professional but approachable tone.”


Define the output format

Clear structure helps you get usable results faster.

Specify:

  • Length (e.g. under 50 words, 1 paragraph)

  • Format (bullet points, sentence, list)

  • Quantity (e.g. 3 options, 5 variations)

Example:

  • “Give me 5 social captions under 20 words each, promoting our summer campaign.”


Use your brand context

The Brand assistant is grounded in your guidelines, but you can still guide it further.

Mention:

  • Tone of voice (bold, playful, professional, etc.)

  • Key messages or themes

  • Any constraints (e.g. compliance, wording to avoid)

Example:

  • “Write a product description using our confident and minimal tone. Avoid overly technical language.”


Provide examples when needed

If you have a specific style in mind, show it.

Example:

  • “Write a headline similar to: ‘Simple. Powerful. Built for teams.’ Keep it short and benefit-focused.”

Examples help the assistant match your expectations more closely.


Iterate and refine

You don’t have to get it perfect in one go.

You can:

  • Ask for variations

  • Adjust tone or length

  • Build on previous responses

Example:

  • “Make it shorter and more direct”

  • “Give me 3 more options with a more playful tone”


If you don’t get the expected result

Check the following:

  • Is your prompt clear and specific?

  • Does the information exist in your guidelines?

  • Is the content in a readable format (not PDF or image)?

Remember: the Brand assistant only uses what it can access in your guidelines.


Quick prompt examples

  1. Content creation
    “Write 3 product taglines under 10 words using a bold and confident tone.”

  2. Copy review
    “Review this text and suggest improvements based on our tone of voice guidelines.”

  3. Guideline question
    When should I use a logo lockup?”

  4. Asset search
    “Show me images with a bright color palette and our logo.”


Key takeaway

Clear prompts + strong guidelines = better results.

The more specific your input, the more relevant and on-brand the output will be.

Happy prompting!
