Step 3: Get better results

• To improve your outcomes, be specific in your prompts. For example, instead of asking for "a social media post", request "a promotional post for a summer sale on shoes".
• Use the “Refine” button after generating content to adjust the tone or style to better fit your needs.
• Regularly check for updates in the extension to access new features and templates.

Pro tip

Make use of keyboard shortcuts! After installing the extension, you can quickly open Writerly by pressing Ctrl + Shift + W (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + W (Mac). This saves time rather than clicking through the toolbar.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid being vague in your requests. If you simply ask for "help with writing", the results may not meet your expectations. Always provide specific details about what you need to ensure the AI generates relevant content.
