Expert Usage Tips
2. If the topic is highly complex, ask the model to “explain the event like a briefing to a diplomat” to force a more sophisticated, balanced tone.
3. Use the “Perspective Balance” constraint to specifically ask the AI to include arguments from opposing sides for better neutrality.
4. If you have a specific style guide (e.g., AP Style), paste a snippet into the prompt to ensure the output matches your publication’s voice.
5. Chain your prompts: request the summary first, then follow up with a request for a “deep dive into the economic impact” to expand on specific sections.
