Say what done looks like#

The biggest single improvement is describing the finished thing: who it is for, how long it is, what shape it takes and what it must include.

"A six-slide pitch deck for a bakery's second shop, for local investors, ending with the ask" leaves far less to guess than "make a pitch deck".

Try it

Copy a request into Klyroe and adjust it to your own work. Nothing is sent from this page.

Vague

Write an email about the price change.

Clear

Write a short email to our regular customers saying bread prices go up by 20p on 1 March because flour costs rose. Warm, plain, under 120 words, with a thank-you at the end.

Give it the material#

Klyroe works from what you give it. Paste the notes, attach the spreadsheet, add the PDF. If figures matter, give the real ones; otherwise it has to guess.

When you need current information, turn on Web search in the plus menu. Replies that used it show their sources, so you can open and check each one.

Work from your own figures

Using the attached sales sheet only, tell me which three products sold best last month and by how much. If a figure isn't in the sheet, say so instead of estimating.

Ask for the format#

Name the shape you want: a table, a checklist, a slide deck, a spreadsheet with formulas, a diagram. If you will keep editing it, ask for it as an artifact so it opens beside the chat with its own versions.

Name the shape

Turn these notes into a checklist I can print, grouped by morning, midday and closing tasks.

Improve it in place#

Treat the first result as a draft. Point at what to change, such as "make slide three a timeline" or "shorter, and less formal", rather than starting again. Changes to an artifact are saved as new versions, so you can go back.

If a reply missed entirely, regenerate it. To try a different direction without losing this one, fork the chat from that message into a new chat.

Point at the change

Keep everything else, but make slide three a simple timeline from March to June and cut the jargon on slide five.

Check yourselfYou like most of a deck but slide three is wrong. What do you do?

Put it to work

The quickest way to learn it is to do one real piece of work with it.
