Draft Guidance in Symbolic allows you to steer the AI throughout the writing process by setting up clear parameters in three key areas: Research, Voice, and Format. Here’s how to effectively configure each component to ensure your content aligns with your project goals.

Visible Research

Research Guidance helps the AI focus on the most relevant information when generating content. Here’s how to effectively guide the AI using your research materials:

1. Select Visible Research

As you gather materials, choose the most relevant documents, articles, or data that the AI should prioritize. Highlight key sections or important data points within these materials to direct the AI’s attention to what’s most important.

2. Guide the AI with Context

By selectively choosing which research materials are visible to the AI, you ensure that it has a strong contextual foundation. This helps the AI generate content that’s not only accurate but also deeply informed by the most pertinent information available.

3. Refine and Adjust

As the project evolves, you can refine the visible research by adding or removing materials. This ongoing adjustment helps the AI stay aligned with your project’s changing needs, ensuring that the generated content remains relevant throughout the process.

Custom Voice

Voice Customization allows you to ensure that all AI-generated content maintains a consistent tone and style. Here’s how to set up and refine the AI’s voice:

1. Generate Voice Instructions from Examples

Start by providing examples of writing that reflect the tone and style you want. This could be past work, sample articles, or any text that embodies the desired voice. The AI will analyze these examples to generate a set of voice instructions.

2. Edit and Refine the Voice

Once the AI generates the initial voice instructions, review them carefully. You can tweak aspects like tone, formality, and specific stylistic elements to better match your needs. This step ensures that the AI’s output closely aligns with the voice you want to maintain.

3. Apply Consistently Across Projects

After setting up the voice, you can access it acroos any of your projects. This ensures that your content maintains a uniform style, no matter what the subject matter or format, reinforcing your brand’s identity or the project’s specific tone.

Custom Format

1. Provide Example Structures

Just like with voice, you start by providing the AI with examples of the format you want. This might include specific templates, outlines, or completed documents that reflect the structure you want the AI to replicate.

2. Generate and Edit Format Instructions

The AI will create format instructions based on your examples. Review these instructions to ensure they accurately reflect the desired structure. You can make adjustments to ensure that the AI understands how to organize content, whether it’s for a research paper, a report, or a blog post.

3. Ensure Consistent Application

Once your format instructions are set, they can be applied to any new content you generate. This ensures that all AI-produced content follows the same structural guidelines, making your final output consistent and professional across different projects.
