Phase 1: Discovery

When you start a skill, the AI asks 1-3 targeted questions to understand your context:

Example questions:

  • "Who is the recipient of this email?"

  • "What is the main value proposition you want to highlight?"

  • "What is the prospect's current situation?"

Tips for Discovery:

  • Be specific in your answers

  • Include relevant details (company names, deal sizes, pain points)

  • The more context you provide, the better the output

The Discovery phase uses a lightweight AI model for fast, responsive conversation.

Phase 2: Confirmation

After gathering context, you'll see two generation options:

Quick Generation

  • Generates immediately

  • Uses your answers and general best practices

  • Fastest option (8-15 seconds)

Detailed Generation (with Playbooks)

  • Reviews your company playbooks before generating

  • Ensures brand alignment and methodology compliance

  • Slightly longer but more aligned with your organization

When to choose Detailed:

  • External-facing communications

  • Important deals or accounts

  • When brand consistency matters

Phase 3: Generation

The AI creates your deliverable in 8-15 seconds:

  1. A loading indicator shows generation progress

  2. The formatted output appears in the chat

  3. Download buttons appear for export options

Output quality:

  • Professionally formatted with headers, sections, and structure

  • Ready to use with minimal editing

  • Follows the skill's specific template

After Generation

Once your deliverable is ready:

  • Review the output in the chat

  • Export as PDF, Word, or Excel (see "Exporting Skill Outputs")

  • Refine with follow-up prompts if needed

  • Copy text to clipboard for quick use

Tips for Best Results

  1. Answer discovery questions thoroughly - More context = better output

  2. Choose "Detailed" for important deliverables - Ensures playbook alignment

  3. Use follow-up prompts to refine - "Make the intro more casual" or "Add a pricing section"

  4. Attach relevant files - Previous emails, meeting notes, or research

  5. Save successful outputs - Use them as templates for future reference
