Chatbots offer pre-made prompts for quick use. Start with the most relevant, but feel free to be creative. They can help with crafting messages, storytelling, presentation planning, and providing tips or examples for various needs.
When talking to a real person or a chatbot, ask clarifying questions for thorough answers. For instance, if you need help with a job application cover letter, specify your request by saying, "Give me some tips on creating a cover letter."
If the text feels too formal or generic, ask the bot to rewrite it. Specify the tone, context, or additional details in a new request, like: "Rewrite this email optimistically in 100 words. Include summer greetings."
Many chatbots support typing, dictating, or photo uploads for questions. For instance, you can photograph a paper letter to use OCR for text recognition and response generation. Bots like ChatOn and Claude also process uploaded PDF documents.
