Use examples and reference copy

Describing a style is hard; showing one is easy. Where POM AI lets you supply an example, doing so is usually more effective than any amount of adjectives.

Where examples fit

The strongest technique: continue from your own writing

The paragraph assistant sends the editor's current content with the request. In continue mode, the generated text takes its voice, register and vocabulary from what is already there.

That makes this the most reliable way to get output in your voice:

1. Write the first paragraph yourself, properly.
2. Use Write new content that continues your content.
3. Prompt with what should come next.

The result matches the opening far more closely than any description of your tone would achieve. See Continue an existing passage.

For a whole article, alternate: you write the paragraphs that carry the argument, the tool writes the supporting detail.

Reference images in the enhancer

The image enhancer accepts up to three optional reference images alongside the image being processed. Each must be a valid image attachment of 2 MB or less.

The numbering is fixed and is what makes them usable: the image being processed is Image #1, the optional references are Image #2 to Image #4 in slot order. You can then refer to them directly:

Relight Image #1 using the lighting and mood of Image #2.

Put the product from Image #1 on a surface like the one in Image #3.

The practical application is consistency across a batch: supply one reference that defines the look, and every processed image is pushed towards it. See Improve an existing image.

Quoting an example inside a prompt

Where there is no dedicated mechanism, a short quoted passage still works:

Write in this register: "We will tell you if you do not need us. It happens more often than you would expect."

Two rules:

• Keep it short. One or two sentences. The prompt is part of the input, so a long example costs on every run.
• Say what to copy. Match the register and sentence rhythm, not the subject prevents the tool writing about the example's topic.

Naming a comparison

Where you cannot supply text, a comparison often works better than adjectives:

The way a specialist explains something to a colleague, not the way a brochure sells it.

Like a well-written instruction manual: direct, unhurried, no persuasion.

These give more usable direction than "professional but friendly", which means nothing in particular.

Making an example permanent

If the same example applies to everything you write, it belongs in Brand voice and tone, which asks for representative sentences and communication style.

Putting a real sentence from your own site there raises the default quality of every generation, instead of one. See Provide useful business context.

What examples cannot do

• They do not enforce terminology. There is no glossary. A term in an example may still be varied.
• They do not transfer facts. Quoting a competitor's page does not make its claims true for you — and do not copy competitor copy.
• They do not survive translation. Register conveyed by an example in one language does not carry into another. Write the description in each language.
• They do not guarantee consistency across independently generated sections.

A practical routine

1. Find a passage on your site that sounds exactly right.
2. Put it in the business description as the voice example.
3. For a specific piece, open with a paragraph you wrote and continue from it.
4. Save the prompt that worked as a template, so the whole team inherits it.
