- A loading indicator
- The result once complete
Response Types
The AI can respond with:

| Buttons | Quick actions, links |

Tips for Better Conversations
Be Clear and Specific
Less effective:
"I need help"
More effective:
"I need help creating a LinkedIn campaign targeting small business owners for our accounting software"
Provide Context
Less effective:
"Add more platforms"
More effective:
"Add Instagram and TikTok to the summer sale campaign we just created"
Ask One Thing at a Time
For complex requests, break them down:
- "Create a new campaign for our product launch"
- "Set the goal to awareness"
- "Target ages 25-40"
Use Follow-up Questions
The AI maintains context, so you can:
"Create a campaign for our newsletter"
[AI creates campaign]
"Actually, change the goal to leads instead"
[AI updates the goal]
"And make it run for 2 weeks"
Troubleshooting
AI Doesn't Understand
If the AI misunderstands:
- Rephrase your request more clearly
- Provide additional context
- Break complex requests into smaller parts
Slow Responses
For complex operations:
- Campaign creation may take 10-30 seconds
- Content generation can take longer
- You'll see a loading indicator during processing
Connection Issues
If the chat shows disconnection:
- Check your internet connection
- Refresh the page
- The AI will reconnect automatically when possible
Unexpected Responses
If you get an unexpected response:
- Check if you're in the right conversation
- Make sure the AI has the context it needs
- Start a new conversation if context is confused
