# Example prompts to try

**Category:** [AI Assistant](https://help.totalctrl.app/hc/totalctrl/totalctrl-help-center/en-US/categories/ai-assistant)
**Updated:** 2026-10-04

The Assistant works best when you describe the **outcome** you want and give it any specifics (audience, tone, what to include). Here are prompts you can copy, tweak, and run. It always shows you what it's about to do and creates drafts first, so it's safe to experiment.
## Marketing & messaging

- "Build a **5-step welcome email drip** for new customers, spaced over two weeks, and target contacts created in the last 30 days."
- "Create a **segment** of contacts who haven't been active in 60 days, then draft a win-back email campaign to them."
- "Write a **campaign** announcing our summer sale and send it to my newsletter subscribers."
- "Set up a **3-email onboarding sequence** that starts when someone signs up."

## Website & landing pages

- "Add a **new page** to my main website that announces our new product — a hero, a features section, and a call to action."
- "Create a **landing page styled from my Brand Kit** for our webinar, with a signup form."
- "Make a **pricing page** for my website with three plan tiers."

## Product launches (multi-step)

- "**Launch our new product:** write and post a community announcement, add a launch page to the main website, create an in-platform launch notice, and update the help center release notes."
- "We're releasing version 2.0 — draft a **blog post, a customer email, and an in-app banner** announcing it."

## Content creation

- "Write a **help center article** explaining how password reset works."
- "Draft this month's **newsletter** with a product update and two tips."
- "Create a **customer satisfaction survey** with 5 questions."
- "Post a **community announcement** about our upcoming maintenance window on Saturday."

## Operations & automation

- "Create a **file request link** so customers can upload their onboarding documents to us."
- "Set up an **automation** that alerts me when a high-value deal has had no activity for 7 days."
- "Create an **in-platform notice** telling users about our new dark mode."

## Ask questions (no changes made)

- "How many **open support tickets** do we have?"
- "What are my **top traffic sources** this week?"
- "Summarize the **deals closing this month**."
- "Which **wiki pages** haven't been updated in 6 months?"

## Refine what it makes

After the Assistant creates something, keep the conversation going to adjust it:

- "Make the community post **shorter and more casual**."
- "Change the campaign subject line to something more **playful**."
- "Add a **testimonials section** to that page."
