📖Outline, brainstorm or draft from a prompt | AURA Guide

 

What it does

Generate Text gives you a first draft to react to, so you are not starting from an empty page. Type a prompt and pick what you want back: an outline to fill in, a list of ideas to sort through, or a drafted post, essay, story or pros and cons comparison.

 

How to do it

  1. Open the editor for the content you are writing. 
  2. Open the AURA menu at the left of the editor toolbar.
  3. Choose Generate Text.
  1. Pick an action from the Choose Actions list.
  1. Type your prompt in the field that appears, then select Generate.
  2. Read the draft, then select Insert to add it to your content

 

What each action gives you

Generate Text writes from your prompt and nothing else, so it fills in any specific it needs in order to finish the draft. Treat every date, figure, name and result it produces as a placeholder until you have replaced it with a real one.

 

ActionWhat you get
OutlineA structured outline with section headings, ready to write into.
Brainstorm ideasA list of options on the topic you give it.
Create PostA full post with an introduction, main points and a conclusion.
Write a storyA narrative with characters and description.
Write an essayA longer structured piece arguing a position.
Pros and consA comparison table of the alternatives you name.

 

Example prompt

Generate Text gets context from your prompt only, so put everything it needs into the prompt. 

"Brainstorm ways to reduce exposure to a single supplier for silicon carbide power electronics, given a twenty week lead time. Focus on actions a program team could take within one quarter."

 

Tips

  • Generate Text works only from your prompt. It does not read the content you are already writing, and it does not look at anything else in the community. When you want AURA to work from something that already exists, ask AURA about that content directly, or use the transformation options on text you have already written.
