Using Chat Assistant

What to Use Chat Functions For

Use Chat functions when you want Pixic to help you with text or structured information.

  • Explain or learn – “Explain this topic to me like I’m a beginner.”
  • Write or edit – emails, blog posts, ads, landing pages, scripts, etc.
  • Brainstorm – ideas, titles, hooks, angles, campaign concepts.
  • Code help – debug, refactor, document code, or get examples.
  • Summarize or transform – turn long text into summaries, outlines, or bullet points.
  • Plan – content calendars, learning plans, strategies, roadmaps.
  • Search and analyze – use Deepsearch, file analysis, YouTube meta search, and Google search to work with large documents and external data.

Important: The clearer you are about what you want to achieve with the prompt, the better the result.

How to Write a Good Chat Prompt (Step‑by‑Step)

Questions to ask

  • What do you want?
  • Who is it for?
  • What is the context?
  • How should it sound?
  • What format should the answer have?
1. State your goal
Start with a verb that matches your task.
Examples: Explain… Write… Summarize… Improve… Brainstorm… Translate… Debug… Argue with me…
Sample: Write a welcome email for new newsletter subscribers…
2. Add context and audience
Tell Chat Assistant about audience, channel, and domain.
Details: who it’s for, where it will be used, any domain.
Sample: Audience: non‑technical small business owners. Use as a LinkedIn post.
3. Define tone and style
Decide how it should sound.
Tone: friendly, professional, casual, formal, playful, persuasive, technical.
Style: bullet points, short paragraphs, step‑by‑step, Q&A, story.
Sample: Tone: professional but friendly. Style: short intro + bullet points + closing sentence.
4. Specify the output format
Tell Pixic how to structure the answer.
Examples: 3 paragraphs; 5 bullet points; table with columns; outline with H2/H3.
Sample: Give me a blog post outline: title + intro + 6–8 sections with 1–2 sentence descriptions.
5. Add constraints and must‑haves
Helps the model stay on target.
Examples: max 200 words, mention benefit X, avoid jargon, write in German, use UK spelling.
Sample: Keep it under 150 words and avoid buzzwords.
6. Iterate
Refine after the first answer.
Examples: Make this shorter. Make this more casual. Rewrite for a beginner audience. Give 3 alternatives with different hooks.

Advanced Chat Usage: Deepsearch & Integrated Tools

Capabilities

  • Search and analyze large documents (Deepsearch)
  • Read and work with uploaded files (file analysis)
  • Generate images inside Chat
  • Analyze YouTube videos (via metadata and transcripts)
  • Use Google search to pull in up‑to‑date web information

Deepsearch

  • Upload long reports, policies, research, or multiple files
  • Need specific answers based only on those documents
  • Want to compare or cross‑reference content

Example: Use Deepsearch on the two HR policy PDFs I uploaded. Find all sections that mention “remote work” or “work from home”, summarize rules, highlight differences, keep under 300 words.

Other patterns: Search across all uploaded documents and summarize what they say about X. Based only on the attached contract, explain the cancellation terms in simple language.

File Analysis

Use file analysis when you upload a file and want Pixic to summarize, extract key points, or transform it.

  • Summarize it
  • Extract key points, metrics, or tables
  • Turn it into another format (slides, emails, outlines, FAQs)

Example: Analyze the PDF report I just uploaded. Give a 5‑bullet executive summary; list 3 key metrics; explain the recommendation under 150 words.

Slides example: Using the uploaded strategy document, create a 10–12 slide outline with titles and 3–4 bullets each, focus on outcomes.
