Using the Output Template Builder

How to Use the Output Template Builder 🪄

Creating a new template from scratch can be challenging, especially when writing the detailed AI instructions. The Output Template Prompt Builder is a special template designed to do the hard work for you! It helps you generate all the necessary content to build a powerful, custom workspace template quickly and easily.

Think of it as a template that helps you build other templates.

Step 1: Generate Your Template Content

First, you'll use the builder to create the instructions for your new template.

1. From your project dashboard, click the + New Output button.
2. In the pop-up window, find and select the Output Template Prompt Builder.

3. Click Create.

   A new document will open. In the chat input box at the bottom, tell the Project Assist what kind of template you want to build. Be as simple or as detailed as you like.

   • Simple Example: Help me create a video production brief template.
   • Detailed Example: Help me create a video production brief template with the following sections: Project Overview, Creative Direction, Production Specs, and Budget.
4. The AI will automatically fill in the document with all the necessary content for your new template, including a description, a welcome message, and detailed AI instructions for the main prompt and each individual section.

Step 2: Build Your New Custom Template

Now, you'll copy the content you just generated into a new, blank template.

1. Navigate to Workspace Templates in the left-hand sidebar.
2. Click the Create Template button.

3. Give your new template a Template Name (e.g., "Video Production Brief").

   Switch back to your "Output Template Prompt Builder" document. Copy and paste the content from each field in the builder document into the corresponding field in your new template form:

   • What does this template do?  -> What does this template do?
   • Welcome Message  -> Welcome Message
   • AI Instructions  -> AI Instructions
4. Next, create the sections. For each section prompt generated by the builder (e.g., "Project Overview & Objectives"), click + Add Section in your new template.
5. Copy the title of the section and the detailed instructions for it from the builder document and paste them into the new section fields. Repeat this for all sections. 7. Once you've copied all the content, choose an icon, set the visibility, and click Create Template.

Step 3: Use Your New Template!

Your custom template is now ready to use.

1. Go back to your project and click + New Output.

2. Your newly created template (e.g., "Video Production Brief") will now appear in the list. Select it and click Create.

   You can now use the template by giving the AI a simple task, and it will generate a complete, structured document based on the detailed instructions you just built!

   • Example: Give us a video production brief for Whiskers cat food.

That's it! You've successfully used a template to build another, more complex template without having to write any complex prompts yourself. ✨
