Template Tips For Best Outputs

• Templates require five key components: Voice, Knowledge, Examples, Instructions, and Inputs. This guide will dive into how to create Templates that ensure your outputs are high-quality and consistent.

Templates in Orbit Flows capture exactly how you want your content created. A well-built template combines Voice settings, Knowledge context, example content, detailed instructions, and customizable inputs to guide content creation. By properly configuring each component, you enable Flows to understand and replicate your unique content style and requirements.

Set Up Voice:

• Create or select a Voice that matches your desired tone and style

• Apply the Voice to your template

Add Knowledge:

• Include basic company/product information

• Add relevant background context (e.g., website content, product details)

Include Examples:

• Add at least 3 examples of existing content in your desired style

• Use original content from your company when possible. Include diverse examples to demonstrate content flexibility

Write Drafting Instructions:

• Start with a clear command sentence (e.g., "Write an engaging blog post...")

• Break down each content component (title, intro, body, etc.)

• Specify length, format, and special requirements

• Define how sources should be used (e.g., one link per bullet point, use direct quotes if provided with a transcript, etc)

Configure Inputs:

• Create a customizable form to gather necessary information

• Structure questions to focus on desired outcomes

• Include guidance on how inputs should be used

• When using examples, aim for around 20 to get optimal diversity and flexibility

• Structure input questions strategically; asking for "value proposition" rather than "product description" will yield more customer-focused content

• If output quality isn't meeting expectations, review each component using this checklist as a guide

• Remember that diverse examples help prevent the AI from mimicking a single piece too closely

What if I don't have original examples of the content I want to create?

You can use examples from other companies or sources that demonstrate the style and structure you're aiming for. While original examples are best, quality examples from any source will help guide the output.

Do I need to use all five template components?

While templates can work with fewer components, using all five (Voice, Knowledge, Examples, Instructions, and Inputs) will produce the best results and most consistent output.

How detailed should drafting instructions be?

Be as specific as possible. Break down each content component, specify formatting requirements, and explain how sources should be used. More detailed instructions lead to better outputs.
