Choose Chat for a Focused Task
Use chat to resolve specific editorial tasks. Keep the evidence and acceptance criteria explicit rather than relying on conversational confidence.
Use chat when you need a specific answer, transformation, or editorial discussion. Examples include summarizing an attached source, comparing two outline options, identifying missing questions, or revising a paragraph without changing its meaning. Keep the expected output clear enough to assess.
Choose KoalaWriter when your main task is a complete structured article. The two workflows can complement each other, but repeated chat instructions should not become an improvised substitute for a sound brief and outline.
Start from the Koala AI platform guide if you are unsure where the task belongs. Decide what information the conversation needs and what should remain outside it, particularly confidential business or client material.
Use Commands With Clear Inputs
Koala's command documentation lists tools for tasks including source questions, search results, headings, metadata, and schema. Use the current command list rather than assuming an old command or billing rule still applies.
A command is most useful when the input and question are narrow. Asking a source tool which restriction appears in a specific document is easier to verify than asking it to decide the entire best-product recommendation from a vague topic.
Inspect the returned source, URL, date, and scope. A summary should preserve qualifications. If a document discusses one product tier, the answer should not generalize the restriction or capability to every account.
Build a Research-to-Brief Workflow
Begin with the reader's question, collect suitable documents, and ask for a structured summary of the relevant facts. Then organize the supported material into an outline. Keep research notes and editorial recommendations visibly separate in your private working record.
For example, a pricing brief needs billing frequency, plan limits, and consumption assumptions. Ask which of those the documents support and which remain unresolved. This prevents a fluent comparison from hiding gaps in the evidence.
Move the completed direction into a content brief before generating the article. The final brief should be readable without requiring someone else to reconstruct the entire chat history.
| Task | Useful Input | Acceptance Check |
|---|---|---|
| Source summary | Document and specific question | Qualifications preserved |
| Outline review | Reader, goal, current headings | Main answer and gaps identified |
| Paragraph revision | Text and factual boundaries | Meaning unchanged |
| Metadata drafting | Finished article and limits | Accurate description and length |
| Schema preparation | Visible page facts | No unsupported entities or claims |

Edit Without Changing the Facts
When revising, supply the paragraph, the desired improvement, and the facts that must remain unchanged. Ask for shorter wording, clearer sequence, or a more direct explanation rather than a general request to make it better.
Compare the revision with the original evidence. An editor can accidentally remove a caveat, alter a price unit, or turn a possibility into a promise. Keep material restrictions in the sentence even when the shorter version sounds more persuasive.
Use the editing guide to separate structural changes from sentence polish. If the argument is wrong or incomplete, improving tone will not solve it. Request a targeted correction and check the result before continuing.
Watch Shared Credits and Sensitive Inputs
Koala's current pricing documentation describes platform credits shared across supporting products. Command and external-data activity may have different consumption rules, so review the displayed rates and your usage record when budgeting a repeated workflow.
Reduce avoidable repetition by preparing complete inputs. Asking the same broad question several times without new evidence can consume allowance without improving the answer. Keep the brief, sources, and required format together when starting a task.
Avoid sending material you are not authorized to share. For business context, provide only the facts needed for the task. Check the service's current data policies before using confidential records, and keep credentials out of prompts and article drafts.
