Troubleshooting & Pro Tips
TL;DR
Learn common mistakes to avoid and pro tips to get better results faster. Quality output starts with quality inputs, proper iteration, and understanding what works best for your content type.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
🔒 Make Copy Button / AI Suggestions Disabled
What it means: Required fields are not filled in. The system needs all three core fields before generation can begin.
What you'll see: Gray/disabled Make Copy button and all lightning bolt (⚡) suggestion buttons with "cursor-not-allowed" on hover.
Solution - ALL THREE fields required:
- Project Description: Used for session tracking - fill with descriptive name like "Landing page for SaaS trial users"
- Product/Service Name: Exact name of what you're promoting (e.g., "TaskMaster Pro")
- Business Description (Make New mode): What you do, who you serve, why you're unique (100-300 words)
- Original Copy (Improve mode): The existing text you want to improve
Why all three? Project Description enables session tracking so you can find your work later. Product/Service Name ensures accurate content. Business Description/Original Copy provides the core context for AI generation.
⚠️ "Model Not Available" Error
What it means: The AI model you selected is not available (missing or invalid API key configuration).
What you'll see: A modal notification showing "[Model Name] not available now."
Solution: The modal automatically displays all currently available models. Click any available model to switch immediately and continue working. No manual configuration needed.
Pro tip: If you consistently need a specific model, ensure its API key is properly configured in your .env file.
❌ Vague Input Descriptions
Bad Example:
"Website copy for my business"
✓ Good Example:
"Landing page hero for sustainable meal delivery service targeting busy professionals in Austin, TX"
Fix: Be specific about product, audience, location, and content type.
❌ Generic Target Audience
Bad Example:
"Everyone" or "Businesses"
✓ Good Example:
"Marketing directors at B2B SaaS companies with 50-200 employees, frustrated with attribution tracking"
Fix: Include demographics, job titles, pain points, and specific context.
❌ Settling for First Version
Problem: Accepting the first generated output without iteration.
Fix: Always create at least 1-2 alternatives. First version is rarely the best version. Use Compare feature to evaluate objectively.
❌ Using Wrong AI Model
Problem: Using DeepSeek for 8,000-word content (exceeds token limit) or GPT-4o for simple social posts (overkill).
Fix: Match model to content importance and length:
- • DeepSeek: Quick drafts, social posts, bullets (under 6,000 words)
- • GPT-4o: Landing pages, important emails, sales copy
- • ChatGPT-4o Latest: Mission-critical homepage heroes, major campaigns
❌ Ignoring Output Structure
Problem: Not defining structure, getting disorganized output.
Fix: Use Output Structure picker to define exact sections (H1, paragraphs, bullets, CTA). Drag to reorder for desired flow.
❌ Not Using Special Instructions
Problem: Leaving Special Instructions blank when you have specific requirements.
Fix: Add constraints like "Use British English", "Avoid jargon", "Include specific certification XYZ", "Keep sentences under 15 words".
❌ Applying Voice Styles Too Early
Problem: Applying voice styles before creating alternatives.
Fix: Generate → Create 2-3 alternatives → Then apply voice styles. Voice styles work best on already-good content.
❌ Not Saving Good Work
Problem: Closing browser without saving, losing all outputs.
Fix: Click "Save Output" before closing. Save iterations as you go for version history. Export JSON for important configurations.
Pro Tips for Better Results
Specific Inputs = Better Outputs
"E-commerce business" → "Sustainable fashion e-commerce for Gen Z" = 3x better quality
Budget 20 Minutes for Iteration
First version is rarely final. Plan time for alternatives, modifications, and comparison.
Use Templates for Recurring Content
Save 5-10 minutes per project by loading pre-configured templates for product pages, emails, social posts.
Compare Before Choosing
Your gut isn't always right. Let AI compare versions objectively based on your goals.
Learn from Output Patterns
Note which input combinations produce your best results. Refine your approach over time.
Enable SEO for Web Content
Get automatic meta descriptions, URL slugs, and heading variants for landing pages and blog posts.
Generate 2-3 Alternatives Before Styling
More options to blend later. Apply voice styles after you have multiple good versions.
