There are two ways to generate content once you have accessed AI Companion in the whiteboard.

General Prompt

You can type a prompt for what you wish to be generated. You can specify the form you want it to take or be more general. AI Companion may not always generate it in the form you want it in (sticky notes, etc.).

Prompt: generate a list of 6 animals; AI output: text of six jungle animals

If you are happy with the output, select Insert to add it to the whiteboard. If you do not like the output, select Discard to delete it or Retry to regenerate. You can also select Refine to adjust the LengthTone, or can Translate To another language.

Specific Format Prompt

If you know exactly how you want your content to be formatted, you can specify how you want it  to appear by selecting the option for a diagram, text, table, sticky notes, a Kanban board, or cards.

Specific options such as flowcharts, sticky notes, and text

This will auto-populate a partial prompt, such as "Generate table for," which you then refine with specifics.
