Instructions for your AI writer

Apply AI-powered improvements across your entire knowledge base — without editing articles one by one.

Overview

Instructions View lets you define how Ariglad's AI should improve your knowledge base articles. Write a plain-language instruction once — and Ariglad applies it across your content, generating suggestions you can review before anything goes live.

You stay in full control: no changes are published without your approval.


What Are Instructions?

An instruction is a plain-language directive that tells Ariglad how to update your articles. Instructions are reusable, easy to manage, and applied consistently across your content.

Common examples:

  • Replace "Help Center" with "Knowledge Base" across all articles

  • Make the tone more conversational and less technical

  • Add a brief summary at the start of each article

  • Simplify sentences written above a Grade 8 reading level

  • Fix grammatical errors and inconsistent punctuation


When to Use Instructions View

Instructions View is ideal when you need to:

  • Standardize tone or style across a large article library

  • Roll out a rebrand or terminology change at scale

  • Improve readability and clarity without manual rewrites

  • Fix recurring grammar or formatting issues

  • Apply consistent structural changes (e.g., adding summaries or headers)


How to Create an Instruction

Setting up an instruction takes under a minute:

  1. Navigate to Instructions in the Ariglad sidebar.

  2. Enter your instruction in plain language (e.g., "Make the tone more professional").

  3. Click Save. Ariglad will immediately begin generating suggestions based on your instruction.

💡 Tip: The more specific your instruction, the better the suggestions. "Simplify sentences over 25 words" will produce more consistent results than "Make it simpler."


Reviewing Suggestions

Once Ariglad generates suggestions, you can review each one before it's published:

  • Each suggestion shows a side-by-side comparison of the original and proposed change.

  • Review as many or as few suggestions as you like — there's no pressure to action everything at once.

For each suggestion, choose one of the following:

  • Approve — publishes the change to the article.

  • Reject — discards the suggestion with no changes made.


Managing Instructions

You can return to Instructions View at any time to:

  • Edit an existing instruction to refine how it's applied

  • Disable instructions you no longer need

  • Create new instructions as your content strategy evolves

Think of Instructions View as a living system — it grows and adapts alongside your knowledge base.


Best Practices

  • Be specific. Vague instructions produce inconsistent suggestions. The more precise the directive, the better the output.

  • Start broad, then go granular. Begin with high-impact improvements like tone and clarity before moving to fine-grained rules.

  • Review suggestions regularly. Staying on top of approvals keeps your knowledge base fresh and prevents a backlog.

  • Test with a small scope first. Before applying a sweeping change, check a few suggestions to confirm they match your intent.
