AI is powerful, but it works best when you guide it well. Here are proven techniques for getting better results from Clyro.
1. Start Simple, Then Refine
Instead of trying to get everything perfect in one prompt, take an iterative approach:
- 1.Make a basic change first
- 2.Review the result
- 3.Make follow-up adjustments
- 4.Repeat until satisfied
Example iteration:
1. "Add an announcement bar"
2. "Make the announcement bar background dark blue"
3. "Add a dismiss button to the announcement bar"
4. "Center the text in the announcement bar"
2. Use Reference Points
Help Clyro identify elements by referencing visible content:
- •The button that says "Add to Cart"
- •The section with the customer reviews
- •The menu item labeled "Shop"
- •The image slider at the top of the page
3. Be Specific About Values
When you have specific requirements, include exact values:
4. Preview Before Applying
Always check the preview before applying changes:
- •Test on desktop, tablet, and mobile views
- •Navigate to different pages to see the impact
- •Look for unintended side effects
- •Verify the change matches your expectation
Remember: Previewing is free. You only use credits when you apply changes.
5. Learn From History
Your edit history is a learning resource:
- •See what prompts worked well
- •Identify patterns in successful edits
- •Reuse phrasing that got good results
6. Don't Fight the AI
If Clyro keeps misunderstanding, try a different approach:
- •Rephrase using different words
- •Break the request into smaller parts
- •Use more or less detail
- •Try the Advanced model for complex requests
7. Use Natural Language
You don't need to speak in code or technical terms:
Both of these work:
Technical: "Set font-weight to 700 on h1 elements"
Natural: "Make the main headings bold"
8. Provide Context When Helpful
Sometimes context improves results:
"I'm running a sale next week, add a countdown timer that ends on Friday at midnight"
"My brand colors are navy and gold, update the buttons to match"
9. Ask for Alternatives
If you're not sure what you want, ask for options:
"Show me 3 different ways to style the product price"
10. Use Checkpoints
Before major changes, create a checkpoint:
- 1.Go to History
- 2.Click "Create Checkpoint"
- 3.Name it something memorable
- 4.Now experiment freely!
This gives you a safe point to return to if experiments don't work out.
