Smart Instructions

Overview

Smart Instructions are a feature of Pages that allows you to describe the content you want Driver to generate for you. Here's how to use Smart Instructions.

Create a Smart Instruction

1. Ensure you have added at least one source to your page.

2. Type the / key on the start of any blank line in a page to view the Command Menu.
   
   

   

   
   

3. Select Smart Instruction from the list of commands.
   
   

   

Write an Instruction

1. Add a description of the content you want Driver to generate in the new smart instruction prompt window.
   
   

   

   
   

2. Click Add instruction to add the instruction to the page.

A good smart instruction prompt is succinct and unambiguous. Smart instructions typically work best if you focus on generating a single section of a document at at time.

Run a Smart Instruction

Click Run to generate content from the smart instruction.

If you have more than one Smart Instruction added to the page, you can select Run all from the top right of the Page to run them all in parallel.

It will take approximately 10-15 seconds before you see a preview of the generated content.

Edit an Instruction

1. After an instruction has been added to the page, click on the pencil icon to edit the existing prompt.

2. Make any edits you want to the prompt.
   
   

   

   
   

3. Click Run instruction to regenerate the content based on the new edits.
   
   

   

You will typically edit and re-run a smart instruction to steer the output in the direction you want. This could be to refine the specificity, change the output format, or even instruct Driver on what content not to include.

View in Full Screen

1. Click the Full screen button to view a larger preview of the generated content.

2. Click the esc key to exit the full screen view.

Edit Generated Content

Manually edit the generated content from the preview window.

It can be easy to forget that you have full control over the generated content and are free to manually edit it at any time. This is true for content that you are viewing from the preview shown above or after it has been inserted into the Page. It's best to think of the raw generated content as a rough draft. If you want to reword a sentence, change the heading level, or remove an item from a list, it can be faster to do this manually rather than re-running slightly different prompts to make minor edits.

Edits made in full screen mode will not persist when you revert back to the smaller preview window. For these changes to persist, you must insert the content directly from the full screen view.

View Smart Instruction References

1. Click on any references listed with the generated content to show a preview of the reference content.
   
   

   

   
   

2. Click on the Open button on the reference preview to view the actual reference. This will open the corresponding reference material in a new browser tab.

References are a powerful feature that shows you where in the Page sources Driver has found the information used to generate content from a Smart Instruction. The list is ordered in decreasing relevance, so you can typically focus on the first few. If you notice references that are not relevant to your prompt, you can try to re-word it to be more specific or consider using the tuning feature to remove these references from the Page context. If there is a reference that you want to make sure Driver uses, you can call that out specifically in the prompt. It can helpful to wrap file names, paths, and keywords in quotes to signal this to Driver.

Discard Smart Instruction

Click the Discard button to completely delete the smart instruction and remove it from the page.

Insert Smart Instruction

Click the Insert button to add the generated content into the page.

Inserting the generated content will add all of the text in the preview window into the Page and remove the Smart Instruction. Keep in mind that you can always use cmd + z to walk back through the steps listed above.
