Why did we create content palettes?
The simple answer is to give you control over the AI assistant and what it writes. The more precise your inputs, the better your AI assistant's outputs will be.
As you write more grant proposals and the amount of content in your library grows, it becomes harder and harder for your AI assistant to guess which specific excerpts to use when drafting text. No matter how smart AI gets, there is still so much real world context you know, that it doesn't.
We needed a way to allow people to quickly and easily guide the AI to use specific selections of text for different situations in a grant application. That's why we created content palettes.
What is a content palette?
Content palettes are selections of files and phrases from your content library that you create to give to your AI assistant as source material.
Think about the AI like a personal chef, and the content palette is like a basket of ingredients. You can ask the chef to make any dish, and it will taste the best if you provide the right ingredients.
Likewise, when working on a grant application, the AI works best when it is provided with suitable writing samples for each particular part of the application you're working on.

How do I use content palettes effectively?
Name your palettes
Give your palettes descriptive names that tell you and others on your team what they contain.
Create palettes for specific needs
Begin working on a grant application and create your first palette as a more general purpose palette. Most grant applications begin by asking for broad information about your organization.
As you encounter questions requesting more specific information, create new and more specifically focused palettes to address them.
Soon, you'll have created most of the palettes you'll frequently need, at which point you can start reusing the palettes you've already created.
Switch between palettes
It's a great idea to have a few palettes open when working on a grant application so that you can try using different palettes to draft text. You can think about it like having multiple AI assistants, each specializing in a particular way of writing, and you can sample and decide which bits to use or discard.
Switching is simple, just click on the tab for the palette you wish to use.
