A comprehensive guide to get the most out of Tavana
This Guide teaches the most important skill in AI usage: how to communicate with Tavana so it gives you powerful, accurate, and useful results.
Many people underestimate this but mastering prompting is like learning how to talk to a highly skilled assistant. The better you instruct it, the better it performs.
The Golden Rule of Using Tavana
Tavana is only as good as your instructions. If you give vague instructions, you get vague results.
If you give detailed instructions, you get professional-level results.
Provide Context
Tavana thrives on context.
Context = background + goals + constraints + details.
Think of it like hiring someone. You wouldn’t just say: “Make something.”
You’d say:
“Make me a logo for my donut shop targeting young adults with a playful, bright aesthetic.”
How to give context effectively
Include:
What you want
Why you want it
How you want it delivered
Any restrictions or preferences
Before & After Examples
❌ Weak Prompt:
“Write a product description.”
✅ Strong Prompt:
“Write a 120-word product description for a premium lavender-scented body butter.
Target: women ages 18–35 who like natural skincare.
Tone: luxurious, calming, spa-like.
Include 3 key benefits and a call-to-action.”
Be Specific Don’t Leave the AI Guessing
The more specific you are, the more accurate the output.
Be specific about:
-Tone
-Length
-Format
-Structure
-Audience
-Style
-Scope
Before & After
❌ “Write an email.”
(This will be too generic.)
✅ “Write a professional but friendly email to a customer apologizing for a late delivery. Keep it under 120 words.”
Specificity leads to precision.
Set the Role (Role Prompting)
One of the strongest prompting techniques is Role Prompting. You assign Tavana a role so it adjusts its thinking, tone, and expertise.
Examples:
“Act as a marketing director…”
“Act as a certified fitness trainer…”
“Act as a professional copywriter…”
“Act as a UX designer…”
“Act as my business coach…”
“Act as a university professor…”
Why this works:
LLMs can shift styles, knowledge depth, and vocabulary instantly when instructed.
Example Prompt:
“Act as a top-tier social media strategist. Create a 30-day Instagram content plan for a gourmet donut shop that wants to attract more students and young adults.”
Give Examples (Few-Shot Prompting)
If you want Tavana to match a style, show it an example.
Example:
“Write in this style: Short sentences, Playful tone, Modern slang, Emoji-friendly
This helps Tavana mimic and replicate your preferred tone or format.
Tell Tavana the Output Format
Tavana is incredibly powerful when you tell it how to organize the result.
Examples:
“Use bullet points.”
“Make a table.”
“Write step-by-step instructions.”
“Give me a script.”
“Turn this into a checklist.”
“Format as a lesson plan.”
This turns messy info into clean, structured content.
Multi-Step Instructions (Break Big Tasks into Parts)
For large or complex tasks, break them into steps like:
-Analyze
-Suggest options
-Create drafts
-Improve drafts
-Finalize
Example:
“Before writing anything, ask me 5 clarifying questions. Then create an outline. Then turn the outline into a final version.”
This avoids misunderstandings.
Define the Tone Clearly
The tone determines how the text “feels.”
Examples:
-Professional
-Formal
-Friendly
-Academic
-Conversational
-Motivational
-Humorous
-Corporate
-Gen-Z casual
Example prompt:
“Rewrite this paragraph in a friendly, helpful tone that sounds like Apple’s customer support.”
Define the Length Clearly
This is important because Tavana doesn’t automatically know:
-How long it should write
-How detailed you want the output
examples:
“Write 150 words.”
“Create a 4-sentence summary.”
“Keep it under 1 paragraph.”
“Give me a 2-page essay.”
Use Iteration
Don’t Try to Get It Right on the First Try Tavana works best through back-and-forth refinement.
Use a workflow like:
Ask for a draft
Review the output
Say what to change
Repeat
Finalize
Example:
“Shorten it. Make it more emotional. Remove the corporate language.”
You don’t need one perfect prompt, you can shape the output.
Use Constraints
Limitations Can Improve Quality, Tavana becomes sharper with limitations.
Examples:
“Use only simple words.”
“No jargon.”
“No more than 3 steps.”
“Do not mention pricing.”
“Avoid clichés.”
Constraints remove fluff.
Multi-Output Requests
You can ask for multiple versions at once:
“Give me 5 variations of this slogan.”
“Write 3 versions with different tones.”
“Give me 4 hooks with increasing creativity.”
This helps with quick comparison.
Handling Complex Topics
If a topic is tricky or vague:
Use these prompts:
“Define the key terms.”
“Explain assumptions.”
“List all possible interpretations.”
“Give me multiple angles on this topic.”
This gives clearer direction
Using Follow Up Questions
Never treat the first answer as final.
Ask follow-ups like:
“Make it funnier.”
“Give more detail.”
“Rewrite in simpler language.”
“Add real examples.”
“Expand the introduction.”
“Shorten this section.”
This is how professionals use AI.
Tell Tavana Your Goal
Instead of only telling what you want, explain why.
Example:
“I want to attract more customers. Create a compelling landing page headline.”
The AI can tailor solutions more effectively.
