AI Best Practices

For Better Suggestions

  • Provide context - More page content = better AI understanding
  • Use screenshots - Visual context improves recommendations

What AI Avoids

  • Salesy or pushy language
  • Marketing clichés and buzzwords
  • Overly formal or corporate tone
  • Introductory text or prefixes
  • Quotation marks around suggestions

What AI Focuses On

  • Casual, conversational language
  • Direct, benefit-focused messaging
  • Modern, authentic voice
  • Clear value propositions
  • Action-oriented copy

ABSPLITTEST AI is configured to write like “a friend recommending to another friend” - casual, helpful, and genuine. This approach typically performs better with modern audiences than traditional marketing copy.
