Use Chat on the right side for quick edits and brainstorming, such as: * Remove unnecessary formatting (like asterisks or extra spaces). * Insert a direct quote from the context (especially useful for YouTube videos). * Research 30 viral hooks related to my post. * Regenerate drafts to get many variations.
*** ### Add Images or Videos Visuals often boost engagement, and Contouron makes it easy to add them. Platforms like Tiktok, Instagram, and Youtube REQUIRE your post to have images/videos. You can: ✅ Upload your own images or videos. ✅ Generate AI-powered images or videos. Click "Add Media" to add images or videos:
If you want an eye-catching image for your LinkedIn post, click "Generate Realistic Image", and Contouron will make one in a few moments.

*** ### Bonus Tips for Better Content Quality * **Personalize Your Posts:** AI-generated content is a great starting point, but adding your own insights, experiences, and opinions makes your content way more authentic and stand out. * **Use Platform-Specific Formatting:** LinkeiIn posts may benefit from bullet points, while Instagram captions should include engaging hooks and hashtags. Experiment a lot and observe what the top creators in your industry are having success with. * **Experiment With Different Styles:** If a draft post doesn’t feel right, regenerate it using different prompts to see what works best. I personally generate at least 5 drafts, then choose the best one and start tweaking it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
