Getting better results

Small habits that make a big difference across chat, images, and video.

Be specific, then iterate

Say what you actually want — subject, mood, style, constraints — instead of a vague one-liner. Then refine with follow-ups; every tool keeps context, so “colder lighting” or “make it shorter” builds on what you already have.

Match the model to the task

  • Everyday work → GLM 5.2. Needs to be exactly right → Opus 4.8 or ParleyX.
  • Reasoning over something huge → Gemini 3.1 Pro (1M-token window).
  • Private, free, simple text → an on-device local model.

Use references

Upload an image to edit it, match a style, or lock a character’s identity. For edits, name the exact region you want changed so the rest of the image stays real.
