Your context doesn't have to start with typing

The quality of any AI generation depends almost entirely on the quality of your context and how you instruct it. 

The good news is that you don't have to sit down and write it all from scratch, also, context doesn't have to be limited to text in illumi.

There are many ways to build context on illumi:

Write it in a Note Card. Not just text: you can drop in images, attach files, add tables, and structure it however you think. The AI works with all of it.

Pro tip: You can even leave "human only" messages using Remark block in the menu. 

Capture it on the go with WhatsApp. Send a text, voice note, or link to the illumi WhatsApp bot and it arrives on your canvas as a card, ready to use. Watch how →

Aggregate it from your team with Stickers. Ask your team to drop ideas on Stickers, group-select them, and choose "Create Note from Stickers." Everything merges into a single Note Card in one move.

Collect Notes from guests. Open the Share panel, enable the Collect Notes link, and send it to anyone. They fill in their input without needing an illumi account, and their responses land directly on your canvas. Watch a scenario here -> 

However your context arrives, the next step is the same: connect it to a Prompt Card and run it.

Try each one and notice how the Preprint changes depending on what you feed it. The context is the variable. The canvas is where you control it.

We're genuinely curious what works best for you. Feel free to reply and tell us which input method clicked!
