What to ask for
Ask for the outcome. The assistant chooses the tools, and will usually check its work before telling you it is done.
Make a template
Make me a certificate of completion. Our colours, the student's name large in the middle, the course name and date underneath.
It reads your brand kit, drafts the design, validates it, fixes anything the validator flags, and previews it. Previews are free, so it can iterate.
You get a template in your account and a preview image. Nothing has been rendered for real and no credit has been spent.
Change one
The name is too close to the border. Move it down and make the course name smaller.
It fetches the current design, edits it, and previews again.
Render documents
Generate certificates for these twelve students.
Twelve renders, twelve credits. An assistant will normally confirm a number this size first, but it is your account — be specific about how many.
Each comes back with a link you can share.
Set up a link that renders on demand
Create a Dynamic URL for the certificate template so our system can build links itself.
You get one permanent address plus a signing secret. Your own code builds links from it, and nothing calls us until someone opens one.
See Dynamic URLs for the signing details.
Collect and generate
Make a form that asks for a name and a course, and generate a certificate from every submission.
It creates the form, connects it to the template, maps the fields, and publishes it. You get a link to share.
Wire up a notification
Tell my app at https://example.com/hooks whenever a certificate finishes.
It creates the webhook and sends a test delivery so you can see the payload shape before anything real fires.
Being specific pays
Vague in, vague out — the same as with a person.
| Instead of | Ask |
|---|---|
| "Make it look better" | "More space between the name and the border, and a lighter grey for the date" |
| "Generate certificates" | "Generate certificates for these three, using the Cohort 2026 template" |
| "Set up automation" | "Generate a certificate whenever someone submits the enrolment form" |
What it will refuse
It cannot delete a template, run a bulk job, or write a Word document body. Those live in the dashboard, deliberately — see Tools.
