The requests that work best are around 21 words and carry context; the ones most people write are under 9. The difference is almost never a magic word: it’s telling the assistant what you want, who it’s for, and in what format.
You can write your request in English. The product interface and the assistant’s answers are currently in Portuguese, so the reply comes back in Portuguese unless you ask for English.
A good request, taken apart
Here’s a real request from a sales team’s week:
It works because it has three parts:
Three tips that solve almost everything
The result can go beyond text and images. Ask “explain this plan visually” or “build a simulator where I can change the values.” To open and explore a page in the conversation, add “deliver it as an interactive file.” Open it from its card in the chat; you don’t need to know a technical format. Explore five ways to create visual experiences, with demonstrations and requests to copy.
- Talk the way you’d talk to someone on your team. There’s no secret command. Write it the way you’d explain the task to someone who joined the company yesterday.
- Say what you want to get back. A table, a five-line summary, an email ready to send, a list of points to watch: when you don’t say, the assistant picks for you.
- Iterate: the first result is a draft. Ask for adjustments in the same conversation (“make it shorter”, “drop the jargon”, “add a column with price per square meter”) instead of starting over.
The first result didn’t come out the way you wanted? You don’t have to rewrite everything in a new message. Hover over your request and click the pencil to fix it, or click Regenerar (Regenerate) on the answer to get a different version. In both cases the new answer takes the place of the previous one, and if there are messages after it Morada OS warns you before replacing them. To try a different path without losing anything, use Bifurcar daqui (Fork from here) in the message’s … menu: it opens a new conversation and leaves the original untouched.
If typing out all that context feels like work, use the microphone button next to the message box and say your request out loud. What you say becomes text in the draft, for you to review before sending.
When you ask for an image, the format part becomes the destination: say “it’s for an Instagram story” or “it’s for a poster” and the artwork comes out in the right proportion, with no cropping afterwards. Everything else works the same, iterating included. The recipe Create the artwork for an Instagram post walks through it. When in doubt, ask the assistant itself for help. Write “Improve this request: [your request]” and it gives you back a fuller version that you can adjust and use.
