New generation workflow

In May, we released a new, more intuitive workflow for our product – “TFGF” (template-first generation flow).

Whereas the old flow required writing instructions before selecting what to write, the new flow starts by selecting the use case (i.e. template) first before writing instructions and generating.

The template-first flow paves the way for numerous exciting AI-powered improvements which couldn’t take place with the old flow.

Web app UI

We also updated the web app’s writing UI to reflect the new workflow in the extension.

Fixes & improvements

UI updates

• Embedded the onboarding tutorial to the extension so that it’s easily available from the bookmark

• Redesigned the alternatives section in the extension, making them appear better

• Removed unnecessary navigation arrows from the first and last step of the tutorial in the onboarding flow
• Optimized the new integrations page in the web app for small screen sizes
• Changed the texts in the extension installation pop-up in the onboarding
• Fixed a missing margin in custom templates’ edit window

Improvements

• Created category filtering functionality for the template import step in the onboarding
• Made a dynamic text change in the template import button in the onboarding flow
• Increased the character limit of the role field in identity setting from 20 to 40
• Made our form validations in the identity field less “aggressive”
• Started addressing users inputting “NA” and other suboptimal text to important identity fields
