Overview

Content Rules are pre-set instructions to customize content when you generate in bulk in Describely. 

Use them to tailor your product content's structure, length, tone of voice, language, and more to match your brand guidelines and sales platform requirements. 🎉

 

What you can customize
Below are some of the custom rule types Describely supports:


Here are a few key rules to help customize your content:

  • Brand tone: Customize your brand voice by entering descriptive adjectives, specifying your target audience, and more. You can also save time and AI Detect the tone from existing text! 
  • Restricted keywords: Create a list of specific words or phrases to avoid in your content. We even have one ready to go for Amazon.com!
  • Output language: Choose from any of our available languages. If you need content in multiple languages, simply clone your main ruleset and swap out the language! 
  • Description format: Choose whether your descriptions are written in one paragraph ('singletext') or multiple paragraphs 

    Note: To retain paragraph formatting when exporting content, you'll need to export your catalog as HTML. 
  • Title, description, meta title & meta description instructions: Set up command-style instructions to guide how the AI writes your content. Think how you might speak to an assistant or ChatGPT! 

Note: Check out this article for examples & best practices when writing custom instructions!

  • Bullet point configuration: Choose between 3-10 bullet points, customize their length, and instruct the AI on what to include in each.

Options to create your own rules

If a custom ruleset wasn't auto-created, there are a few ways to create one:

Tip: If you're a beginner, we recommend option #1. 😉

  1. Create from a sample or existing description: If you have an example of a high-quality product description, Describely will analyze it to create a custom, editable ruleset. 
  2. Create from scratch: This is recommended if you don't have a quality description yet and prefer to set up your own rules. We'll include Describely's default instructions to help you get started!
