Building a flow: a virtual AI editorial office

Nowadays it is possible to employ AI for writing blog posts, email letters and what not. But straightforward approach may give the result that is far from ideal. To fix this and boost the quality we're going to gather an AI team that will help us write captivating texts. The team will consist of two authors, a proofreader, and a leader, who will choose the final result. As an example, we'll take the case of writing a text about a consumer product. The text should be fit for the product website, marketing materials, and so on and so forth.

Video version of this tutorial is available as well

Go to the Flow and click the "Create" button.
It's a good practice to store all your input data in a single node. Start by typing user input in the search bar of the left panel. Locate User-Defined Input Form and drag it to the workspace.
This node has no pre-configured fields, so we should set them ourselves. Dive into the node’s settings and select Configure Fields.
Add a field and name it product. We will put basic info about our product here. Don't forget to click the Save button
Return to the User-Defined Input Form node. Let's say, our product is a makeup kit for teenagers. Type the text "makeup kit for teens" into the Product input of the node
Hit the Execute button and then click Save and execute to run this node and generate the custom output. We need it to move further.
Now let's start gathering our team. To hire the first author start typing chatgpt processor in the left panel and drag a ChatGPT Processor node to your workspace.
Go to settings of the ChatGPT Processor node. You can choose ChatGPT versions with the Model dropdown. Let's choose gpt-4 for its advanced writing capabilities.
Now it's time to prepare ChatGPT for receiving instructions. In the settings, go to Messages section, click on a pencil and a new message
Change the type of the message to System as recommended by OpenAI to emphasize that it's a high-level instruction and to guide the model's behaviour
Paste the text of your instruction to the Message field. Here's mine, you can modify it freely or come up with your own: You are an experienced author of marketing texts who likes the most specific and meaningful pieces. You have presented hundreds of successful products.
A client comes to you with a request. He needs to create a description of their product for a marketplace. The description should be brief, but able to catch customer's attention. Focus on the advantages of the product and the advantages of its use.
2 scenarios are possible:
1. if the client sends only the name of their product, then the description must be written fully from the very beginning;
2. if the client sends a ready-made description, then it is only needed to correct it if necessary; all specific factual data about the product must be left unchanged.
You should give only a description of the product as a result, without any introductory words.
We're not done here yet! We need to get data from the User-Defined Input Form. Add another message (there's no need to change the message type this time)
Here things will become a little bit tricky. Due to the syntax of the ChatGPT Processor node we will need to use Expression editor. Click on the # symbol in the lower Message field
You'll get the Expression editor. There is a list of the nodes on the left. Click on the User-Defined Input Form to see its output
Drag the product output to the expression field
The result should look like this
Click the Save button in the Expression editor and don't forget to click top-right Save as well before leaving the settings
Connect the output of your User-Defined Input Form and the input of the ChatGPT Processor.
We can add notes that help us to navigate through the flow and can store any additional info like comments. There will be two virtual writers, so in order to not mess things up let's add a note. Right-click on your workspace somewhere near to the ChatGPT Processor node and choose Add note
As our instruction states, ChatGPT should assume a role of the author who values specific and meaningful texts the most. So let's write on the sticker something akin Author #1: precise and specific
To add another author we should repeat basically the same actions: a. drag another ChatGPT Processor node to the workspace; b. connect the product output of the User-Defined Input Form with the input of this ChatGPT Processor node; c. go to the Settings of the node and change the model version (preferably); d. without leaving the Settings, add a message and change its type to System; e. paste the instruction for the second virtual author — obviously, it should be somehow different from the instruction given to the first author; for example, here's mine: You are a brilliant marketing professional who makes short but vivid descriptions for any product. You have presented hundreds of successful products.
A client comes to you with a request. He needs to create a description of their product for a marketplace. The description should be brief, but able to catch customer's attention. Focus on the advantages of the product and the advantages of its use.

2. if the client sends a ready-made description, then it is only needed to correct it if necessary; all specific factual data about the product must be left unchanged.
You should give only a description of the product as a result, without any introductory words. f. add another message and using the Expression editor refer to the data from the User-Defined Input Form; g. (optional) add a note about the second author. If you're a little lost, be sure to scroll this guide a little bit back. There are detailed instructions for all these actions starting from the guide item #7 Your workspace should look like that at this point:
And the insides of the second ChatGPT Processor node — like that:
We need to run our workflow before moving any further. Hit the Start button on the top panel and choose Save and execute when prompted
Let's add a proofreader to check the generated texts and correct them if necessary. Yet again, it's more or less the same routine — refer to items 7-10 of this guide for the detailed description of the actions: a. add the third ChatGPT Processor to your workspace; b. connect the Success outputs of both "authors" to the input of this node;
c. change the model version in the settings to gpt-4; d. add a System message like that:
You are a highly skilled proofreader. Your tasks are:
- carefully read 2 product descriptions;
- remove all spelling, punctuation or stylistic errors or inaccuracies from the text;
- remove all dubious or incomprehensible comparisons;
- remove excessive marketing cliches, make the text easy, understandable and pleasant;
- be very strict in the selection of material, it is better to remove more than to leave bad material.
e. add another message and open the Expression editor; f. drag success outputs of both "author's" nodes to the expression field
g. place the expressions that you get on different lines and enumerate them
Don't forget to save everything!
Run the "proofreader" node by clicking the Execute button on it
And finally, let's bring in the product owner. It's their responsibility to choose the best text. It's ChatGPT Processor again, so please refer the guide starting from item #7 if needed a. add the fourth ChatGPT Processor to your workspace; b. connect the Success output of the "proofreader" node with the input of this node; c. change the model version in the settings to gpt-4; d. add a System message like that: You are a successful seller of goods on the marketplace, the editor will now send you a description of the audience and 2 text options.
Your task is to choose the best text that will increase your sales. The text should catch the audience as much as possible. Write out only the text itself. If suddenly there are errors or strange words in the final text, correct them. e. add another message and using the Expression editor drag the success output of the third ChatGPT Processor to the expression field;
Make sure you've clicked the Save buttons!
Hooray, let's see the choice. Hit the Execute button on the "product owner" node
Nice! Now we can copy this final text and use it on our website, or as a product description on a marketplace

Once you have the workflow built, there's no need to run nodes one by one anymore. Simply change the product text in the User-Defined Input Form and use the Start button on the top bar
