What are Blocks?
Blocks are an iterative prompting interface that allows you to collaborate with AI sidekicks to generate anything you want. This feature provides a flexible and powerful way to create content, conduct research, and refine ideas.
Blocks can be used for one-off tasks as well as things you always want to do, a best of both world situation. You can use them like you would a chat except that they are geared towards (re)production and far more capable than chat!
Prompt History
1. Prompt History Editing
Access and edit your prompt history by clicking the ‘clock arrow’ button in the top right corner, then selecting "History". This allows you to review and modify previous steps in your creative process
Replay by pressing the ‘circling arrows’ button

3. Replay and Adjust
You can replay prompt steps from the beginning, allowing you to change or adjust the context. This is particularly useful when you want to adapt your research or content for specific needs and/or different brands or markets.
4. Manual Editing
If you need to make corrections or changes, you can manually edit the output at any time. This gives you full control over the final content. Press the little pencil button
