Cora helps you draft, improve, and refine content inside Cambuildr.

If AI is not available yet, set it up first in Settings > AI.

Set up AI in CamBuildr

This article covers the basics. For the complete tour — every kind of thing Cora can build, configure and edit, with examples — see What Cora can do — the full feature guide.

Where to find Cora

When AI is enabled, you can use Cora in places where AI support is available in Cambuildr.

Depending on where you are working, Cora may appear:

  • In a sidebar chat panel

  • In the content editor for emails or landing pages

  • In the target audience and workflow builders

  • Behind the Cora button in the admin interface

  • Already open with an instruction typed in, when you follow a Cora link

What Cora can help with

You can use Cora to:

  • Draft new copy

  • Build and edit whole landing pages and emails, not just the text in them

  • Add and configure blocks — signup forms, donation blocks, surveys, countdowns, progress bars

  • Find an image in your media library, use one you attach, or generate a new one

  • Turn a plain-language description into target audience rules

  • Build automation workflows on the canvas

  • Use external content (such as PDFs or an existing webpage) to create a landing page or email

  • Rewrite content in a different tone

  • Translate content

  • Shorten or expand text

  • Improve headlines, calls to action, and subject lines

  • Turn rough notes into clearer copy

  • Suggest alternative versions to test

How to use Cora

A simple workflow works best:

  1. Open the page or email you want to work on

  2. Open Cora

  3. Describe what you want

  4. Review the result

  5. Ask for a revision if needed

Writing better prompts

The clearer your prompt, the better the result.

Try to include:

  • What you are creating

  • Who it is for

  • The tone you want

  • Any length or format preference

  • The action you want the reader to take

For example, instead of asking for "better copy," ask for something like:

  • A shorter version for supporters who already know the campaign

  • A warmer headline and CTA for a donation email

  • A clearer landing page intro focused on urgency and action

Day to day

A few things make working with Cora easier once you use her regularly:

  • Attach files. Drop an image, PDF, text, CSV, Markdown or JSON file into the chat and ask her to work from it — a screenshot of a design, a press release, or the copy you already wrote.

  • Checkpoints. Before a substantial change Cora saves a checkpoint. If you do not like the result, click Restore checkpoint in the chat and the content goes back to how it was.

  • Stop a run. If she heads in the wrong direction, stop the response and re-prompt. You do not have to wait for her to finish.

  • Each piece of content keeps its own conversation, so you can pick up tomorrow where you left off — or delete it and start fresh.

  • Give feedback. Thumbs up or down on any answer, with a sentence about what went wrong, genuinely feeds back into improving Cora.

Best practices

  • Ask for one clear task at a time

  • Use the "Plan first" mode for complex tasks

  • Give Cora the goal, audience, and tone

  • Use follow-up prompts to refine the draft

  • Treat the output as a draft, not a final version

  • Review everything before publishing

When to ask Cora for another version

Ask for a revision when you want:

  • A different tone

  • A shorter or longer version

  • Stronger calls to action

  • Simpler wording

  • A version tailored to a different audience

Things to keep in mind

  • Use the "Instructions" section in Settings > AI to define the general tone, define system wide goals or styling, tone guides. It will be included into the system instructions for every conversation.

  • Cora is strongest when you give clear direction

  • Short prompts can work, but specific prompts usually work better

  • Customer instructions in Settings > AI can help Cora stay aligned with your brand

  • Generating images uses AI credits, so point her at your media library first when a suitable image already exists

  • Always check facts, tone, and campaign fit before publishing
