A useful direction.

An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps people make a long article easier to scan and turn an initial visual idea into a clearer brief.

  1. Understand the request

    Identify whether the person wants help with an article or wants to develop a visual concept, and ask for missing context when needed.

  2. Review the supplied article

    Use the article the requester provided and retain its title and source so the summary can be checked against the original.

  3. Prepare a concise summary

    Bring forward the main ideas and important qualifications without presenting the summary as a substitute for the source.

  4. Clarify a visual concept

    Turn the person’s description into a clear written image brief, preserving their intended subject, style, and details.

  5. Verify before wider sharing

    Have a person check the source and wording and approve the exact content and audience before forwarding or publishing it.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A concise, source-linked summary or a written visual prompt for the requester to review.

The handoff

A concise, source-linked summary or a written visual prompt for the requester to review.

Keep in mind

A summary may omit qualifications or misstate a source, and an image prompt is not the same as a finished image. Check important claims against the original, respect access and reuse limits, and have a person approve the exact content and audience before it is forwarded or used externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the requests this service supports

Define what kinds of articles and visual ideas are appropriate and when a request should be handled by a person.

Choose the preferred length and make clear that source material remains authoritative when detail or nuance matters.

Respect source access and reuse limits

Use material the requester is allowed to access and set expectations for quoting or sharing its contents.

Assign content reviewers

Name who checks summaries or prompts before they are sent to a wider audience or included in public content.

Put your next idea to work.
