🛠️ Using Sardor AI [Instructions]

Using Sardor, you can integrate AI-generated content in the following places:

Cover letter template
Client response templates. To learn how to use Sardor AI for tailored responses to both frequent and unique client questions, see What is Default Answer Template and Most Frequent Questions?.

To prompt Sardor AI to incorporate AI-generated content, you simply need to enclose the text you want Sardor to substitute within a designated [placeholder]. To learn about the kind of [placeholders] that you can use, see Sardor AI Prompt Library.

For example, adding the below instruction, will include an introduction every time a new cover letter is generated:

[Write a personalized greeting, using the client's name or company name (if provided), in their local language and incorporating intentional typos and minor grammar errors to add that human touch]

✔️ Do’s and 🚫 Don'ts when using Sardor AI

The instructions can be inserted in any part of the cover letter and answer templates.

As powerful as Sardor AI is, it comes with its own set of limitations. Understanding these issues can help you use Sardor AI more effectively. To prevent unexpected mutations (unplanned changes in your cover letters outside the [placeholders]), here are a few simple rules to follow. To learn how to write prompts, see ✍ How to write an effective prompt for Sardor AI?.

✔️ Do

🚫 Don’t do

👉 Keep your cover letters concise, even parts with or without prompts.

👉 Provide very clear instructions to Sardor AI.

👉 Avoid overloading your cover letter with too many prompts/instructions.

👉 Avoid long links (which might even deter customers - who likes to open unknown links?).

👉 Cover Letter Length - keep them short, because shorter cover letters tend to receive more replies. The longer ones tend to have a lower lead response rate because they are more substantial, harder to read, and contain numerous links.

❌ Do not ask Sardor AI to solve puzzles: Do not ask Sardor AI to solve puzzles within the cover letter. It already comes equipped to handle client's anti-bot checks.

Just a quick context: we see under "puzzle" specific words or tasks that customers on Upwork usually ask to make sure that you will read their requirements. Such as "Write Banana on the top of your cover letter to showcase you read and understand fully".

In such cases, Sardor will write it by default in the response.

💡 For example:

👔 Client:

🤖 Sardor AI:

❌ Do not ask Sardor AI to add information that is not available.

For example, if you write a prompt to Sardor such as:

[Tell the customer how I'm strong in completing React.js projects]

Sardor doesn't know this unless it is explicitly stated on the freelancer’s profile or in the instructions. It just takes the versatile answer from our database of proposals and OpenAI (where it has been trained) and will give a really generic, or possibly untrue, answer. Like "I'm strong with React for a 6/10 scale", although it may not be the expected outcome.

Another example of an incorrect instruction would be mentioning pronouns that may confuse Sardor.

For example, an instruction like [Tell the client how relevant I am] or [emphasize our experience in the matter] will confuse Sardor as it has no information about these pronouns.
