Tutorial Overview

This tutorial teaches you how to work with Flik's AI agent effectively. Through five exercises, you'll learn different types of requests, understand agent capabilities, and develop good prompting habits.

Exercise 1: File Organization Request

Goal: Learn how the agent handles file operations

Try this:

"Create folders for Finance, Marketing, and Design. Move any existing files into appropriate folders."

Observe:

  • Agent creates folders
  • Organizes files logically
  • Confirms what it did

Key learning: Agent can manipulate files autonomously.

Exercise 2: Content Creation

Goal: Generate structured content

Try this:

"Create a project brief document for launching a new product. Include sections for: overview, target audience, timeline, budget, and success metrics."

Observe:

  • Agent creates document
  • Structures it with proper sections
  • Fills in placeholder content

Key learning: Agent understands document structure and formatting.

Exercise 3: Multi-Step Workflow

Goal: Let agent handle complex tasks

Try this:

"I need product photography for my coffee mug. Create 5 photos: white background for Amazon, hero shot, detail of handle, lifestyle on desk, and overhead view."

Observe:

  • Agent plans the photoshoot
  • Generates each photo type
  • Organizes them in a folder

Key learning: Agent breaks down complex requests into steps.

Exercise 4: Using Context

Goal: Reference existing files

First, generate an image:

"Modern minimalist logo design"

Then reference it:

"Create 3 social media posts using @logo with consistent brand aesthetic"

Key learning: Use @mentions to reference files for context.

Exercise 5: Iteration and Refinement

Goal: Improve results through iteration

Start broad:

"Create a mood board for modern tech startup"

Then refine:

"Make it more professional and less playful"

Continue refining:

"Add more blue tones, reduce the orange"

Key learning: Iterate to perfect results rather than expecting perfection immediately.

Best Practices

Be specific:

  • "Create 10-slide deck" vs "Make a presentation"
  • "Modern Scandinavian style" vs "Nice design"

Provide context:

  • Upload reference images
  • Mention target audience
  • Share relevant files

Break down complex tasks:

  • Request step-by-step
  • Review each step
  • Adjust before continuing

Use feedback loops:

  • Generate → Review → Request changes → Repeat

💡 Agent as Partner: Think of the AI as a capable assistant, not a mind reader. The more context and specificity you provide, the better the results.
