Creating Content Overview
Creating content with Mavic
Mavic gives you three ways to create content. Pick the one that fits the moment.
The three ways
Method | When to use |
|---|---|
Type a prompt in chat | You know what you want. Fastest. |
Run a workflow | You want polished, structured output without writing the prompt. |
Start from an idea or holiday | You want Mavic to suggest the angle. |
All three end in the same place: an editable draft inside the chat that you can refine, schedule, or publish.
Method 1 — Type a prompt
Open Chats, write a clear instruction, click Send.
Better prompts produce better posts. Use this template:
[What you want] for [which channel] about [topic], written for@[Customer profile], in@[Writing style]. [Optional: include a CTA, reference a Product, or attach an image.]
Example:
Three Instagram captions for our spring sale, written for@Eco-conscious Millennial, in@Friendly Conversationalstyle. Include a soft CTA to shop now.
The @-tags pull in your saved Customer Profile and Writing Style. See Using @ to reference brand data.
Method 2 — Run a workflow
Workflows are guided forms. Click the workflow icon in the chat composer and pick from four categories:
Image Generation
- AI image creation (photorealistic, illustrated, branded)
- Product image variations
- Image edits
Video Generation
- Text-to-video (describe the scene, Mavic generates it)
- Image-to-video — animate a single image
- Image-to-video — first-and-last frame morph (select models only)
Great for Reels, TikToks, Shorts, and short-form ads. See Generating videos.
Content Creation
- Product Descriptions
- Facebook Post
- LinkedIn Posts
- Instagram (image, carousel, reel script, story, image-to-caption)
- Blog Posts
- Email Marketing
- Press Release
Each workflow asks for the right inputs (objective, tone, customer profile, platform, SEO keywords, etc.) and produces a structured prompt.
Customize Your Brand
- Writing Styles
- Customer Profiles
- Brand Positioning
- Brand Personality
- Ban List
These workflows live here for convenience but they ultimately update Brand DNA.
Ideate
- Social Media Plan
- Campaign Concepts
- Content Calendar Ideas
Use these when the page is blank and you need a starting point.
When you fill in a workflow form, the right-hand panel shows the generated prompt. You can edit it directly, then click Use Prompt to drop it into the chat. Click Send to run it.
Method 3 — Start from an idea or holiday
The Planner is a goldmine for content starters:
- Saved (starred) ideas — Mavic-generated or your own ideas you've kept
- Public holidays — country-specific, pulled in automatically
- Social holidays — quirky days (e.g. National Coffee Day) Mavic surfaces
From the Planner, click an idea or holiday and choose Create content from this. Mavic opens the chat with a pre-filled prompt referencing that starting point.
See Planning content with the Planner.
Picking which method when
- You're in a hurry, you know what you want → type a prompt.
- You want it to look polished without much thought → run a workflow.
- You don't know what to post → start from a saved idea or holiday.
- You're producing volume → use the Ideate workflow to generate a 4-week plan, then bulk-create from the planner.
