5. It is a conversation, not a single question.

Most people type one thing, get one response, and stop. That is like using a phone only for one-word texts.

You can go back and forth:

  • "Make that shorter."
  • "Too formal — more casual, please."
  • "Good, but add a sentence about my volunteer experience."
  • "Give me three different versions."

The chatbot is not offended by revision. The more you guide it, the better the result.
