Flyers

Make a flyer from text

A description is not a wish. It is the content of the finished flyer, because the writer is told to treat your words as the source of truth and is barred from filling gaps with invented specifics. So the honest question is not how good the AI is, it is how much you told it.

The brief box. A sentence is enough, and detail is what buys you a better first draft.

One line gives you a poster with holes in it

Type "yoga class flyer" and the design still arrives complete, because the layout was drawn by a person. What arrives thin is the content. Optional slots with nothing genuine behind them are dropped rather than padded, so the price strip, the timetable line and the contact row simply are not there. The flyer looks finished and says almost nothing.

Five things that change the output every time

The offer in plain words. The date or the opening hours. The place, written the way a stranger would need it. The price, or the fact that it is free. And what you want done next, which is the line the call to action slot is waiting for. Those five turn a handsome shell into a flyer somebody can act on.

Specific beats enthusiastic

The writing rules ask for concrete nouns and real figures over category words, and ban filler openings. Save thirty percent beats great savings, and open until 9pm beats convenient hours, because the slot is short and a number survives being read from across a room. If you give it numbers it will use them. If you give it adjectives it can only give adjectives back.

Names, prices and numbers are copied, not paraphrased

Where your brief names a company, a product, a price, a date, a location, a phone number, an email, a website or a social handle, those exact values go into the matching slots. This is worth knowing in both directions: a typo in your brief is a typo on the flyer, and a detail you left out cannot appear.

Length is not the same as detail

Eight thousand characters are available, but a rambling brief does not fill more slots than a tight one. What fills slots is distinct facts. Three lines carrying six facts outperform three paragraphs carrying two, and a bulleted list of details reads to the writer exactly as well as prose.

How it works, in three steps

  1. Step 1

    List the facts before you write sentences

    Offer, date, place, price, action. Anything you cannot list is a slot that will come back empty.

  2. Step 2

    Paste them in as they are

    Bullet points are fine. The writer reads facts, not style, and it will phrase them for the audience it infers.

  3. Step 3

    Read the empty spots, then add one line

    If a strip is missing on the finished flyer, it is a fact you did not supply. Add it in the builder or say it in a chat message.

Questions people ask

How short can the description be?

Eight characters is the technical floor. Practically, anything under one full sentence gives the writer nothing to ground the optional slots in, so you get a well designed flyer with most of its detail strips missing.

Should I write the headline myself?

You can, and it will be respected as part of the request. If you do not, the headline slot gets written for you, benefit first and short, because it is told the eyebrow and the headline are the hook.

Does it write in the tone of my business?

It infers the audience and the offer from your brief and pitches a marketing voice at that reader. Naming the audience in one clause, such as for first time parents, moves the wording more than any instruction about tone.

Can I paste my existing copy in and have it laid out?

Yes. Paste the wording you already use. It becomes the source of truth, and the writer's job shrinks to fitting it into the slot budgets.
