Tip for getting better output from an AI writer: don't just give it a topic, give it constraints.
"Write about remote work productivity" gets you a generic overview. "Write for a manager deciding whether to let a team go fully remote, focused on what changes about 1:1s and performance reviews, skip the history of the pandemic" gets you something useful.
The constraint — audience, angle, what to exclude — is what separates a usable brief from a wall of text. The topic alone isn't enough information to write well from.
