Getting the AI to do what you want
The Genesis agent understands plain language — no bracket tags or syntax. Just describe the outcome; here's how to phrase power features so it nails them.
The Genesis chat is an AI agent. It reads what you want from a normal sentence and picks the right tool itself — a fast style edit, a whole new section, a real backend, an editable catalog, analytics, animation. You don't need any special syntax. Describe the outcome and it does the rest.
No more tags
Earlier versions used bracket tags like [product list], [tracking], or [estage-dedicated]
to force a specific tool. Those are gone — the agent understands your intent directly. Anywhere
you used to type a tag, just say what you want in plain words.
The one habit that matters: be specific
The agent is smart, but the clearer the outcome you describe, the better it hits it. Name the thing and the intent:
| Instead of a tag, just say… | And you get |
|---|---|
| "add an editable product catalog — a flower shop, 12 bouquets with photo, name, price" | A data-driven catalog you edit from a panel |
| "add my Google Tag Manager GTM-ABC1234" (or "add my Meta Pixel 123…") | Analytics / ad pixel wired in |
| "build a members area with login and a feed people can post to" | A real backend — database, accounts, realtime |
| "let me edit these testimonials from the sidebar" | Live, no-AI-turn editing controls |
| "when the contact form is submitted, send it to this webhook: https://…" | A Zapier / Make / webhook hand-off |
| "add a support chatbot that knows our shipping policy" | In-site AI |
| "add a video grid from my ESTAGE library, 3 per row" | An ESTAGE element |
| "build a landing inspired by stripe.com, but in my brand" | A page designed from a reference |
| "animate the page — parallax, scroll reveals, hover effects" | Motion added tastefully |
| "undo that" | The last change reverted |
Three levers for great results
- Say the outcome, not the mechanism. "a feed members can post to" beats "add a div." The agent chooses tables, components, and wiring for you.
- Select first for precise edits. Click an element in the preview, then "make this bigger" or "remove this" applies to exactly that element — no ambiguity. See the visual editor.
- Attach a reference — an image or a URL — when you want it to match a look. Say whether you want an inspired take or a faithful copy.
When something needs setup
A few features rely on something being configured first — a Dedicated Cloud for backends, payment gateways for checkouts, a connected service for Telegram/Notion. You still just ask for the feature; if a prerequisite is missing, the agent tells you what to enable and where.
Note
Being specific is the whole trick. You're not learning a command language — you're briefing a capable agent. The more concrete the result you describe, the more reliably it delivers it.
