Master ecomAssist with effective prompting techniques. Learn how to communicate with AI for better results, faster workflows, and more creative outputs.
The Art of Prompting
ecomAssist understands natural language, but certain techniques help you get better results faster. Think of it as having a conversation with a skilled colleague - the clearer your request, the better the outcome.
Golden Rules of Prompting
1. Be Specific About Your Goal
❌ Vague: “Make this look better”
✅ Specific: “Remove the background and place this watch on a marble surface with soft lighting”
2. Describe Your Product
❌ Minimal: “Process this image”
✅ Descriptive: “This is a men’s leather wallet, brown color. I want to show it in a lifestyle setting.”
3. Mention Your Use Case
❌ Generic: “Create some images”
✅ Purposeful: “I need images for my Shopify product page - one main image and 3 lifestyle shots”
4. Specify Quantity and Quality
❌ Unspecified: “Generate some variations”
✅ Clear: “Generate 4 images at 4K resolution for print materials”

clean, minimal, with soft shadows and gradient background."Negative Prompts

Tool-Specific Tips
For Background Removal
Best Input: Product on a contrasting background (not same color as product)
- Works best with clear product edges
- Complex items (jewelry, lace) may need multiple attempts
- Always preview before using in other tools
For Product Placement
Best Input: Product with transparent or removed background
- Describe the scene in detail for better matches
- Mention lighting direction if important
- Request multiple variations to find the best fit
For Try-On Tools
Best Input: Flat-lay product images on white background
- Front-facing garment images work best
- Avoid images with mannequins or hangers
- Specify model characteristics if needed
For Video Generation
Best Input: High-resolution, well-lit product images
- Start with 4-second videos to test
- Describe camera movement explicitly
- Mention if you want slow motion or specific effects
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Being Too Vague
❌ “Make it look professional” ✅ “Use a clean white background with soft shadows”
2. Overcomplicating
❌ “Create an image with multiple products, various backgrounds, different lighting, rotating camera, with text overlay, and music” ✅ “Create a lifestyle shot of this single product in a modern setting”
3. Ignoring Image Quality
❌ Uploading blurry, dark, or watermarked images ✅ Using high-resolution, well-lit, clean product photos
4. Not Iterating
❌ Expecting perfect results on first try ✅ Using “Regenerate” and adjusting prompts based on results

Pay attention to how ecomAssist responds:
When AI Asks Questions
This means your prompt needs more detail:
AI: "What style of background would you prefer - modern, rustic, or minimal?"→ Add style preferences to future prompts
When AI Suggests Alternatives
Consider the suggestions:
AI: "For this type of product, Product Placement might give better results
than Style Cloning. Would you like to try that instead?"→ AI knows which tools work best for different products
When Results Aren’t Perfect
Use feedback to improve:
You: "The lighting is too harsh in these results"
AI: "I'll regenerate with softer, more diffused lighting. Here are new options..."→ Describe what’s wrong, and AI will adjust

- Did I specify the product type?
- Did I describe the desired outcome?
- Did I mention style/mood preferences?
- Did I specify quantity of outputs?
- Did I indicate quality/resolution needs?
