Frequently Asked Questions

FINDING YOUR FIT

AI Usage Documentation

Task Initial Prompt Used AI Output Summary Revisions Made & Rationale Final Implementation
Product Description (SafeRide) "Rewrite this product description to be more engaging and persuasive for an urban cyclist, highlighting safety and comfort benefits." Dynamic version with "Conquer the city commute" and "all-day wearability." Changed "durable outer shell" to "certified impact protection" for authority. Added "12 strategically placed vents" for specificity. Accepted revised version with minor edits.
About Us Page "Make this 'About Us' page more compelling and brand-focused." Narrative version with origin story ("Born from simple frustration...") Added "We're riders, just like you" for personal connection. Accepted with added connection line.
FAQs Page "Organize these FAQs into clear categories and make answers more helpful and friendly." Expanded answers grouped into 'Finding Your Fit' and 'Orders & Returns' No major revisions needed. Accepted completely.

AI Revision Rationale

Overall Approach: Used Shopify Magic to enhance tone, clarity, and persuasiveness of manually written content. Goal was professional, engaging copy speaking directly to target personas (Sam and Pat) while retaining core safety/comfort facts.

Key Revision Example 1 (Product Descriptions): AI transformed factual features ("durable shell, EPS foam, 12 vents") into customer benefits ("certified impact protection," "cooling airflow to prevent overheating"). Shift from features to benefits is crucial for marketing. Kept AI version but ensured safety certifications explicitly mentioned.

Key Revision Example 2 (About Us Page): Initial draft was simple statement of purpose. AI generated story about founders' frustration with existing helmets - more compelling and builds emotional connection. Added "We're riders, just like you" to strengthen connection further.
