Prompting Cognis to write an article, blog, report, etc., will automatically launch the Content Writing Assistant.

Example Prompt: Write me an article on my n-line sneakers + [product description of n-line sneakers]

Cognis will respond to you seeking permission to open up the ‘Specialized Writing Canvas’. You can just click on ‘Proceed’, to open up the Canvas.

In case you have a smaller communication draft like a single email, or a single social media post., Cognis generally doesn’t prompt you to open the Canvas. But if you’d like to still access the Canvas, follow the steps below:

  1. Click on the ‘Direct to’ button located on the right side just above the chatbox
  2. Choose ‘Content Writing Canvas’
  3. Then enter your prompt to directly send the prompt to the Content Writing Assistant
  4. Click on the ‘Proceed’ button when Cognis prompts you to launch the specialized writing Canvas

The Three Stages of Content Creation on the Canvas

In the Content Writing Canvas on Cognis, you follow a 3-step process for writing content. We specifically implemented this feature to ensure longer content is generated correctly and in a properly formatted manner.

The three stages of writing in the canvas help you verify whether or not the LLM is on the right track: They function as follows:

  • Ideation: Generates a brief idea for the content piece that is to be generated
  • Outline: Drafts a section-by-section outline with a brief description of what is to be included in each respective sections
  • Content: Generates the final content as per the outline you’ve approved.

Let’s go through these stages one at a time.

Step 3: Ideation

Once you click ‘Proceed’ in your main chat window, Cognis opens up the Canvas where you can see the ideation stage.

You’ll notice that on the Canvas you get a chat window on the left side where you can prompt Cognis to make changes and switch LLMs via clicking on the Model name button at the top right of this window.

You can read the brief of the idea of the article here and ensure that it meets your final content idea/goal.

Once this is done, we move on to the next stage by clicking on the ‘Generate Outline’ button at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Step 4: Outline

Once you’ve generated the outline for your article, you get access to smart edit options inside Cognis. At the outline stage Cognis, with the specialized writing canvas, displays the sections it intends to include and a brief on each section.

You can edit the contents of each section using the Smart Rewrite feature or Edit the Tone and Style through quick action buttons available in the canvas itself. Cognis also allows you to re-order the sections as per your liking and add custom sections manually or via instructions.

Let’s break down how to use these features.

1. Quick Editing on Cognis

To edit Tone and Style quickly:

  1. Each section comes with a corresponding three dot icon on the left side.
  2. Click the icon to open the edit section.
  3. Click on ‘Adjust Tone & Style’ to access the ‘Tone’ and ‘Style’ options.
  4. Choose from the preset list of options to edit the section.
  5. If you want to edit the Tone and Style of the entire outline at a go, click on the ‘Actions’ button at the bottom right side of the Canvas and follow Step 3 and 4.

Using Smart Rewrite to edit the Outline:

  1. Each section comes with a corresponding three dot icon on the left side.
  2. Click the icon to open the edit section.
  3. Click on ‘Smart Rewrite’ to access the custom prompt box.
  4. Enter your prompt on how to edit the section here and click on ‘Re-write’.
  5. If you want to apply custom instructions to the entire article at once, click on the ‘Actions’ button at the bottom right side of the Canvas and follow Steps 3 and 4.

2. Adding and Deleting Sections

In the outline you also get the option to add new sections and delete existing ones.

You can do this by following the steps below:

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the Canvas
  2. Click on the ‘+Add new section’ button
  3. You can select between ‘Manual’ and ‘Add Section (Via Instruction)’ in the Action dropdown

    • You can include the Tone and Style in your prompt directly
    • Click the ‘+ Add Section’ button to successfully add the new section
    • Cognis will automatically generate the new section

3. Re-ordering Section in the Outline

To reorder the content in the outline you can:

  1. Click on the four directional arrow icon to open up the re-ordering menu
  2. Click and hold the arrow beside the section you want to re-order and drag it above or below
  3. Click on the Tick icon at the top right of the canvas once you’re done re-ordering these sections

Once you’re satisfied with the outline click on the ‘Generate Content’ button at the bottom right side of the canvas to go to the next step.

Step 5: Content Generation

Cognis automatically generates content based on the outline in the form of a structured piece with bullet points, tables, and more.

This section displays the final content giving you the same level of section-wise edits, re-ordering, and section creation options, as in the outline. Alongside this you’re able to directly edit content in the Canvas like you would in a word document. To do this:

  1. You can click anywhere
  2. Begin writing as you would in a word document

Refer to the outline section walkthrough to view how to edit, re-order and add sections content.

The only key difference in the flow of the content section lies in the ‘Adding a Section’ option. In the content stage you can also select the type of the section from amongst the following five:

  1. Paragraph
  2. Ordered List
  3. Unordered List
  4. Table
  5. Quote

How to choose this and use it in the Content stage:

  • Scroll to the bottom of the Canvas
  • Click on the ‘+Add new section’ button
  • You can select between ‘Manual’ and ‘Add Section (Via Instruction)’ in the Action dropdown
  • If you choose Manual:

  • If you choose to Add a Section via instruction:
    1. You can give Cognis a prompt on the section you’d like to be added
    2. You can include the Tone, Style, and Type in your prompt directly
    3. Click the ‘+ Add Section’ button to successfully add the new section
    4. Cognis will automatically generate the new section

Switching LLMs and Using Branching on Cognis while using Google Sheets

One of Cognis’ core functionalities is the ability for users to switch between LLMs seamlessly, whether at the beginning of a chat or at the message level. When you switch LLMs, a new branch is created, which initiates a new chat but stores the chat with the previous LLM in Cognis’ history. Allowing you to A/B test responses and find the one that fits your task perfectly.

There are two ways to use the Multi-LLM and Branching in Cognis.

1. Switching Models for the same chat for different tasks

You can switch between different models for a specific set of tasks. For example, in the same chat branch, you can switch between GPT 5 for writing and Gemini 2.5 Pro for analyzing big sets of data.

In this scenario, a new branch is not created. How to use this:

  1. Click on the Button at the top right side of your chat window where the Model Name is written
  2. Access the list of models from the drop-down and select a different model
  3. Once you’ve selected the new model, continue your chat as usual with the new model

You can switch back to the previous model using the same process again, or you can switch to a different model. In this scenario, you can switch between as many models as you’d like.

2. Creating Branches with Different Models to A/B Test Responses

You can switch between different models to A/B test and check the response quality of the respective models in the same chat window. A new branch is created each time you switch a model.

For example, you can use GPT 5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro to conduct the same data analysis to check which model did a better job.

In this scenario, each model change leads to the creation of a new branch in the same chat window. How to use this feature:

  1. Below your message to Cognis, you’ll find a four-star icon made of four circles; click it to open the model selector
  2. Choose the model you want to switch to and click on the model name from the drop-down
  3. The message is automatically resent to the new model, and Cognis creates a demarcation of the moment in the chat where you branched with numbered options for accessing each respective branch
  4. You can click on the branch numbers to switch between different model responses
  5. You can continue the chat, and beside each response sent by Cognis, a branch icon appears, which, when clicked, will take you back to the origin point of when you branched the last time during the chat
