Change Agent generates high-quality drafts of policy briefs and testimony for informing policymakers, stakeholders, and the public about key issues. The key is to interact with Change Agent as if it were a very talented legislative assistant who just started at your organization. Try providing Change Agent with all of the details you would think about when starting a policy briefing or testimonial—such as what the legislation is, who your audience is, what the perspective is, and what the topline message should be. The more specific you can be while prompting Change Agent the better. Try uploading relevant documents, webpages, and legislation to inform content, tone, format, and knowledge.

If you've uploaded any documents or webpages, instruct Change Agent to use them to inform content, style, and/or format. Then, prompt Change Agent to generate a policy brief or testimony.
