Core Functions Operation Guide

Macaron is very intuitive and centers around the core interaction of "chat".

1. How to create your first tool

Creating tools is the most central feature of Macaron. You don't need any programming knowledge, just tell the AI what you want like a chat.

• Starting a conversation: Open the Macaron app and you'll see a chat software-like interface. Start a conversation directly in the input box and use Macaron as a smart assistant.
• Describe your needs: Clearly tell Macaron what kind of tool you want to create. The more specific the description, the better the generation.
  • Example 1 (content creation): You can type, "I want to create a tool that will generate five social media post titles for me if I give it a topic."
  • Example 2 (life assistants): You can type in, "Help me create a daily water logging tool that will keep track of how many milliliters of water I drink each day and set a goal of 2,000 milliliters."
  • Example 3 (learning aid): You can type, "Create a simple translation tool that can translate typed Chinese sentences into Japanese."
• AI generation and debugging: After sending your request, Macaron will start to understand your intentions and "build" the tool. This process may take some time. Once the tool is created, it will appear in the chat interface as an interactive card. You can test it directly and if you are not satisfied, you can continue to modify it via chat, e.g. "Make the headline style more lively" or "Change the daily goal to 2500 ml".
• Preservation tools: When you're satisfied with a tool, it's automatically saved in your personal tool library for repeated use in the future.

2. How to use the tools already available

All the tools you create and add from the template library can be found in your personal tool library.

• Access to the tool library: On the main screen of the app, there is usually an entry point to "My Tools" or a similar page.
• Select and useClick on the tool you want to use. For example, open the Social Media Headline Generator that you created earlier, enter a new subject, and it will instantly generate a new headline for you without having to repeat the description of the need.

3. Exploring and using the template library

If you're not sure what tool to create, or want to quickly solve a common problem, you can use the built-in template library.

• Browse Templates: Find the "Playbook" or "Template Library" portal in the app.
• Add with one click: There are hundreds of pre-made tools here, such as travel planning assistants, fitness logs, recipe managers, and more. When you see one that interests you, it's just a click away from adding it to your own library of tools that can be fine-tuned to suit your personal needs.

4. Utilizing AI's memory function

One of the great things about Macaron is its ability to memorize.

• natural communication: While using it, you can tell it your preferences as if you were chatting with a friend. For example: "I like to communicate in a simple way" or "I've been learning Spanish".
• Personalized Experience: Macaron remembers this information. The next time you ask it to create a tool or offer suggestions, it will provide more personalized and thoughtful content based on what it knows about you. For example, it might proactively recommend Spanish-speaking countries as you make travel plans.
