If some of the responses are unsatisfactory: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go back to your bot\u2019s settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust your prompt by specifying the points that need to be corrected<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run the test again<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GOOD TO KNOW<\/strong><br>The prompt-based creation process is iterative.
