+## Best Practices {#best-practices}
+
+### Text Input 
+
+To achieve optimal results, provide context about your app or the document you are working on by describing its main use cases, customer needs, or other relevant details. The more Maia knows about what you are building, the more tailored and accurate the generated results will be.
+
+#### Providing Context
+
+Below are some examples of prompts you can use as a starting point:
+
+* The app will help users...
+* This module handles...
+* Customers need to be able to...
+* The page will be used to...
+* Generate a workflow for a process that...
+* This feature allows users to...
+
+#### Editing and Improving
+
+Below are examples of prompts you can use to ask Maia to make further edits or request explanations and suggestions for improving a document:
+
+* Can you explain the function and purpose of this document?
+* I want an area on the page where users can...
+* Remove the ... widget.
+* How can I make this page more user-friendly or visually appealing?
+* Could you identify any potential issues with this document and recommend solutions?
+* Can you give me suggestions to improve this workflow?
+
+### Image Input
+
+The image size is limited to 512 KB. Make sure to select a clear image to help Maia better understand your request. For example, you can provide a screenshot, a photo, a design mock-up, or a close-up picture of a drawing. Avoid heavily compressed or low-quality images, as these may result in the loss of important details.
+
+Keep in mind that Maia analyzes only the structure of the image. Maia does not change the theming of your app, such as the color scheme. This can cause some differences between the provided image and the generated page.
+
+### Microflows {#microflows-best-practices}
+
+When generating microflows, consider the following additional guidelines:
+
+* **Be specific:** Clearly describe the desired outcome and the steps involved. For example, instead of using *Create a user*, use *Create a new user object, set its name attribute to 'John Doe', and commit it*.
+* **Use keywords:** Incorporate terms relevant to microflow activities, such as *create object*, *retrieve*, *change object*, *show message*, *loop*, or *decision*. This can help with correct microflow generation.
+* **Provide context:** If your microflow interacts with existing entities or attributes, mention them in your text input.
+
+### Workflows {#workflows-best-practices}
+
+You can provide a BPMN image representing employee onboarding alongside your text input. Maia can analyze the image, rework it using Mendix Workflows terminology, and generate the corresponding activities. Use text input alongside the image to specify any differences. For example, "Generate a workflow based on this BPMN image, but make sure it waits before sending an email to the new employee."
