Best practices: #
Be as specific as possible: the more details you provide, the better the results.
❌ “Create an area in Los Angeles.”
✅ “Create a 15-minute drive-time area around Manhattan Beach Boulevard, Los Angeles, USA.”
Provide context about your business: Tell Smappen AI who you are and what your business does, the more context you provide, the more relevant the recommendations will be.
“I’m the owner of a fitness club franchise. Where should I open my next club, and why?”*
Prepare your map first: Smappen AI analyzes the content currently displayed on your map, including areas, folders, points of interest, and metrics.
Iterate through the conversation: Smappen AI works best as a conversation.
Start with a simple request, review the results, then refine your instructions step by step. This often produces better results than providing every detail in a single prompt.
Be careful when deleting items: Smappen AI always asks for confirmation before deleting areas or folders. However, once an item has been deleted, the action cannot be undone. Make sure you want to proceed before confirming a deletion.
