How to choose a format

Five steps to picking and using the right recipe inside Brief Mode.

1
Identify Your Use Case

Start with the outcome you need. Are you briefing a board, analyzing a competitor, summarizing research, or preparing a strategy memo? The use case determines the category.

2
Browse format categories

Open the recipe picker in Brief Mode. Recipes are grouped by Sales & Accounts, Marketing & Communications, Finance, Strategy & Operations, Product, Support & Legal, and Executive & Strategy.

3
Select the format

Click a format to select it. Briefs updates to show the sections you can expect, so you know what the brief will contain.

4
Provide Context

Add your topic, upload source documents, and specify the audience and detail level. The more context you provide, the more relevant and specific the brief output will be.

5
Create and customize

Create the brief and refine it in the editor. Every format gives you an editable result, so you can adjust sections, rewrite passages, or add your own analysis.

Pro Tip
Executive and Strategy recipes work best for board-level audiences. They automatically structure content around implications, risks, and recommended actions in the format senior leaders expect.
Pro Tip
Upload competitor websites as sources for competitive recipes. The AI extracts positioning, pricing signals, and feature claims, then organizes them into a structured competitive analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many brief recipes does Gixo offer?
Gixo offers 54 brief recipes across five categories: Sales & Accounts, Marketing & Communications, Finance, Strategy & Operations, Product, Support & Legal, and Executive & Strategy. Each category groups recurring business jobs rather than generic writing prompts.
Can I customize a recipe after selecting it?
Yes. After generating a brief, you can edit every section using the block editor. You can reorder sections, rewrite content, add new blocks, and use AI-assisted editing to refine specific passages without regenerating the entire brief.
What is the difference between a recipe and a template?
A recipe defines the structure, tone, and logic of a brief — it tells the AI how to process your sources and what sections to produce. A template is a visual layout. Recipes control the content; templates control the presentation.
Which recipes work best for board reporting?
The Executive category includes board report recipes, investor update recipes, and quarterly review recipes. These produce concise, structured outputs with key metrics, strategic highlights, and risk summaries — the format boards expect.
Can I create my own recipe?
Custom recipe creation is on the roadmap. Currently, you can achieve similar results by selecting the closest recipe and customizing the output in the editor, or by using the additional context field to guide the AI toward your preferred structure.
