Make my pages easy to skim
People don't read web pages, they scan them — eyes hopping for the bit that matters. A solid block of text hides that bit, so they give up. Headings, short paragraphs and the odd list fix it without changing a word of meaning. On a bernard-hosted site, your AI does the restructuring.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI shows you the restructured page. Check the meaning's intact, press Approve, and it's live.
Ask it to keep every point and only change the shape — headings that signpost, paragraphs a sentence or three long, a list where things genuinely list. Skimmable structure and fewer words pull in the same direction, so it pairs naturally with Cut the waffle so my point lands.
The prompt
“Look at [the page] — it's a wall of text. Break it up so people can skim it: clear headings, short paragraphs, and a list where it helps. Keep all the meaning, just make it scannable. Show me before changing anything.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- Why does my website text need breaking up?
- Almost no one reads a web page word for word — they skim for what they need. Headings, short paragraphs and lists let them find it; a solid block of text makes them leave. Your AI can restructure it on a bernard site without losing your words, and you approve the result first.
- Will breaking up the text change what it says?
- It shouldn't — ask it to keep all the meaning and just improve the structure. You read the preview and approve before anything goes live.
