Example prompts

Write the way you would ask a colleague. Name the site by its domain; the assistant finds it. Long jobs, such as building a site or applying updates, run in the background: the assistant tells you which step they're on and can wait for them to finish.

Changes that need your confirmationCopy Anchor Link

For destructive actions the assistant explains what will happen and asks you to type the site's domain:

• "Replace www.old-domain.com with www.new-domain.com in example.com's database." The assistant first runs a preview and shows how many rows would change.
• "Restore yesterday's backup of example.com."
• "Delete the site test.example.com."
