Step 2. You can further customise the options suggested by design assistant . Here are the steps that you can follow:
- Enter a Description: Start by providing a brief description (limited to 2000 characters) that narrows down the focus of the discussions. This will help tailor the generated content to your specific needs.

- Apply
- Analyze
- Evaluate
