Canonical: https://instain.ru/en/articles/ Language: en Practice / InstaIn # AI tools in practice. Guides to using AI tools, from the first prompt to a result you can check and use. We cover specific tasks, practical techniques and the limits of AI tools. ## Learning through practice ![Microphone, headphones and a script with a sound wave coming out of it](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-elevenlabs-tekst-dlya-ozvuchki-pauzy-i-proiznoshenie-cover-a6f0f938af58-1200.webp) ### [Writing for ElevenLabs: how to set pauses and check pronunciation](https://instain.ru/en/articles/writing-for-elevenlabs-how-to-set-pauses-and-check-pronunciation/) A reader can quickly understand “15.05, 18:30, 2500 ₽”. A narrator needs text with an unambiguous spoken form. Here is how to prepare a short voiceover, from writing numbers out to pauses and checking the finished file. A practical guide ![Three different posters showing a house, plants and a sailboat share one palette and a paper texture](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-midjourney-style-reference-seriya-illyustracij-cover-fd41dadebda8-1200.webp) ### [Midjourney Style Reference: an illustration series in a consistent style](https://instain.ru/en/articles/midjourney-style-reference-an-illustration-series-in-a-consistent-style/) A house, plants and a sailing boat can look like parts of one project. That requires a clear visual principle, a reference image and checks to keep the series from drifting apart after a successful first image. A practical guide ![Three sets of editorial materials — facts, style and examples — alongside a new draft](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-claude-projects-baza-znanij-redakcii-cover-7d937f167487-1200.webp) ### [Claude Projects: a knowledge base and brand guide for an editorial team](https://instain.ru/en/articles/claude-projects-a-knowledge-base-and-brand-guide-for-an-editorial-team/) A brand guide helps maintain tone, but does not explain which of three service conditions is correct. Let’s assemble a working kit in Claude Projects for a small editorial team: verified facts, language rules, approved examples and a clear acceptance process. A practical guide ![Blue ceramic mug on a neutral background and on a light linen surface](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-nano-banana-fon-dlya-tovarnoy-kartochki-cover-f38e46a6f6d7-1200.webp) ### [Nano Banana: replacing a product photo's background while preserving the product](https://instain.ru/en/articles/nano-banana-replacing-a-product-photo-s-background-while-preserving-the-product/) A few edits can make a background more expressive. It is harder to spot a changed mug handle or glaze colour along the way. We examine product-photo background replacement while checking the item itself. A practical guide ![Two source folders, a notebook and a magnifying glass for checking discrepancies in documents](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-notebooklm-proverka-protivorechiy-v-istochnikah-cover-0b9c9e07130b-1200.webp) ### [NotebookLM: finding contradictions in sources and verifying quotations](https://instain.ru/en/articles/notebooklm-finding-contradictions-in-sources-and-verifying-quotations/) One document promises to process a request in two days; another promises a response within two working days. Here is how to compare those statements in NotebookLM and determine whether they genuinely conflict or simply lack definitions. A practical guide ![A turquoise toy robot with a purple circle on its chest in three different scenes](https://instain.ru/assets/images/article-nano-banana-odin-personazh-v-raznyh-scenah-cover-23ea420b7a91-1200.webp) ### [One character across Nano Banana scenes: working with a reference](https://instain.ru/en/articles/one-character-across-nano-banana-scenes-working-with-a-reference/) An image series needs a recognisable character. Here is how to prepare a reference image, describe fixed details and spot an unwanted character change before it spreads to later scenes. A practical guide ## How to use AI tools thoughtfully A useful guide begins with a clear task. Drafting, exploring a visual concept, narrating material and analysing a document need different approaches. We examine inputs, prompts and result checks rather than merely listing names. Model capabilities change. Articles therefore link to official sources and explain access conditions: where a subscription is required, what depends on the plan and which limits to check before starting. Examples do not replace checking facts, rights to source material or the chosen service’s rules. ## Choose a direction - [Texts and answers](https://instain.ru/en/category/assistants/) - [Images & Design](https://instain.ru/en/category/images/) - [Video and animation](https://instain.ru/en/category/video/) - [Voice and music](https://instain.ru/en/category/audio/) - [Programming](https://instain.ru/en/category/code/) - [Work and study](https://instain.ru/en/category/productivity/)
