Create a buying guide with requirements, evaluation criteria, product categories, trade-offs, budget context, and a practical selection process. The active guide targets 3,000 words, asks the model for 11 structural elements and then checks the draft for them, keeps source review explicit, and keeps review before export.

An AI buying guide generator helps a reader define requirements before evaluating products. It explains category differences, criteria, trade-offs, budget considerations, warning signs, and a repeatable process for reaching a purchase decision.
What to provide: Provide the buyer persona, use case, must-have and optional requirements, budget range, product categories, evidence sources, risks, and the decision criteria that matter most.
The Buying Guide style guide below is read from the Gixo source at request time. Most of it is written into the generation prompt to steer the draft. A smaller part is enforced by code after the model answers. The editorial judgments stay with you — so they are listed separately rather than folded into one promise.
These are instructions, not checks. They shape what the model is asked to produce; nothing afterwards verifies that the tone landed or that the draft suits the audience. That is what step 3 is for.
