The prompt

Write copy for app onboarding screens for [YOUR APP]. User goal: [WHAT THEY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH]. Create: Welcome Screens (3 swipeable screens): Screen 1: 1) Headline: Primary benefit, 2) Visual description, 3) Subtext (supporting benefit). Screen 2: 1) Headline: Key feature benefit, 2) Visual, 3) Subtext. Screen 3: 1) Headline: Social proof or outcome, 2) Visual, 3) Subtext, 4) CTA button. Permission Requests: 1) Notification permission: Why we need it (specific value), 2) Location permission: How it improves experience, 3) Camera/photos: Use case explanation. Account Creation: 1) Why create account (benefits backup, sync, etc.), 2) Social sign-in vs. email options, 3) Skip option copy if allowed. Initial Setup (if applicable): 1) Personalization questions (why you're asking), 2) Progress indicators, 3) Completion celebration. First-Time User Experience: 1) Tooltips for key features (when to show, what to say), 2) Empty state messages (before they have data/content). Principle: Minimal friction, clear value, progressive disclosure. Keep copy conversational, benefit-focused, under 10 words per main message.
