How to Use the AI Figurative Language Generator

Step 1: Describe Your Subject or Idea

• Subject: Describe what you want figurative language for in the main text field, such as "The ocean at sunset, waves rolling in slowly, a feeling of calm and freedom after a long hard week." You can also drag and drop or browse for a file (notes, an outline, or a draft) up to 2MB, and the AI will extract the relevant context from it automatically.

Step 2: Add Key Words or Images (Optional)

• Key Words or Images: List anything you specifically want reflected in the examples, such as "lighthouse, salt air, quiet, second chances." The AI weaves these into the language naturally instead of inventing unrelated imagery.

Step 3: Choose a Figurative Language Type

• Figurative Language Type: Select Metaphor, Simile, Personification, Hyperbole, Idiom, Onomatopoeia, Alliteration, Oxymoron, Symbolism, or Mixed (All Types). Choosing a specific type generates one focused example of that exact technique. Choosing Mixed (All Types), which is selected by default, generates a varied set of 8 examples that rotate across different techniques.

Step 4: Choose a Tone and Explanation Level

• Tone: Select the mood you want — Poetic & Lyrical, Playful & Whimsical, Dramatic & Intense, Humorous, Melancholic, or Neutral & Balanced. Poetic & Lyrical is selected by default.
• Explanations: Choose None for just the line itself, Brief for a one-sentence breakdown of how it works, or Detailed for a fuller explanation of the imagery. Brief is selected by default.

Step 5: Choose Where It Will Be Used and the Output Language

• Best For: Select the intended use — Creative Writing, Poetry, Song Lyrics, Classroom / Students, Speeches & Presentations, or Everyday Conversation.
• Language: Choose the output language from 15 supported options, including English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Arabic, Japanese, and more.
