The Tooltip Copy Optimizer writes clear, concise tooltip and help text for UI elements that improve user understanding without cluttering interfaces or overwhelming users with information. Effective tooltip copy requires balancing brevity with clarity—providing just enough context to guide users without lengthy explanations. This agent analyzes UI elements, understands their function and user context, then generates tooltip copy that follows UX writing best practices for length, tone, and information hierarchy. Product and design teams using elvex can ensure consistent, helpful microcopy across their entire product while maintaining clean, intuitive interfaces.

Example prompt
"Write tooltip copy for the following UI elements in our analytics dashboard: 1) A toggle switch labeled 'Real-time Mode' that switches between live data updates (every 5 seconds) and static snapshots—users might not understand the performance implications. 2) A dropdown menu for 'Attribution Model' with options like 'First Touch,' 'Last Touch,' 'Linear,' and 'Time Decay'—marketing users may not be familiar with these terms. 3) A button labeled 'Export to Data Warehouse' that triggers an async job—users need to know it won't download immediately. For each, provide: a concise tooltip (under 100 characters) for the default hover state, and optional expandable help text (under 200 characters) for users who need more detail. Tone should be helpful and professional without being condescending."
