Writing & Content Creation

All levels

AI is a phenomenal writing partner if you direct it. The goal isn't to push a button and publish — it's to go from blank page to a strong draft fast, in your voice, then sharpen.

The workflow that works​

  1. Brief it. Goal, audience, format, length, tone. ("A 600-word blog intro for first-time founders, encouraging, no jargon.")
  2. Outline first for anything longer than a few paragraphs — approve the structure before the prose.
  3. Draft, then edit in passes ("tighten," "more concrete examples," "cut the throat-clearing").
  4. Match your voice. Paste a sample of your writing: "match this voice." This is the single biggest quality lever.
  5. Repurpose. One piece → thread, newsletter blurb, LinkedIn post, email.

Starter prompts​

Brief: blog intro, 150 words, for {audience}, tone {tone}. Hook in the first line.
Here's my voice to match: """{paste a paragraph you wrote}"""
Edit this for clarity and concision without changing meaning. Show a bullet list
of the changes. Text: """{paste}"""

Hard rules​

:::warning Don't let it invent facts AI will happily produce plausible stats, quotes, names, and sources that are wrong. Never publish a factual claim you haven't verified. Ask it to mark anything that needs a real source with [verify], and fill those yourself. See Hallucinations. :::

  • You're the editor. Keep judgment, taste, and accountability.
  • Avoid generic "AI voice." Specifics, examples, and a real sample of your style fix it.
  • Disclose AI assistance where it matters.
