“Sound like me” becomes a usable rule.

THE STARTING POINT

Leverage cutting-edge AI to unlock unprecedented productivity.

A MORE USEFUL RESULT

Paste your rough notes into AI. Ask for a first draft. Then rewrite the opening in your own words.

Voice rule: Use everyday words and describe something concrete.
Keep it honest: Only use first-person experiences that actually happened.

Build your own guide with examples from writing you actually like. These sample sentences show how a plain-language rule changes the result.

“Write in my voice” gives an assistant very little to work with. Your writing samples contain the details: how you open a piece, the words you use, how much you explain, and where you stop. This four-stage workflow turns those choices into instructions you can review.

YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH

A reusable voice guide you can attach to future writing briefs.

An AI assistant · your own context and examples

01 / Choose writing you actually stand behind

Collect three to five pieces you wrote and still like. Include enough variety to show what stays consistent across topics. Remove client details or private information before sharing the samples.

Avoid mixing your polished work with drafts you dislike or material written by someone else. The assistant can only infer a style from the evidence you provide. Tell it which sample best represents your current voice.

02 / Run the stages separately

First ask for a style guide. Read it before moving on. Next ask for examples from your samples and counter-examples. Then rank the rules. Finally, add the interview that will collect your ideas for future pieces.

Do not paste all four stages and accept a single giant response. The pauses let you correct the assistant before a weak observation becomes a permanent rule.

03 / Make a rule you can use

An illustrative rule is: “Name the task before describing the benefit.” An example might be “Turn meeting notes into three next actions.” A counter-example might be “Transform your productivity with powerful insights.”

Those sentences illustrate the format; they are not quotations from your writing. Your finished guide should label real excerpts, invented examples, and inferences so you can tell them apart.
