An AI writing assistant that keeps your voice
An AI writing assistant helps at three points: getting a first draft out of notes, critiquing a draft you already have, and rewriting for a different audience or length. It works best when you supply voice samples and constraints rather than asking for finished copy.
The failure mode of AI writing is generic prose. It happens when you ask for output without giving the model anything specific to work from.
The fix is mechanical: give it your material, your constraints and a sample of your voice, then iterate in the same thread.
The loop that works
- Draft: "Here are my notes and two paragraphs I wrote. Match that voice, 400 words."
- Critique: "Where is this vague, repetitive, or making a claim I haven't supported?"
- Revise: apply the notes you agree with, ignore the rest, ask for a tightened pass.
- Switch models for the critique step — a second opinion catches different problems.
Bring source material, not just prompts
Attach the brief, the transcript, the spec or the previous version. Text, Markdown and CSV are extracted straight into the prompt; PDFs go to the model as files. Grounded drafts need far less editing than invented ones.
Formats it handles well
- Emails and internal updates where tone matters more than length.
- Long-form outlines and section-by-section expansion.
- Rewrites for a different audience — technical to executive, long to short.
- Proofreading passes for grammar, consistency and repeated phrasing.
What to keep human
- Facts, figures and quotes — verify every one.
- The argument itself. A model can structure your thinking, not supply it.
- Anything published under your name without a read-through.
Example prompts
- "Cut this to 120 words without losing the caveat in paragraph three."
- "Rewrite for a reader who has never used our product. No jargon."
- "Critique this draft as a sceptical editor. Bullet points only."
Frequently asked questions
Will the writing sound like AI?
It will if you prompt vaguely. Supplying voice samples, banning filler phrases and editing the output is what makes the difference.
Can it write in my style?
It can approximate it from samples you paste or attach. Keep a reference thread with two or three paragraphs you consider representative.
Is it good for editing rather than generating?
Editing is arguably the stronger use. Ask for a critique first and apply changes yourself — you keep control of the prose.
Are my drafts private?
Your threads and uploads are readable only by your account. The model provider you pick processes the request itself.
