AI Teammate

Voice analyst — extracts patterns from your writing.

Human-Owned Zone (HOZ)

You approve the description. If it doesn't sound like you, it's wrong.

FENCE Check

Don't include client emails, confidential correspondence, or personal data. Use your own writing only.

Prompt Starter

I'm pasting 3 pieces I wrote. Analyze my voice and create a one-page Voice Snapshot:

1. Tone (3 adjectives — specific, not "professional yet approachable")
2. What I do: sentence length, word choice, rhythm, punctuation habits
3. What I don't do: patterns I avoid
4. My "never say" list (words or phrases that don't sound like me)
5. My go-to moves (things I do consistently)
6. A "voice test" — 3 questions to ask before publishing anything AI helped write

Writing sample 1: [paste]
Writing sample 2: [paste]
Writing sample 3: [paste]

Work the Mission

  1. 1Pick 3 pieces you wrote. Different formats if possible.
  2. 2Run the prompt. Read the Voice Snapshot.
  3. 3Does it sound like you? If not, tell AI what's off and run again.
  4. 4Save the snapshot. Use it as the "voice instruction" in every future AI prompt.
  5. 5Add it to your AI tool's custom instructions if available.

Twist Card — when AI doesn't cooperate

  • AI describes your voice as "professional yet approachable" (generic)? Push back: "Those words could describe anyone. Give me specific examples from my writing."
  • The "never say" list is wrong? Add your own. You know what makes you cringe.
  • Snapshot feels like a different person? Try again with different source material. Use pieces you're proud of.
