How to Make AI Write Like You

Pick samples that represent the voice you want to clone. Blog posts, emails, Slack messages, tweets — whatever matches your target use case. 500-2000 words total is plenty.

If you're cloning a brand voice, pick recent published copy. If it's your personal voice, pick writing you're proud of, not just whatever's lying around.

Paste the examples and ask:

"Below are 3 samples of my writing. Analyse the voice in detail: typical sentence length, vocabulary level, use of contractions, attitude towards the reader, recurring phrases, what's distinctive. Be specific. Don't be flattering."

You'll get back a 200-400 word voice description. Read it carefully — does it sound like you?

The first analysis usually misses something. Push back:

• "You missed that I use semicolons heavily."
• "My tone isn't 'professional' — it's mildly sarcastic."
• "I avoid the word 'leverage' on principle. Add that."

Iterate until the voice description matches what you'd write in a style guide for yourself.

The final voice description is now your system prompt for any future writing task. Format like:

"You are writing in [Name]'s voice. Voice characteristics: [paste analysis]. Always match this voice."

Save it in your AskAI.free saved prompts library (Pro feature). Now every writing task starts with this prompt.

Combine the voice prompt with a specific task: "Write a 200-word LinkedIn post about [topic] in this voice." The first output may still feel slightly off. Iterate:

• "More direct, less explanatory."
• "Add more humour — I'm not this serious."
• "Cut the hedging — pick a position."

After 2-3 iterations, the AI should produce drafts that need only light editing to feel like you.
