Defining your writing style

Your writing style is as unique as your fingerprint, built through years of experience and personal choices. When working with AI, capturing this uniqueness ensures outputs feel real rather than robotic. Start by looking at your existing emails and documents to find patterns in how you write. Do you prefer short, direct sentences or detailed explanations? Are your emails formal or friendly? AI tools understand context well, learning from examples you provide to match your specific voice.

Consider creating a style guide that lists your favorite greetings, common phrases, and typical sign-offs. Write down specific words you use often and others you always avoid. This self-knowledge becomes the foundation for all your AI interactions. Remember that style includes more than just words. It covers sentence length, paragraph structure, and punctuation choices. The goal is not to limit creativity but to create a starting point that AI can build from while keeping your communications consistent.

Pro Tip: Create a "style snippet" document with 3-5 examples of your best writing to reference when prompting AI for important communications.
