Step 2: Have AI Analyse Your Voice
AI can identify patterns in your writing faster than you can — but you decide which patterns matter.
This is where the magic happens. You’re teaching AI what patterns make your writing distinctively yours.
The exact prompt to use:
I'm going to share 5-10 writing samples. Analyse my writing voice and create a comprehensive style guide.
Focus on:
VOICE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Tone (formal/casual, serious/playful, etc.)
- Sentence structure patterns
- How I use emphasis (italics, bold, em-dashes)
- Paragraph length preferences
- My use of questions, rhetorical devices
- Whether I use contractions and how frequently
DISTINCTIVE PATTERNS:
- Phrases I use repeatedly
- My transition style
- How I introduce topics
- How I explain complex ideas
- My use of examples and analogies
- Conversational quirks
WHAT I AVOID:
- This is crucial: What DON'T I do?
- Words and phrases I never use
- Structures I avoid
- Formality I don't adopt
RHYTHM AND PACING:
- How I vary sentence length
- My use of short sentences for emphasis
- Whether I use long, meandering sentences
- My paragraph flow

Create project instructions that capture these patterns so future AI assistance maintains my voice.What you’ll get: A detailed analysis of your voice characteristics. This becomes your style guide — the reference document you’ll use every time you work with AI.
Save this output somewhere permanent. You’ll need it repeatedly. This isn’t a one-time exercise. This is infrastructure.
