AI-Assisted Writing Techniques

Introduction

The AI can help with all stages of writing: brainstorming, drafting, enhancing dialogue, refining structure, and polishing final copy.

What the AI Can Help With

Brainstorming:

• "Help me brainstorm ideas for a tech startup pitch deck"
• "Generate 10 opening scene ideas for a thriller"
• "What are some unique angles for promoting this product?"

Drafting:

• "Write a project brief for interior design services"
• "Create an outline for a 10-slide investor presentation"
• "Draft product descriptions for e-commerce"

Enhancing:

• "Make this dialogue more natural"
• "Improve this product description to be more compelling"
• "Refine this email to be more professional"

Editing:

• "Shorten this to 100 words while keeping key points"
• "Make this more concise"
• "Fix grammar and improve flow"

Effective Prompts for Writing

Be specific about:

• Tone (professional, casual, enthusiastic, serious)
• Length (word count or page count)
• Audience (investors, customers, team, general public)
• Purpose (persuade, inform, entertain, explain)

Example:

"Write a 200-word product description for luxury leather wallet. Target audience: professional men 30-50. Tone: sophisticated but accessible. Emphasize craftsmanship and timeless design."

Iterative Writing Process

1. Start broad: Get a draft from AI
2. Review: See what works and what doesn't
3. Refine: Request specific changes
4. Polish: Final touches and edits

Don't expect perfection first try. Iterate to get exactly what you want.
