The pipeline
Treat writing as five distinct jobs rather than one prompt.
- Angle. Ask for six competing angles on the topic, each in one sentence, with the intended reader named. Pick one. Reject the obvious one.
- Outline. Convert the angle into a section outline with a one-line claim per section. Fix the order here, where it costs nothing.
- Draft by section. Generate each section separately with its claim in the prompt. Section-by-section drafts are markedly less repetitive than one long generation.
- Seams. Rewrite the first and last sentence of every section yourself. This is the highest-leverage manual work in the whole process.
- Edit. Run the four-pass review from Lesson 2, then read the opening aloud.
Keeping your voice
Paste 300–500 words of your own writing and ask for a style description — sentence length, hedging habits, favoured constructions, humour register. Save that description and put it in every drafting prompt. It works far better than "write in a friendly tone", because it is specific to you rather than to an adjective.
The tells to remove
- Openings that restate the title ("In today's fast-paced world…").
- Tricolon everywhere: three-item lists in every paragraph.
- Symmetrical paragraphs of identical length.
- "It's important to note", "delve", "landscape", "unlock", "elevate".
- Conclusions that summarise instead of concluding.
Cutting these five things removes most of what readers recognise as AI text.
Fact layer
Keep facts out of the drafting stage. Draft the argument, then insert verified specifics — numbers, names, quotes, links — by hand. Models invent exactly this category of detail, and inserting it yourself is faster than auditing invented versions.
Publishing checklist
Title under 60 characters with the target phrase. One H1. Meta description under 160 characters written for a human. Descriptive alt text. Two or three internal links to genuinely related pages — for example AI Writer, AI Summarizer or a relevant Learning Center article. A named author and a last-updated date.
