AI writing style: How AI writes like you - voice, tone and style
Today, I’d like to give you a tip for your AI writing style on how you can make texts from AI writing assistants sound like they’ve come from your pen. Even though these systems can produce phenomenally good and fluent texts, they often sound generic and impersonal. But that doesn’t have to be the case! With a little preparation, you can literally force the AI to write in your own personal style.
Train AI assistants to adapt your individual writing style by giving them specific text examples and clear instructions. This increases authenticity and brand loyalty in your digital content.
What I hear again and again:
- I want my AI generator to sound like me
- I want ChatGPT to sound more robotic
In this article, we’ll dive deep into the world of artificial writing and discover together how you can use this technology to your advantage without losing your personal touch.
Why AI needs to write in your voice
As a content creator or marketer, it is essential that you have a recognizable and authentic writing voice. Only when your texts have a distinctive tone and style will readers perceive you as a trustworthy brand. A personal approach also promotes loyalty among your target group. Generic AI texts without a personal touch, on the other hand, come across as distant and impersonal.
Writing voice or brand voice: Writing voice is the unique style, tone and structure through which an author expresses personality and attitude in their writing. It manifests itself in the choice of words, sentence structure and approach to subject, allowing readers to associate a text with a particular author.
For these reasons, it is a great advantage if you train your AI assistants to write in exactly your individual writing style. This makes you look like a hard-working hustler on the outside, but you have an artificial ghostwriter to support you.
How to force the AI to use your writing style
How do you get artificial intelligence to imitate your brand voice? The whole thing works with a process called “text style transfer”. First, you feed the AI one or more examples of your writing – the more, the better. For example, blog posts, articles, product descriptions, emails and so on.
The LLM(Language Learning Model) then analyzes the finest details such as your choice of words, sentence length, perspective, metaphors, sentence structures and so on. From this, it then draws patterns and rules for your unique style.
With a further prompt, you then instruct the AI to formulate in exactly this style when it generates new text content.
Practical implementation in neuroflash
neuroflash understands the importance of the writing voice and has fully integrated it into the tool.
First, you switch to the “Brand Hub”. There you can manage your brand voices, information and prompts.
Under Brand Voice, click on the blue button of the same name.
You now have two options for creating your brand voice:
Create manually
Select “Manual” if you have already created a finished brand voice. Then enter your text in the “Define brand voice” field.
Alternatively, click on “Use template”. Then you only need to fill in the underlined lines.
Don’t forget to save.
Create automatically
The automatic version is easier. As above, you copy a text you have written and paste it into the form. Click on “Analyze” and a few seconds later you will have your finished brand voice.
Then click on “Next” and enter a name on the next screen.
I have saved my voices under the domain name of my projects.
Use your voice
From now on, you will always have your personal writing style active, whether in Chat, Editor or the workflows.
neuroflash even remembers your selection. So the last active voice is always used. And that’s exactly how it should be. Just don’t forget to switch when you’re working on another project.
Prompt to create your writing style
In order for the AI to learn your writing style, you need a sample text from you.
What you also need is a prompt that recognizes and summarizes your tone, style and writing structure.
You can copy this prompt here:
<variables>
{'LANGUAGE', 'EXAMPLE'}
</variables>
<LANGUAGE>English</LANGUAGE>
<EXAMPLE>
{Your sample text to analyze}
</EXAMPLE>
<instructions>
Analyze the writing voice in form of tone, style and structure of the article EXAMPLE above. Output bullet points in LANGUAGE.
<instructions>Insert your sample text between
Save the result of this instruction in your digital notepad.
Whenever you want the AI to write a text, insert this writing voice into the prompt. Use my BloggerPrompt for this.
Let ChatGPT write in your brand voice
Unfortunately, this doesn’t work as elegantly with other chat systems as it does with neuroflash. But there are always ways to use your own writing style in conjunction with artificial intelligence.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT has introduced the “Custom Instructions”. A great system for providing the AI with additional information.
To do this, click on “Customize ChatGPT” in the personal menu at the bottom left. Now copy your previously created writing voice into the top field, activate “Enable for new chats” and click on “Save”.
From now on, every new chat will know your writing style.
Claude and Google Gemini
Neither Claude nor Gemini offer a function for additional instructions. At least at the time of writing this article.
But that’s no reason not to have your texts generated in your “Writing Voice”!
Just add your brand voice before or after each prompt:
Write a blog article....
<writingvoice>
Tone:
The tone of the article is professional, yet friendly and inviting at the same time.
It uses a direct approach ("I'm in!") that engages readers on a personal level.
The author shares personal experiences and insights, which gives the text an authentic feel.
Style:
The writing style is informative and accessible. Technical terms are used, but in a context that is understandable to the layperson.
Short paragraphs and clear, concise sentences contribute to readability.
A mixture of narrative (personal story) and informative sections (achievements, expertise) is used to both inform and engage.
Structure:
The structure of the article is clear and concise, with well-defined sections covering different aspects of Jochen's profession and offerings.
There is a clear separation between personal information (About Me, Professional Training), services (1:1 Consulting, Building a Website) and current projects.
The use of bulleted lists and lists makes it easy to capture key information.
</writingvoice>Of course, you only need this extension for text generation that you want to publish afterwards. For research or similar, you can save yourself the effort.
Personalization with Agility Writer and SEOWriting
In addition to neuroflash and ChatGPT, tools such as Agility, Koala or SEOWriting are also suitable for using your individual tone for AI content. The three tools are structured differently. The procedure varies accordingly.
The more tools you try out, the better you will get a feel for what the sweet spots of the different AIs are for you.
Agility Writer
When it comes to long-form content, Agility Writer is one of the best tools on the market. The customization options for each AI article are high. There are three predefined fields for the writing style:
- Audience
- Tone of Voice
- Point of View
If this is not enough for you, you can still activate the “Custom Instruction & Knowledge” field and insert your generated writing style. See screenshot above.
SEOWriting
SEOWriting has a similar structure. You can also adjust the Tone of Voice and Point of View here.
Use the free text field “Details to Include” for further personalization.
KoalaWriter
KoalaWriter also constantly offers new functions and the Tone of Voice and Point of View fields.
If you want to use your own brand voice, select “Custom” for Tone of Voice. The “Custom Tone of Voice” field will then appear, where you can add your customizations.
Conclusion
As you can see, with a little preparation and the right prompts, you can literally force first-class AI assistants like ChatGPT to write in your personal voice, tone and style. This makes your content sound more authentic, trustworthy and true to your brand.
Another advantage is, of course, the enormous amount of time you save because you can use an AI ghostwriter for many work steps. Test out the options mentioned and find out which setup best suits your needs.
