ChatGPT
START HEREFive steps.
Five steps.
No sorcery required.
The aim is a useful result, not an impressive conversation with a robot.
Say who the writing is for.
State what you need them to understand, feel or do.
Paste your rough notes—even ugly notes are fine.
Ask for a draft in your natural tone and preferred length.
Read it aloud, correct anything that does not sound like you, then send.
Try this prompt
Turn these notes into a [email/post/letter]. Audience: [who]. Goal: [goal]. Tone: warm, clear and natural. Keep my meaning and do not invent facts: [notes].
How you know it worked
The finished words sound like you on a good day, not like a committee wearing a tie.
Keep a human in charge. AI can be wrong, incomplete or overconfident. Check important facts, prices, legal/financial/medical information, customer promises and anything irreversible.
