AI Prompts for ChatGPT for Writing

I need you to write in my voice for the rest of this conversation. My writing style is [DESCRIBE: e.g. direct, conversational, no filler phrases, short sentences, occasional dry humor]. I write for [TARGET AUDIENCE]. Here are three examples of my existing writing so you can calibrate: [PASTE EXAMPLES]. From now on, match this voice in everything you produce.

Before we write anything, I want to brief this piece properly. The format is [FORMAT: e.g. 1500-word blog post / email sequence / LinkedIn article]. The audience is [AUDIENCE]. The goal is [GOAL: e.g. convince readers to book a demo / explain a complex topic / generate newsletter signups]. The single main point is [MAIN POINT]. Key things to include: [LIST]. Key things to avoid: [LIST]. Confirm you understand the brief before we start.

For this piece I want a specific tone: [DESCRIBE TONE, e.g. authoritative but approachable, urgent but not alarmist, warm but professional]. Here is an example of writing that hits this tone perfectly: [PASTE EXAMPLE]. Before drafting, reflect back what you understand the tone to be, and flag any parts of my brief that might conflict with it.

Do not write the full piece yet. Instead, propose three different structural approaches for this [FORMAT] about [TOPIC]. For each structure, give me: the opening hook type, the logical flow of the main body, and how it ends. I will choose one structure and then we will write it section by section.

Before we write, I want to rule out the patterns that make AI writing obvious. Never use these phrases in anything you produce for me: "In the ever-evolving landscape", "It's worth noting", "Delve into", "In conclusion", "Leverage", "At the end of the day", or any sentence that starts with "I". Also avoid: [ADD YOUR OWN]. Confirm these constraints and flag any others you would add.

Write only the opening section of the [FORMAT] we briefed. Stop after the first [200 words / one section / the hook]. I will give you feedback before you continue. Do not write the full piece.

Write five different opening hooks for this piece. Each hook should use a different technique: a counterintuitive statement, a specific surprising statistic, a short story, a direct challenge to the reader, and a concrete scene. Do not write the full article yet. I will pick the best hook and we will continue from there.

Write three different versions of [THIS SECTION / the introduction / the call to action]. Version 1 should be direct and concise. Version 2 should be more narrative and story-driven. Version 3 should lead with a question or challenge. I will combine elements from the versions I like best.

Here is what I have written so far: [PASTE YOUR DRAFT]. Continue from where I left off. Match my exact voice, sentence length, and paragraph structure. Write the next [NUMBER] words only, then stop and wait for my feedback.

The piece is outlined below. Write only the [SECTION NAME] section in full. This section should accomplish [GOAL OF SECTION]. It should be approximately [LENGTH]. Here is the full outline for context: [PASTE OUTLINE].

Edit the following text to be 30% shorter without removing any key ideas. Cut filler phrases, redundant qualifiers, and anything that delays the main point. Do not add new content. Return the trimmed version with a brief note on what you removed: [PASTE TEXT].

Go through this draft sentence by sentence. For each sentence that is weak, vague, or uses passive voice, rewrite it to be active, specific, and direct. Mark each change with [EDITED] so I can review them. Leave strong sentences alone: [PASTE DRAFT].

The opening paragraph of this piece is not pulling its weight. Rewrite it five different ways, each using a different technique to create immediate engagement. Keep the same subject matter but change the entry point entirely: [PASTE OPENING PARAGRAPH].

Read this full draft and identify any paragraphs or sentences that feel out of voice compared to the rest. For each one, explain why it feels off and suggest a rewrite that matches the dominant tone: [PASTE DRAFT].

The conclusion of this piece is weak. Rewrite it so it: (1) does not start with "In conclusion" or any variant, (2) reinforces the single main point without restating it word for word, (3) ends on something memorable rather than trailing off. Here is the current ending: [PASTE ENDING]. Here is the main point of the piece: [MAIN POINT].

Write ten headline options for this piece. Include: two that lead with a number, two that ask a question, two that make a bold claim, two that are short and punchy under six words, and two that use the word "you". Mark the three you think are strongest and explain why: [PASTE PIECE OR SUMMARY].

Write three meta description options for this piece. Each should be under 155 characters, include the primary keyword [KEYWORD], and give the reader a clear reason to click. Do not start with the article title: [PASTE PIECE OR SUMMARY].

Take this [ORIGINAL FORMAT, e.g. blog post] and adapt it into a [TARGET FORMAT, e.g. LinkedIn post / email / Twitter thread / slide deck outline]. Keep the core argument and key points but reformat for the new medium. Do not just copy paragraphs: [PASTE ORIGINAL CONTENT].

Read this piece and extract eight sentences that would work well as standalone pull quotes or social media posts. They should be memorable, specific, and make sense without the surrounding context: [PASTE PIECE].

Write three versions of a TL;DR summary for this piece. Version 1: one sentence. Version 2: three bullet points. Version 3: a short paragraph of no more than 60 words. Each version should stand alone and capture the essential point: [PASTE PIECE].
