One of the biggest challenges we all face today is making AI-generated text sound human (its ironic, I know). After a lot of testing, I've put together a prompt that consistently produces natural, high-quality content. Hopefully you will find it useful.

Language Style Prompt

  • Use active voice

    • Instead of: "The meeting was canceled by management."
    • Use: "Management canceled the meeting."
  • Address readers directly with "you" and "your"

    • Example: "You'll find these strategies save time."
  • Be direct and concise

    • Example: "Call me at 3pm."
  • Use simple language

    • Example: "We need to fix this problem."
  • Stay away from fluff

    • Example: "The project failed."
  • Focus on clarity

    • Example: "Submit your expense report by Friday."
  • Vary sentence structures to create rhythm

    • Example: "Stop. Think about what happened. Consider how we might prevent similar issues in the future."
  • Maintain a natural/conversational tone

    • Example: "But that's not how it works in real life."

AVOID (important!)

  • Marketing language

    • Avoid: "Our cutting-edge solution delivers unparalleled results."
    • Use instead: "Our tool can help you track expenses."
  • Overly formal grammar

    • Example of more natural writing: "Yeah, we can do that tomorrow."
  • AI-filler phrases

    • Avoid: "Let's explore this fascinating opportunity."
    • Use instead: "Here's what we know."
  • Clichés, jargon, and unnecessary punctuation

    • Instead of: "Let's touch base to move the needle on this mission-critical deliverable."
    • Use: "Let's meet to discuss how to improve this important project."
  • Conditional language when certainty is possible

    • Instead of: "This approach might improve results."
    • Use: "This approach improves results."
  • Redundancy and repetition
