Use AI to edit without losing your voice

OUTCOME
Improve one paragraph while retaining your facts, point of view and distinctive wording.

YOU NEED
A chat assistant and a paragraph you wrote yourself.

1. Write a rough version yourself
Spend five minutes saying what happened and why it matters. Mark one sentence that sounds like you and one fact that must remain exact.

2. Request a diagnosis before a rewrite
Ask where the logic is unclear, where repetition appears and what the reader is missing. Choose one problem to fix.

3. Set an editing boundary
Ask for a light edit that preserves your marked sentence and facts. Request a list of meaningful changes so you can see what was altered.

4. Read it aloud
Restore any wording that feels unnatural. Check all names and claims. Save your original beside the revised paragraph so you can learn from the edits.

PROMPT
Edit this paragraph for [specific issue]. Keep my meaning, factual claims and this sentence unchanged: [sentence]. Do not add accomplishments, quotes or facts. First diagnose the issue, then offer a light edit and a short explanation of changes. Draft: [text].

EXAMPLE / EXPERIMENT
“I tested three versions and the second worked” should not become “I pioneered a revolutionary solution.” Better rhythm is useful; invented importance is not.

CHECK YOUR RESULT
[ ] Every fact existed in your draft.
[ ] Your key sentence survives.
[ ] You would comfortably say the final text aloud.

IF IT FAILS
If the result becomes generic, reduce the edit scope to one sentence. Supply a sample of your own writing rather than asking it to imitate another writer.
