Frequently asked questions

Do these prompts work with Claude and Gemini, not just ChatGPT?

Yes. They are written in plain language and work with most AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.

Why does my AI output still sound generic?

Usually because the prompt lacks context and raw material. Add your reader description, voice samples and your own notes or experience.

Should I ever publish AI output as-is?

No. Always fact-check, add your experience and edit. Unedited AI text tends to be generic and can contain errors.

Which prompts should I start with?

The outline prompt (7) and the fact-check list (16) save the most time and prevent the most mistakes.

Can I use these prompts for client work?

Yes. Check your client’s rules on AI use and never paste confidential client information into tools you have not reviewed.
