Teach it to sound like you
The reason people hate AI writing is that it sounds like AI. Mine sounds like me, because I built it a voice file from texts I'd already sent.
Tabled for now. Built, not on the homepage, still true.
The job I gave away
Replying, the twenty-a-day kind. The check-in on an order, the thank-you, the follow-up I kept meaning to send. I love the people. I didn't love typing the same warm paragraph for the ninth time.
What runs now
My system drafts my messages, and they pass a voice check before I ever see them. The check is a file I built from my own messages, measured against 1,244 things I actually wrote. It knows I open with the person, not the business. It uses contractions, short lines, and exactly the emoji I actually use. And it carries a list of phrases I would never say, because I caught it saying them and wrote them down.
Every draft still lands in front of me first. That's rule one. But I edit maybe one in ten now, and the edits are small.
The free version, one afternoon
Scroll your sent messages
Copy ten that sound the most like you at your best. Real ones, to real people, on a good day. Warm texts, a thank-you, one where you were being helpful.
Paste them into a note called My Voice
Under them, write five lines that start with I never say. Fill them in as you catch it. Mine started with a phrase about building a cart that made no sense to me at all.
Start every chat where you want a message written with: Here is how I write
Match it exactly. Then paste the note.
When it hands you a draft, don't fix it silently
Say what was wrong, in one line. Too formal. I wouldn't open with the ask. Nobody says perfect in my house. Then add that line to the note.
Where this goes wrong
It learns from its own drafts. Paste an AI draft you approved back into the voice note and six weeks later it sounds like a polished robot. Only messages you actually sent go in the file. I rebuilt my voice rules from scratch after finding that two-thirds of the examples behind them were templates somebody else wrote.
What you're actually building
A file that gets better every week without you working on it, because every correction goes in. Six weeks from now the drafts stop needing edits, and you'll notice you're answering people faster and warmer than you did by hand.
