AI Content That Still Sounds Like You: A Responsible Workflow

Use AI to speed up drafts without losing your voice, accuracy, or credibility.

🤖

AI is a starting point, not the finish line

The fastest teams treat AI as a first draft engine, then refine with human judgment.

Your brand voice is built from real experience, so every draft needs a pass that adds specificity, proof, and perspective.

Build a brand voice brief

A short voice brief keeps your content consistent across contributors and tools.

Include tone, vocabulary, and examples of posts that feel on-brand.

  • Tone: direct, helpful, and plain language.
  • Avoid: exaggerated promises or vague claims.
  • Use: metrics, customer stories, and real outcomes.

Use a two-pass drafting workflow

Pass one: generate multiple angles and pick the best structure.

Pass two: rewrite key sections in your own words, add examples, and remove filler.

  • Replace generic phrases with specific details.
  • Add context that only your team would know.
  • Double-check accuracy and sources.

Quality checklist before publishing

A short checklist prevents low-value content. It also protects your brand and audience trust.

  • Does this solve a real problem for our audience?
  • Is there a clear takeaway or action?
  • Is the claim supported by data or experience?

Treat AI as a collaborator

AI can help with outlines, headlines, and variations, but your team should own the final voice.

That balance is what keeps content useful, original, and compliant with publisher policies.
