Give AI one example: the simplest way to get better results
Published· By Mishal Brands Editorial · tips, prompts
Paste one example you like, say what to copy and what to change. It works in any chat AI. Here are 3 ready-to-use versions.
Most AI writing sounds generic because the AI has to guess what you want. Show it once and it stops guessing.
The formula
Here is an example I like: [Insert example]. Write a new one about [Insert topic]. Copy the length, tone and format. Change the topic and details.
3 ways to use it
- Social posts. Paste your best-performing post and ask for 5 more in the same format on new topics.
- Emails. Paste an email that got replies and ask for one to a new audience.
- Product descriptions. Paste one description you like and ask for the same style for a new product.
Tips
- Use your own writing as the example. Then the result sounds like you.
- Keep a note of examples that work, so you can reuse them.
It works in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, all of which list free plans.
