How Do I Use AI Without Losing My Brand Voice?
Your brand voice is what makes you feel like you.
Let’s talk real quick. Using AI can save you time. It’s like having a helper who works fast and never gets tired. But if you’re not careful, that helper can sound like every other business out there.
Your brand voice is what makes you feel like you. It’s the way you talk, write, and connect with people. AI can copy words, but it won’t feel like your brand unless you teach it
AI Isn’t Magic. It’s a Tool.
People think AI is just going to know everything. Nope. It needs guidance. Just like a new employee, it needs to learn how you speak and what matters to your business.
You have to feed it the right stuff. Words you like to use. Phrases your customers recognize. Stories or examples you’d really say in real life.
Stay Real, Even When It’s Fast
AI can help you write emails, posts, or product pages. But if it sounds too perfect, too polished, people scroll right past it. They want real. They want to hear you.
Use AI to get started, not to finish. Let it write the draft, then you go in and tweak it. Change the tone. Add your flavor.
Teach It Who You Are
If you always use certain words, tell the AI. If your style is friendly or funny or calm, say that too. Give it old emails or blogs you wrote. That helps it learn your style faster.
And if you’ve got inside jokes, little phrases, or even slang you use with customers? Add those. It makes your writing feel alive.
It’s Okay to Sound Like a Human
Your customers don’t expect perfect grammar. They want to feel something. That comes from rhythm, personality, and being a little imperfect.
Sometimes a short sentence hits harder. Sometimes a weird one sticks in their head. That’s okay. That’s your voice doing its job.
This Might Help
I wrote an article some time ago to help everyday people use ChatGPT for everyday brand voices or quick excerpts. It gained a lot of traction on Facebook so i decided to revamp it for you here:
Make ChatGPT Sound Like You
You know your brand. You know how it should sound. But every time you use AI, it sounds like a robot that took a business class. That’s not what your customers connect with. They connect with you.
