Ghostwriter

Getting better results with Ghostwriter

Ghostwriter works best when you teach it how you think, not just how you write.

What is Ghostwriter?

Most AI writing tools produce output that is technically correct but sounds like everyone else using the same tool.

Ghostwriter fixes that. It learns from examples of your writing and uses them to shape the output. Not what you think. How you think.

It has two inputs. Writing examples teach cadence, vocabulary and rhythm. Voice rules are explicit instructions about what to do and what to avoid. Together they give the generator a clearer picture of how you write and how you want to sound.

Ghostwriter affects generation only. It does not influence your score.

What should I put in Writing Examples?

Paste content that genuinely sounds like you. Not your best work, your most representative.

Good examples
LinkedIn posts you have written
Emails that sound like you
Articles or newsletters
Drafts you never published
Avoid
Marketing copy from your company
Generic AI output
Writing from other people
Content that does not sound like you

What should I put in Voice Rules?

Think of these as instructions to a human ghostwriter. Specific beats generic every time.

Weak
Professional, engaging, insightful
Strong
Avoid buzzwords. Challenge assumptions. Short paragraphs. Expose contradictions. Never sound motivational.

Examples that work well:

My results still sound generic

Usually one of three things:

1
Your examples are not distinctive enough. Try posts where you took a clear position.
2
Your voice rules are too vague. "Be direct" means nothing. "Never use passive voice" does.
3
You are writing about topics you do not have strong opinions on. Ghostwriter can match your voice but it cannot manufacture conviction.

Start with the voice rules. Most users see more improvement there than from adding more examples.

Can I use another writer's style?

Yes. But do not paste their writing. Describe what you like about it instead.

Rather than pasting someone's posts, add voice rules like:

Combine their stylistic characteristics with your own experiences and opinions. That combination is where the most distinctive output comes from.

Direct, Measured and Sharp still matter

Ghostwriter controls how the post sounds. Direct, Measured and Sharp control how the argument is made.

Ghostwriter controls
Your voice
Direct, Measured, Sharp controls
Your mood

The same voice works across all three. Try generating the same topic in each style. You will hear your voice stay consistent while the argument changes shape.

A simple starting point

If you are not sure where to begin:

01
Add three posts that sound like you
02
Add five voice rules
03
Generate the same topic in Direct, Measured and Sharp
04
Compare the outputs, then refine your voice rules until the result feels familiar

Most users get better results from improving their voice rules than from adding more examples.
