Prompting Craft
Make AI write in your existing voice .
You can recognize your voice in writing. You’d have a hard time describing it in instructions. The model has the same problem. So show, don’t only tell. Two short examples imitate better than any list of adjectives.

Why not use a "brand voice" tool?
Jasper sells Brand Voice. Writer sells Custom Style Guides. Lex bakes in writers’ voices it’s already learned. Each is well-built and each costs somewhere between $39 and $129 per month, per seat. They all do versions of the move this trail teaches. They paste your existing writing in as examples behind the scenes so the model imitates it.
You can do this directly. Paste one or two short examples of your past writing into the prompt before the new ask. The model picks up rhythm, sentence length, opening and closing patterns, slang you actually use, and contractions you avoid. The draft shifts toward the examples in a way no list of adjectives ("punchy, conversational, slightly witty") could produce.
Two examples is the right number. One and the model treats it as the only valid pattern. Three or more dilutes the signal. Your past work, or work you’ve admired, both work. About 2 minutes to internalize, then you have it for every future draft.
Questions
- Is my data private?
- Yes. Your prompts and AI responses are deletable, exportable, and only visible to you. We never expose individual prompts to admins, teammates, or Joring employees.
- How long should each example be?
- A paragraph or two each, enough to see your sentence rhythm and word choices, short enough not to overwhelm the prompt. A LinkedIn post, a Slack message, an email opener, a short blog intro: any of those work.
- Can I use someone else’s writing as the examples?
- Yes. If you want a draft "in the style of [writer you admire]," paste two short samples of their public writing. The model will imitate the rhythm. Not duplicate the content. Useful for breaking out of your own habits or trying on a new register.
- What if my voice is too inconsistent to demonstrate?
- Pick the *voice you want to write in*, not the voice you average to. Most people have a few different registers (Slack-casual, internal-doc-formal, customer-facing). Pick the register you want for this draft and use examples from that register.
- Why exactly two? Why not three?
- Research and practice both land on two as the sweet spot. One example and the model treats it as the *only* valid pattern. Three or more averages across the examples and dilutes the signal. Two gives the model a range to interpolate within.
- What happens after the 14-day trial?
- Continue on Pro to keep real-time coaching, guided trails, and your exportable AI record. Or stay on Free with limited features. The trail progress you’ve already made doesn’t disappear.
