This Free Claude Prompt Teaches AI to Write in Your Voice
How do I get Claude or ChatGPT to write like me instead of sounding like AI?
Give it real samples of how you talk and write, let it study your patterns, and save the result as a voice profile. The free Write Like Me prompt below walks you through the whole thing in about 20 minutes.

Nothing to install. It works on a free Claude account, and it works in ChatGPT too. The full walkthrough is below.
Why AI writing sounds like AI
The number one complaint I hear from agents in my Claude classes is some version of "it doesn't sound like me." They ask for a listing caption and get "Welcome to this stunning home that seamlessly blends comfort and style." Nobody talks like that. Your past clients definitely know you don't talk like that.
The problem isn't the tool. It's that the tool has never heard you. When you ask Claude or ChatGPT for a caption with no samples, it writes like the average of everything it has read. The average of the internet is generic marketing copy.
So you have two choices. Rewrite every draft by hand, which kills the time you were trying to save. Or teach it your voice once and stop fixing the same things over and over.
That second option is what this prompt does. I built it after watching agents spend more time editing AI drafts than it would have taken to just write the post themselves.
What the prompt actually does
You paste the prompt into a new chat and it runs you through five steps, one at a time. It doesn't dump 30 questions on you at once.
Gets your real writing first. Before it asks you anything about yourself, it asks what samples you can hand it. Samples beat interview answers, because most people describe their own voice wrong.
Tells you what it already picked up. It reads everything, shows you what it noticed, and asks you to correct it. Then it only asks the questions your samples couldn't answer.
Analyzes the specifics. Average sentence length, how you open posts, how you close them, the phrases you repeat, whether you use exclamation points, which emoji you actually use.
Hands you a Voice Profile. One clean block you can copy and save, with your real words quoted throughout and a "Never List" of phrases that don't sound like you.
Tests it. It writes three Instagram captions on a topic you pick, asks which one sounds most like you, and has you flag any line you would never say. Then it fixes the profile and saves the winner as your Gold Standard example.
Step 1 is the one that matters most
The quality of your profile comes down to the samples you give it. Here is what works best, in order.
Video of you talking is the best sample there is
A YouTube video, a Reel, a class you taught, a podcast you were on, a Zoom with a client. When you talk, you sound like you. When you write, a lot of people tighten up and start sounding like a brochure.
You can't upload the video file itself, so you need the transcript, which is just text. The prompt tells you how to pull one, but here's the short version:
YouTube: open the video, click the three dots under it, click Show transcript, then select all and copy.
Zoom: go to your recordings and grab the audio transcript file.
Loom: the transcript tab sits right under the video.
iPhone voice memo: recent versions of iOS transcribe memos for you. Open the memo and copy the text.
Instagram or TikTok: the auto captions are usually downloadable, or run the video through a free transcription tool.
No video? Use your phone's voice recorder
This is the move most people skip, and it works just as well. Open the voice recorder on your phone and talk for about ten minutes. The prompt gives you the questions to answer:
What you do and who you help, like you're explaining it to someone at a party
The last time a client asked a question you get all the time, and what you told them
Something people in your industry get wrong that bugs you
A recent win, what happened and why it worked
One piece of advice you'd give someone brand new
Talk, don't perform. Rambling is fine. Ums are fine. Don't write the answers out, because writing them turns them into something you're not.
Written samples work too
Emails you actually sent, captions you wrote, newsletters, blog posts, texts to clients. The prompt aims for roughly 3,000 words of you talking, or 15 to 20 real emails, or 25 to 30 past captions. A mix is best.
The two rules that make or break your profile
The prompt tells you both of these before you send anything. They're worth repeating here because they're where most people go wrong.
Only send things you actually wrote or said
Not your brokerage's marketing copy. Not something your VA or assistant wrote. Not a template post you grabbed from a coaching group. And definitely not anything AI already wrote for you.
If you feed it those, it learns to sound like them instead of you. Less material that is actually yours beats more material that isn't. The prompt will even flag samples that read like corporate marketing and ask whether you really wrote them.
Scrub client details first
Take out client names, addresses, phone numbers and deal terms before you paste anything in. Claude only needs how you talk, not who you were talking to. On emails, the easiest fix is to delete the other person's side of the thread and send only yours.
What a good Voice Profile looks like
The prompt is built to avoid vague descriptions. "Warm and professional" is useless, because it describes every agent in Colorado. A useful profile reads more like this:
Averages 11 words per sentence, with fragments for emphasis
Opens about half of posts with a question
Never uses exclamation points
Says "here's the thing" constantly
Closes with "Send me a message" instead of "DM me"
It also builds your Never List, which ends up being the most useful part. That list pulls from three places: words you tell it you hate, patterns that never show up in your samples, and the usual AI giveaways like "game changer," "elevate," "seamless," "let's dive in," em dashes, and ending every post on a generic inspirational line.
If you're in real estate or mortgage, the prompt also adds a short Fair Housing section. It reminds Claude to describe the property, never the people, and to flag close calls like "perfect for a young family" or "great schools" instead of publishing them. If you're ever unsure about a phrase, run it past your managing broker before it goes out.
How to use your Voice Profile once you have it
You'll get one block of text at the end. Save it somewhere you can find it, like a note on your phone or a Google Doc.
The quick way
Paste the profile at the top of any new chat in Claude or ChatGPT, then ask for your caption, email or script. That's it.
The permanent way
Put the profile in the instructions of a Claude Project. Every chat inside that Project then writes in your voice automatically, without you pasting anything. I'd set up one Project for your marketing (captions, emails, newsletters) and keep the profile there.
Where agents get the most out of it
Listing captions that sound like your other posts instead of a portal description
Follow-up emails after a showing or a listing appointment
Video scripts for Reels and YouTube, which matters because you're the one reading them out loud
Market update posts that put the numbers in your own words
Newsletter intros that read like a note from you, not a company
Pair it with the rest of my free Claude skills
Write Like Me is the first skill I give away for a reason. It makes every other prompt better. Once Claude knows your voice, everything else it writes for you starts closer to done.
A few that work especially well with it:
My AI search blog writer prompt, which writes posts built to get found on Google and AI search
Three free skills that draft my emails, update my CRM and find my meeting times
How to train AI to write social media content that actually sounds like you, my earlier post on the thinking behind this
As an Account Executive with Chicago Title of Colorado, I spend most of my week with agents across Denver Metro and the Front Range, and AI is the topic that comes up in almost every one of those conversations right now. These prompts are the ones I actually use in my own business, and I'd rather hand them out than keep them in a folder.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Write Like Me prompt work on a free Claude account?
Yes. There's nothing to install and no paid features required. Open a new chat at claude.ai, paste the prompt, and follow along. It also works in ChatGPT.
How long does it take to build a voice profile?
Plan on about 20 minutes, most of it spent gathering samples. If you need to record a voice memo first, add ten minutes for that.
What's the best writing sample to give AI so it sounds like me?
A transcript of you talking. A YouTube video, a class, a podcast or a ten-minute voice memo captures how you actually sound better than anything you've written. Emails and captions you wrote yourself are the next best thing.
Can I use AI-written posts as samples?
No. If you feed it AI-generated content, or copy written by your brokerage or an assistant, it learns to sound like that instead of you. Only send things you wrote or said yourself.
Where should I save my voice profile?
Somewhere you can copy it from quickly, like a note or a Google Doc. If you use Claude regularly, put it in the instructions of a Claude Project so every chat in that Project uses it automatically.
