Show it what good looks like

Do This Now

AI averages out everything it has ever seen. Left on its own, it gives you the most generic version of whatever you asked for.

You can fix that with one step most people skip.

If you have written a tender that won the work, hand it over. If you have got a follow-up email that actually got a reply, paste it in. Give AI something that worked in your business, and tell it: "Match this standard."

The output will read like something you would actually send, not something you would have to rewrite first.

Most people give AI context and boundaries but never show it what good actually looks like. They tell it who the client is and what tone to use, everything except an example of the standard they expect.

Context tells it who you are. Boundaries tell it the rules. A benchmark tells it what the finished product should feel like.

Without a benchmark, AI writes for nobody in particular. Show it one good example and the output starts matching your voice and your standard.

I started pasting winning proposals into every brief about six months ago. A tender that used to take a full morning of editing went out with two small tweaks. I spend less time rewriting now and more time on work that actually needs me.

Any time you ask AI to write something, find one example of what good looks like in your business. Hand it over and watch what happens.
