This One Tool Will Improve Your Writing Tenfold
How to learn from great writing, and apply what makes it great to your own.
This is genuinely my favorite AI prompt I have ever created.
I don’t want AI to write for me.
But using it to help me learn?
That’s serious leverage.
This prompt will help you understand why a piece of long form writing did so well.
Why it went viral, got high engagement, or why you love it so much yourself.
Which I think is a far better use case than simply having AI write something for you.
Why?
Because this prompt can help you build real knowledge fast on what makes a piece of writing “do well,” or what makes it so great.
All you have to do is study the comprehensive blueprint it gives.
Study what works, emulate it, and keep experimenting until you create the piece of writing that everyone else starts studying.
That’s what the online writing game is all about.
Copy and paste this prompt into Claude or ChatGPT, and then copy and paste a piece of writing you want to study.
A long form post, a Substack article or essay, even your favorite book sections.
If you want, once the breakdown has been provided, ask the same AI chat to act as your writing/learning coach and thinking partner to help you write a long form piece (now with the context of great writing principles) but with your own topic and ideas.
Have the AI teach you, not write for you.
Use this prompt every day for a month straight, study what it gives you, and watch your writing transform into something that other writers inspire to emulate:
