In today’s video, I wanted to show you a technique for being able to get a language model to sound more like you when it’s generating content. One of the ways that I see a lot of people using a language model is to generate content for, could be marketing campaigns, could be an email, a response to an email, a whole range of different things. However, getting the language model to actually sound like you is a challenge. Now, in Claude, we have the ability to use writing styles. There’s four writing styles included as standard, but you can create your own writing style. So I wanted to show you the key differences between them and then give you an idea as to how to create your own writing style. In this case, it’s a pretty straightforward prompt, nothing too detailed here. We’re just asking the system to generate an email that we might use on a day-to-day basis. The initial response is okay. It’s giving you what you asked for, but it’s very generic in its response. It’s very vanilla. There’s no personality. There’s no indications that you’ve actually written this message. So here’s the same prompt, but with my own personal writing style applied to it. And you can see here that the output actually sounds like something that I would write. You may not be familiar with my writing style, but it’s generally relatively brief, bullet point related. Here’s the outcomes. Here’s what we need to do next. So let’s have a look at the writing style. This is a relatively lengthy description of how I communicate. So how did I actually generate this? The process I used was a very specific prompt that was written that analyzed emails from my sent items in Outlook. So one day I took about the last 100 emails that I’ve ever written. I anonymized them and I gave them to the language model with a specialized prompt and it then in turn developed this prompt for me. That’s a pretty common aspect of using language models in a smart way. So if you’re generating content using a language model, getting it to sound like you is critical. So let me know if you want to know how to do this.
