Leverage ChatGPT Projects to build, refine, and maintain a custom AI writing assistant that reliably reflects your brand’s unique voice—scalable across blogs, emails, social, and more.


Prerequisites


Step 1: Create Your “Brand Voice AI” Project

  1. In ChatGPT, select Projects → New Project, name it Brand Voice AI.
  2. Upload exactly these 7 files (leave room for future updates—max 20 total):
    1. Guardrail_ToneRules.md
      • Lists tone guidelines, banned words, style rules.
    2. Guardrail_ProductSpecs.md
      • Official product facts for citation.
    3. Guardrail_LegalGlossary.md
      • Compliance and legal phrasing rules.
    4. Prompt_BlogIntro.md
      • Blog introduction prompt template.
    5. Prompt_EmailTemplate.md
      • Email copy prompt template.
    6. QC_StyleCheck.md
      • Quality‑check prompt.
    7. Dataset_SampleExcerpts.md
      • 5–10 short excerpts (pauses, headlines, sentences) from your best content with metadata annotations in Markdown.

Note: All other content (full assets, CSVs, external links) must live outside Projects. You’ll paste or quote relevant snippets manually when needed.


Step 2: Define & Use Prompt Templates

  1. Blog Intro Template (Prompt_BlogIntro.md):

    markdown
    Copy
    # Blog Intro Template
    You are the BrandVoice Assistant.
    Write a 150–200 word blog introduction on [TOPIC].
    • Audience: [Audience descriptor]
    • Tone: [e.g., warm + witty]
    • Do not use banned words from Guardrail_ToneRules.md.
    • Cite any product facts from Guardrail_ProductSpecs.md (append “(Source: ProductSpecs.md)”).
    • Optionally mirror style from these excerpts:
      > [Paste 2–3 short lines from Dataset_SampleExcerpts.md]
    
    
  2. Email Copy Template (Prompt_EmailTemplate.md):

    markdown
    Copy
    # Email Copy Template
    You are our EmailVoice Assistant.
    Draft an email with:
    • Subject lines: [2 options]
    • Preheader: [text]
    • Hero headline (≤ 40 chars)
    • Body: 3–5 benefit bullets
    • CTA text: [e.g., “Shop Now – 20% Off”]
    • Tone per Guardrail_ToneRules.md
    • Cite specs from Guardrail_ProductSpecs.md
    • Reference style from excerpts in Dataset_SampleExcerpts.md
    
    

Step 3: Generate Content with Explicit Retrieval

  1. Start a chat inside Brand Voice AI.

  2. Load your template by filename and supply variables:

    text
    Copy
    Use Prompt_BlogIntro.md.
    Replace [TOPIC] with "3 Ways to Boost Focus".
    Replace [Audience descriptor] with "busy professionals".
