AI Guide

Use AI to vary purpose, not facts

Keep one approved source beside every derivative draft.

Who this helps: Creators and small-business owners

Bring: Source text, protected facts, audience and three distinct purposes.

Follow the workflow

  1. Mark the source version and facts to preserve. Remove private identifiers before using an external assistant.
  2. Ask for a takeaway, practical detail and lesson/question. Specify a different audience need for each.
  3. Compare all drafts against the same source. Reject invented anecdotes, invented results and changes to scope.
  4. Edit for the destination, then save each version with its source note. If the source is corrected, review the variants again. Publication remains a manual action.
Worked example · illustrative, not a reported result

Fictional distinction: a packing-list source becomes an explanation of why, a how-to step, and a reflection question. It does not become three claims that packing lists eliminate every mistake.

Common problem and recovery

If all versions start the same way, ask for different reader questions before asking for different wording.
