See the Difference

Same task. Same AI. Different approach.

Starting from nothing
You: "Write a thank you note to my team after a successful product launch."

Dear Team,

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for all your hard work on the recent product launch. Your dedication and commitment made this success possible.

Thank you for being such a wonderful team.

Generic. Could be from anyone, about anything.

Starting with your idea
You: "Here's my rough draft: 'Thanks everyone. The launch was crazy but we did it. Maria's debugging saved us. Jake's demo was clutch.' Polish this but keep my voice—I'm informal and direct."

Hey team,

We did it. That launch was chaos—but the good kind. Maria, your debugging saved us. Jake, that demo? Clutch. Everyone brought something that mattered.

Proud of this team.

Personal. Specific. Still sounds like you.

Why This Works

AI is an amplifier. It takes what you give it and makes it bigger, clearer, more polished. But it can only amplify what's there.

When you start with nothing, AI fills the gap with generic patterns—things that sound right but mean nothing. When you start with your thoughts, your details, your voice—AI has something real to work with.

The more you put in, the more you get back.

The Technique

Start with a rough draft, a few bullet points, or even just the key details you care about. Then ask AI to improve it. You'll get something that's actually yours.
