If you’ve already read our first set of tips on how to clean up AI-generated content, you know the basics: trim the filler, check your tone, and always make sure the final post still sounds like you. But once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, what comes next?

These follow-up tips offer eight more ways to improve your AI-assisted writing workflow, sharpen your voice, and stand out on any platform (including AVIXA Xchange!). Whether you’re drafting a blog post, crafting a listicle, or summarizing an event, these tips will help you collaborate more creatively with your tools — and let your perspective lead the way.

1. Rewrite Your Prompts to Rethink Your Possibilities

How you start the conversation with AI matters. Generic prompts like “Write a post about marketing trends” will get you generic output, but being more specific with your prompting will get you far more usable results.

Turn your prompts into tools that explore new directions and multiple angles for your content. Ask questions to challenge the tone or change the format of what you create entirely. Experimenting with different formats, audiences, and perspectives can give your content the kind of glow-up your robotic writing partner could only dream of (I really hope they don't dream).

Ideas improve when prompts are sketches... not scripts. 

2. Write Hooks for Humans — Not Heuristics

A well-placed hook can earn a reader’s trust, curiosity, or click. But AI-generated intros are written to follow patterns, not to grab attention. They’re often vague, padded with buzzwords, and slow to actually start.

Instead of a warm-up, give your readers reasons to care. Scan the draft for the first sentence that feels bold, surprising, or actually interesting — and move it to the top. Then shape the rest of the post around that moment of clarity. Strong openings aren’t about summarizing the post, they’re about inviting someone into it.

Open with intention, not autopilot.

3. Find Blindspots with Chatbots

Even polished drafts can have weak spots — gaps in logic, missing perspectives, or points that need clarification. Before publishing your work, ask your chatbot to take a second look. Prompts like “What’s missing?” or “What questions might readers ask?” can reveal the kind of blind spots that are easy to overlook.

This works especially well when you’re too close to the content to see it clearly (we've all been there). Collaborate with your chatbot and have it make suggestions for improving the quality of your work. Strong writing isn’t just about what you put in, it’s about catching what you didn’t.

Let AI spot gaps before readers do.

4. Cut Clutter. Keep Clarity.

AI writes like I did in high school — long sentences, overqualified claims, and too much formality. That may have impressed Mrs. Bennett, but it can bury your point under a pile of polite phrasing. When things get wordy, try asking AI to simplify, trim, or say it more clearly.

This is especially useful when you’re explaining technical concepts or walking through a workflow. Cleaner writing builds trust because it reads smoother, not because it sounds smarter. When you've got strong ideas, don't hide behind extra words.

If it needs two reads, it needs to be rewritten.

5. Insert Human Here →

If you want better output, give your AI something better to work with... you. The easiest way to get content that sounds like you is to train it on your own writing. Start by pasting in something you’ve written, such as a paragraph, article, or even a social post, then and ask the chatbot to match the tone and voice.

The more context you provide, the more natural and consistent the results you get. You’re not just asking it to write. You’re asking it to channel you. That starts with (literally) plugging yourself into the process.

Human results require human input.

6. From One, Many.

Don't stop once your post is written. It’s only the first version of what you can do with your content. Ask your chatbot to turn it into something else like a listicle, a LinkedIn caption, a comment reply, or even a short video script. One good idea can go a long way when you reshape it for different formats.

This works especially well when you’re trying to connect with different types of readers. Some of them will want depth, others are looking for bullet points, while some just want one great line they can share. Repurposing doesn’t mean repeating, it means reimagining.

A little reshaping = A lot more reach

7. Structure for the Scroll

Even your best ideas can disappear quickly inside a wall of text. Subheads, bullets, bolding, and smart spacing give readers visual landmarks while helping your post feel polished before they’ve read a single word.

AI often ignores formatting, but your readers won’t. Skim your draft like someone scrolling fast, not writing slow. If your eyes don’t know where to land, it’s time to rethink the layout.

Guide the eye, guide the mind.

8. Craft Your Final Cut

A chatbot can help you create content, but only you can craft it. That means shaping not just what it says, but how it feels. Does the pacing build naturally? Does the tone stay grounded? Are the right lines doing the heavy lifting?

Your craftsmanship is what will give the work its rhythm and weight. AI can get you close, but the final version should reflect your timing, your instincts, and your intent. That’s more than polish — that’s your very own unique voice.

Good content is drafted. Great content is directed.

From Prompt to Post… You’re Still the Writer

Writing with AI is all about deliberate and effective collaboration, not handing over control. The sharper your vision, the stronger the result. AI can suggest, structure, and accelerate, but it can’t decide what matters. That's still your job.

Think of these tips as a creative checklist of sorts. They’re not commandments. They’re reminders. When you’re shaping AI-generated content, they help you navigate the process, check your instincts, and elevate good drafts into great ones.
