Course outline

1. Tools you'll need

   5 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   You can practise this method with a free AI chat tool and the word processor you already use. Paid plans add features, but the skills in this course apply to any assistant.
2. Where AI Drafting Helps Most

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   AI drafting works best when the job is to get a rough structure on the page quickly. It works less well when the task depends on fresh facts, personal judgement or a sensitive relationship.
3. Setting the Brief for a Draft

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   The quality of a draft depends heavily on the brief you give. A good brief states the audience, purpose, source material, length, tone and what to avoid.
4. Editing for Voice and Accuracy

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Editing is where the draft becomes yours. Read it aloud, check every fact, and remove the generic phrasing that makes AI text sound like anyone wrote it.
5. Structuring Long-Form Documents

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Long documents need a logical architecture before they need sentences. Build the outline first, draft section by section and check that each part earns its place.
6. Creating Your Personal Style Guide

   9 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   A personal style guide turns your voice into a set of rules you can feed into any AI tool. It makes drafts more consistent and reduces the editing you do each time.
7. Careers & next steps

   5 min · Lesson notes, example, action task · 2-question quiz

   Clear, adaptable writing with AI support is valuable in many roles. These careers draw on the drafting, editing and review method you have practised here.
