Build your voice with AI

Paste what you already have, even a ChatGPT export, and Squawk builds your voice profile for you.

This is the fastest way to set up a voice, and it is built for exactly one situation: you have been feeding your writing into ChatGPT for a while, and it still does not quite sound like you. Squawk turns that same history into a real, reusable voice profile in a few minutes.

It works for any voice: a person (expert), a company, or a product.

Where to find it

Open an expert (or company or product) and go to its Voice tab. Click Build voice with AI. If a voice already exists, the button says Rebuild voice with AI. A guided wizard opens. You can leave and come back; it picks up where you left off.

The ChatGPT trick

The wizard gives you a prompt to copy. Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude, then paste what it gives back into the wizard. The prompt is:

Based on everything you know about how I write, extract my writing voice. Give me: my tone (adjectives and sentence rhythm), the topics I write about, 3 to 5 short verbatim samples of my actual writing, and the things I would never say (anti-patterns). Be specific and concrete.

That pulls your voice out of the tool you have already been training. You can also paste a few of your real posts instead, or paste nothing and answer a few questions.

The five steps

  1. Seed. Paste the ChatGPT extract, a few real posts, or leave it blank. Squawk pulls out your tone, topics, samples, and anti-patterns.
  2. Review. Here is what it pulled. Fix anything that is off. You are the source of truth, so correct it freely.
  3. Questions. A few short questions to sharpen the profile, like "paste one or two posts you are genuinely proud of" and "what phrases make you cringe." Answer what is useful, skip the rest.
  4. Proof. Squawk writes a real post in your new voice and runs it through the same critique it uses on live drafts. You see the sample, a voice score, and anything the critique flagged. Tweak the profile and re-run until it lands.
  5. Save. Writes the voice to the profile and generates a strategy sheet from it. Your voice is live immediately and every future draft uses it.

Why this beats pasting into ChatGPT each time

ChatGPT gives you a good answer and then forgets you. This wizard takes that same input and turns it into a profile Squawk keeps: tone, real samples, and the things you never want to see. From then on, drafts start from your voice instead of a blank prompt. The proof step even shows you how close it is before you commit.

After the wizard

The voice is saved and working. You can still hand-edit any field later, and you should keep sharpening it as you review drafts. See Building a voice that sounds like you for what each field does and how to improve it over time.
