About Me
Start with the Basics
Myths
How does it work?
AI systems are trained on vast datasets of text to recognize patterns and relationships between words. This allows them to generate or understand language in a way that seems intelligent, though the systems do not actually think creatively or have real-world understanding like humans.
Caution
It’s a learning model so be careful what you feed it.
AI is a Tool
It needs your human touch!
The best approach is a hybrid Human + AI approach.

ChatGPT vs Claude vs Bard
This blog post has a great comparison of the 3 models. It is a good article and I recommend it if you are interested. But it was text-based and I wanted a table. So I used a prompt and asked Claude to turn the information into a table.
Prompt: I am going to paste an article below that compares and contrasts Bard, ChatGPT, and Claude. It analyzes them on 10 basic aspects such as cost, token limit, and web browsing capability. Create an easy-to-read table that shows a summary of these features.
Result:
| Aspect | Bard | ChatGPT | Claude |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | Free & $20/month | Free |
| Token Limit | N/A | 4096 (GPT-3.5) & 8192 (GPT-4) *GPT-4 just came out with a 32K token version | 100,000 tokens |
| Web Browsing | Yes | No (GPT-3.5) & Need Plugin (GPT-4) | No |
| Summarization | N/A | Capable | Excellent |
| Image Recognition | Limited & Inaccurate | Requires Plugin (GPT-4) & None (GPT-3.5) | N/A |
| Data Analysis | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Creativity | N/A | Excellent | Good |
| Coding Support (HTML/CSS) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Accuracy | Excellent | Reliable | Reliable |

Strengthen Your Brand
Define Your Content Style
Find some content (two or three paragraphs) that is uniquely you and use AI to help define your style.
AI Prompt: Analyze the style, tone and common phrases in this text. Please summarize the style. Provide suggestions on how I can keep this tone in future prompts <insert the text>
Result:
AI Content Voice Analysis
The tone of the text is friendly, conversational, and aimed to build trust. Some key elements I noticed:
- Uses inclusive language like “we” and “our team” to create a sense of partnership.
- Emphasizes understanding the audience’s pain points around website management.
- Highlights the expertise and proven processes to showcase capabilities.
- Focuses on freeing up time and energy for the client
To maintain this style in future content, I’d suggest continuing to use:
- Conversational language, contractions like “don’t” and “can’t”.
- Relatable analogies that simplify complex topics.
- Explanations of technical processes in plain, easy-to-grasp language.
- “You” statements to speak directly to the audience.
- An enthusiastic, energetic tone with engaging word choices.
- Benefit-focused messaging, explaining how the services save time and energy.
RadiateWP’s Content Style
- Use a friendly, conversational tone that is aimed at building trust.
- Use conversational language that includes contractions such as don’t and can’t.
- Use inclusive language such as we and our to show partnership.
- When possible use analogies and metaphors to simplify complex topics.
- Use simple and easy-to-understand descriptions for those who may not understand website development and management.
- Look for word choice that exudes enthusiasm and positive energy.
Define Your Brand Voice
AI Prompt: Using the information above, and using some of the classic examples of large company’s brand voice (such as Apple and Coca Cola), write a brand voice description for my company.
RadiateWP Brand Voice Example:
Our Brand voice is friendly and conversational. We often translate complex “web speak” into easy-to-understand concepts using metaphor. We are customer-focused, confident, and professional, but we are also approachable and friendly.
Training the AI
Frontload Your Prompts
Create a document that you can easily access with your core purpose, mission, vision, and target audience. Add the brand voice and content style that you just created to this document.
RadiateWP Example
To improve your results, “frontload” your AI bot with information that will help it answer for your specific needs.

Prompt Examples – Step by Step Instructions
* Before the prompt, frontload your information.
** Make sure to choose an AI model that has access to web browsing. (Bard or GPT-4)
- Prompt: “We are looking for new ideas for blog posts. Our blog can be found at xxxxxxxx. Based on our current blog posts and the information above (frontloaded prompt), can you recommend blog topics, including a title, of posts that we have not already included on our blog?”
- Now, you are going to pick one of the blog post titles that it gave you and then type the prompt, “Create a bulleted outline of 5 to 7 things to include in a blog post with the title, “XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Also, write an introductory paragraph for this blog post.”
- To analyze and inventory your current blog, use this prompt…“Analyze our blog posts at https://xxxxxxxxxx.com and create a list of topic clusters identifying the topic and the blog posts in the topic. Put this data into a table where the blog posts are formatted with bullet points and on a separate line.”
- If there are topic categories that have fewer posts, type the prompt, “Make a list of 5 to 10 blog posts (with titles) that are not already covered on the website with topics that would fall into the category, xxxxxxxxxxx. “
AI as a Writer
DO NOT rely on AI to write your content for you. Use it as a tool and then always revise it so that it is consistent with your words and your voice. If you read it and it is not something that you would write or say, reword it to make it yours.
Improve Old Content
Post Formatting
Rich Formatting
Find an old blog post that needs to be repurposed and republished.
RadiateWP Example of a repurposed post.
Prompts:
- Update – At the end of this prompt, I’m going to paste in all the text from a blog post I wrote. Is there any new relevant information to this topic that should be added? Here is the text from the blog post:
- FAQ’s – Create a list of all the questions that this blog post answers. Please format your response in a “Question and Answer” format that I can use for an FAQ section in my blog post. You will be creating the questions, but using the text from my blog post as the answers. I would like a minimum of 5 questions and no more than 10.
- Table – Is there any information from my blog post that you could put into a table?
- Checklist – Is there any information from my blog post that you could turn into a checklist to help people?
- TLDR – Can you provide me with a “Too long; didn’t read” section for the top of this blog post that will quickly summarize the content of this blog post? It should be no more than 3-4 sentences.
- Block Quotes – Can you provide me with 2 or 3 lines from my original blog post that would make for good blockquotes? Something profound that should be emphasized?

Let’s create a Limerick about Co+Hoots.

It’s a beacon for all, the entrepreneurs’ dream!
Wrap Up
I asked Magai, “What did I miss in this presentation?”
AI Prompt:
I just did a presentation called, “Leveraging AI for Content Creation”. I included sections on AI myths, tools to use, what it cannot do, helping define your brand, training the AI, new content ideas, improving old content, and social content ideas. Is there anything else I should include?
Results:
Here are some additional topics that could be useful to cover in a presentation about leveraging AI for content creation:
- Benefits of AI content creation – touch on how it can save time and scale content production.
- Differences between AI and human writing – explain that AI cannot fully replace human creativity and strategic thinking.
- Best practices for using AI – discuss prompts, iterative training, post-editing, etc.
- Creating diverse & inclusive content – talk about the importance of ensuring AI doesn’t perpetuate harmful biases.
- Legal and ethical considerations – overview things like copyright, data privacy, and attribution.
- Future outlook for AI content – share predictions for how the tech may evolve and improve.
- Limits of current AI – manage expectations by mentioning limitations around complex narrative, emotion, humor etc.
- Hybrid human + AI approach – the importance of combining AI with human skills for optimal content.
Let me know if you need me to expand on any of these suggestions! I aimed to provide relevant AI content creation topics without any inappropriate or unethical references.
