The assistant’s job and non-goals

Lesson 1 of 8 · Build an AI Writing Assistant for Your Brand

In this lesson. One writer, one document type, one success test.

What you will learn

  • Document type
  • Success test
  • Non-goals

Walkthrough

You will pick a document type (brief, blog, ticket) and a success test. Assistants that do all writing do none well. Non-goals keep the prompt small.

Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Build an AI Writing Assistant for Your Brand is usable skill, not a pile of notes.

If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.

Practice

Write the job and three non-goals for your assistant.

Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
