# Training it on your voice

Most clients want the agent to write things for them — emails, social posts, proposals, follow-ups. The hardest part is making the output sound like you and not like generic AI slop. The good news: there is a clean recipe.

### The voice-cloning recipe

Make a skill for it. Have the agent read your past sent emails — or your tweets, your LinkedIn posts, transcripts of your videos — and save a skill that captures how you write in that medium. Read first, then save the skill. The pattern in three steps: 1. Feed it your real outputs. Past sent emails, your last 50 social posts, transcripts of your videos, whatever medium you want to clone. 2. Have it analyze. "Read these. Note the patterns: tone, sentence length, openings, closings, what I avoid, what I overuse." 3. Have it make a skill. "Save what you found as a writing skill called [medium]-voice. Next time I ask you to draft a [medium] post, run that skill." Now you have a permanent voice skill for that medium. Repeat per medium and you end up with: an email-voice skill, a tweet skill, a LinkedIn skill, a video-script skill, a sales-message skill.

### Train on your own work, not on competitors

Beginners reach for "feed it the top 10 voices in my niche." That is a worse signal than your own existing work. You can train it either way. Give the agent a list of creators you admire, have it scrape their best-performing posts, and save a skill that writes in that style. Or train it on your own past posts — faster, and you sound like yourself instead of drifting toward someone else's brand. Both work. Training on your own is faster and stays on-brand.

### Iterate the skill the way you actually edit

The first draft will be 70% there. Do not rewrite it from scratch. Edit it minimally, and feed the diff back. Every time the agent writes something, change it where it's wrong, send the edit back, and say "update the skill so you know for next time." The loop:

### Output → I edit → I send the edit back → "Update the skill"

After about ten cycles, you will stop editing. The skill has caught up.

### Catch weird inferences

Sometimes the agent makes a strange inference about your voice and bakes it in. ("Always use semicolons." "Open every email with 'Hi friend.'") If you notice recurring quirks, tell the agent: "you've started doing X in your drafts. I don't want that. Update the voice skill to remove it." The agent fixes the skill itself. You never have to look at it.

### Voice notes as prompts

A short tip, especially good for setting up new skills: instead of typing a long prompt explaining what you want, talk into your phone for two minutes, send the voice note to the agent, and let it transcribe and act. The benefits: you say more in less time, you sound like yourself, you stop self-editing while you talk. The agent gets a richer signal than typed prompts usually give.

### Apply this beyond writing

The voice-skill pattern works for any output the agent generates. Voiceovers. Slides. Reports. Internal docs. Proposal templates. Anything that needs to look or sound like it came from you. Same recipe: feed it your past outputs, ask it to extract the pattern, save as a skill. Train the agent to write in your voice, so the output stops sounding like generic AI slop.
