Teach AI to mimic writing styles with Few-Shot Prompting

Using the 'Few-Shot' technique where you provide several examples of ideal inputs and outputs in the prompt, allowing the AI to replicate a style without needing long explanations.

Example Quality Determines Output

AI doesn't need a lengthy explanation of your 'style' if you provide solid examples. Ensure the samples have a consistent pattern for the best results.

Token and Context Limits

Don't include too many examples that exceed the AI's context limit. 3 to 5 short samples are usually enough for the AI to capture your writing 'vibe'.

Use Clear Labels

Always use clear separators like '---' or 'Example:' labels so the AI doesn't get confused between your instructions and the sample text you want it to mimic.

Few-Shot Prompt Structure for Writing Style

Target: ChatGPT / Claude
I want you to act as a professional copywriter. Here are some examples of my writing style: Example 1: [Insert your first writing sample here] Example 2: [Insert your second writing sample here] Example 3: [Insert your third writing sample here] Now, using the same tone, rhythm, and vocabulary style as the examples above, write a short blog post about: [Insert your new topic here]
Step by Step

Implementing Few-Shot Prompting Techniques

  1. Open the ChatGPT, Claude, or your preferred LLM interface.
  2. Prepare at least 2 to 3 existing writing samples that you want to emulate.
  3. Type a context instruction at the beginning of your prompt (e.g., 'Please mimic the writing style below').
  4. Use labels like 'Example 1:', 'Example 2:', and so on for each writing sample.
  5. Add the label 'New Input:' or 'New Topic:' at the end of the prompt.
  6. Provide specific instructions for the desired output based on the new input.
  7. Press 'Enter' or click the 'Send' button to generate the text.
