AI Content Brief Template for Better Results

The template

• Working title:
• Audience (who, what they know, what they struggle with):
• The one thing the reader should take away:
• Key points to cover (in order):
• My own examples or experience to include:
• Format and length:
• Tone (three words) and words to avoid:
• Sources to use (links):
• Call to action, if any:

The line most people skip

“My own examples or experience” is what makes the piece yours. Without it, the model writes the same article as everyone else using the same tool.

Use the brief to review

When the draft comes back, check it against the brief, not your mood. Did it cover the key points? Does it deliver the one takeaway? That makes editing objective and fast.
