A talk-it-out writing method using Claude's voice mode
A LinkedIn post by copywriter Daniel Bustamante lays out a simple routine for getting past the blank page. You open Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, in voice mode, explain what you want to write, such as an email or a post, and ask it to interview you with as many clarifying questions as it can. You ramble your answers out loud. Then you ask Claude to drop the filler and draft the piece using a few samples of your past writing as a style guide. His final step is editing it yourself before you publish.
- For
- Anyone who needs captions, emails or posts but stalls on the first sentence, whether you run your own business or already use AI a little and want a better way to work with it. No technical experience needed.
- Cost
- Not stated in the post. The method needs access to Claude with voice mode; check Anthropic's current plans for what voice mode includes.
- Access
- Requires the Claude app with voice mode and a few pieces of your own past writing to share as style examples. The post is public on LinkedIn.
Worth a try if you think better out loud than on a keyboard, since it costs nothing beyond the Claude access you may already have. Skip it if you prefer writing first drafts by hand, and treat the edit step as required, because one commenter noted the good parts can get polished out of the rambling.
Your movePick one real piece you have been putting off, open Claude in voice mode, ask it to interview you about it, then request a draft modeled on two or three things you wrote before and edit it yourself.
