Podcast Lesson
"Build a personalized AI editor using your own archive After years of failing to get AI to edit her work usefully, Jasmine Sun found a method that worked: she loaded her entire Substack archive plus personal retrospective notes — 'me writing what was good and bad about everything I've ever written' — into a Claude project, so the AI could learn her specific aspirations rather than a generic standard. She described the breakthrough: 'If I make Claude into an editor that is not just trying to grade and give feedback on my work against some genericized standard of what good writing is, but actually against my personal aspirations for writing, it can give feedback that I find much much more helpful.' Anyone using AI for feedback on their own work can replicate this by first training the model on their own body of work and self-critiques before asking it to evaluate new drafts.
