The 4 Layers Explained
| Layer |
What It Does |
Why It Matters |
| 👤 Role/Persona |
Tells AI who to pretend to be |
Sets the baseline for all outputs |
| 🎙️ Voice/Tone |
Tells AI HOW to write |
Makes outputs sound like you |
| 🚫 Do Not Say |
Tells AI what to AVOID |
Prevents compliance issues and clichés |
| 📍 Local Knowledge |
Gives market-specific context |
Makes outputs locally relevant |
Pro tip: The "Do Not Say" layer is the most forgotten but most important. If you don't tell AI what NOT to do, it will reach for every cliché in the book.
