How to write better with AI (essays, emails, stories)
A blank page is the hardest part of writing. Blackhole AI can help you get started, organise your ideas and polish what you wrote, while it still sounds like you. Here's how.
Start with a plan
Tell the AI what you're writing, who it's for and how long it should be, and ask for an outline first. Change the outline until it fits, then write.
- "I need a 500-word essay on why sleep matters for teenagers. Give me an outline with three main points."
- "Help me plan a short scary story. Ask me questions about the characters first."
Write it, then ask for feedback
Write your own draft, then paste it in and ask what's working and what isn't. You learn more from feedback on your writing than from reading the AI's.
- "What's the weakest paragraph and why?"
- "Point out grammar mistakes but don't rewrite it."
- "Is my ending strong enough?"
Polish emails and messages
For everyday writing, the AI is great at making things clearer and kinder: "Make this email to my boss shorter and more polite" or "Help me say no to this invitation nicely".
Keep it yours
- Ask it to keep your words and voice: "Only fix what's wrong."
- Check facts, names and dates yourself.
- For school, follow your teacher's rules on AI.
