Your speech. With a story only you know.
Five questions turn a real memory into a short, personal speech.
Published: · Version 1
A prompt to try
I am giving a short speech for [OCCASION]. First ask five questions, one at a time, waiting for each answer: about the person, a real shared memory, an endearing habit, the audience and my usual tone. I may leave details out. Then write 250–300 words. Open with a concrete moment, tell exactly one of my anecdotes and end with a simple, memorable sentence. No clichés, invented quotes, memories or embarrassing revelations. Use only details I approve. Before writing, ask for two sample sentences from me if my tone is still unclear. Separately suggest two places I could shorten when reading aloud. Start with the first question.
Copy the text into your AI, fill in the placeholders and check the answer.
