The Voice-First Question

"Can the model recite our 'who + why' in 25 on-brand words?"

If your AI can't nail your brand essence in one sentence, every other prompt will sound generic. Context is your foundation.

Why Context Comes First

Think of Context like scouting the beach before planting your umbrella. You need to understand the landscape—your market position, competitive environment, and cultural context—before you can establish your unique voice position.

Without clear Context, AI tools default to vanilla corporate speak because they don't know who you are or why you exist. Your Voice Charter becomes the GPS that guides every AI interaction.

Building Your Voice Charter

The foundational document that defines your "who + why" so AI models can recite it consistently

Brand Essence (25 words)

Your core "who + why" distilled to its purest form. This becomes the opening line in every AI prompt to establish voice context.

Example:

"We're the Miami-spirited AI brand strategists who help SaaS companies turn scrambled copy into voice-ready prompts that sound unmistakably authentic."

Market Position

Where you sit in the competitive landscape and what makes you different. Helps AI understand your unique angle.

Example:

"Unlike traditional brand consultants who ignore AI, we're built specifically for the voice-first, AI-powered content era."

Cultural Context

The cultural influences and authentic elements that color your voice. What makes you sound like you, not like everyone else.

Example:

"Born from Miami's diverse energy—we celebrate authentic personality over vanilla corporate speak, bringing sabor to systematic strategy."

Voice Principles

3-5 core principles that guide how you communicate. These become the rules AI follows in every piece of content.

Example:

Always helpful, never pushy
Transparent about AI use
Practical over theoretical
Miami warmth with business smarts
