a self-guided writing coach — you write, it asks the right questions
Writer isn't an AI that writes your assignment. It's a set of prompts that turn any AI chat into a coach — one that asks you questions instead of handing you answers, so the writing that comes out is always actually yours.
Pick the stage you're stuck on below, copy the prompt, and paste it into whatever AI chat you already use. Then just talk to it like you'd talk to a really patient tutor.
Writer's Promise
I'll ask you questions. I'll never write it for you. The words are always yours.
1
Brainstorm
Stuck before you've even started? This prompt makes the AI dig ideas out of you instead of suggesting its own.
I'm working on a piece of writing about [YOUR TOPIC HERE]. Don't give me ideas — instead, ask me one question at a time to help me find my own ideas. Wait for my answer before asking the next question. Stop after 5 questions and summarize what I said back to me.
2
Outline
Turns your brainstormed ideas into an order — without writing a single sentence of the actual piece.
Here are my ideas for a piece of writing: [PASTE YOUR IDEAS HERE]. Help me organize them into an outline with a beginning, middle, and end. Ask me which idea should come first and why, instead of deciding for me. Give me the outline as a short list, not full sentences.
3
Draft feedback
You write the actual draft yourself first. This prompt gets you real feedback — not a rewrite.
Here's a draft I wrote myself: [PASTE YOUR DRAFT HERE]. Please don't rewrite any of it. Instead, tell me: (1) the one part that works best and why, (2) the one part that's most confusing and why, (3) one specific question I should ask myself before I revise.
4
Revision
For when you know something's wrong with a specific part but can't figure out how to fix it.
Here's a paragraph I'm stuck on: [PASTE THE PARAGRAPH HERE]. Don't rewrite it for me. Instead, ask me questions that help me figure out what I actually want to say, then let me try rewriting it myself.
5
Polish
A last grammar/spelling pass — one that flags issues without changing how your writing sounds.
Here's my finished draft: [PASTE YOUR DRAFT HERE]. Check it for spelling and grammar mistakes only. List each one separately with the fix, but don't change my wording, sentence style, or ideas — I want it to still sound like me.
