The 10% Edit Workflow
- Speak the prompt naturally.
- Let dictation produce the first draft.
- Edit the final 10%: remove rambling, add constraints, and name the desired output.
- Send to ChatGPT or Claude.
Prompt Shape
Use this structure:
- Context
- Goal
- Constraints
- What you already tried
- Output format
- Questions before answer, if needed
Example
I am planning a two-week affiliate validation sprint. The product is a voice dictation app for AI builders and indie hackers. Give me a daily execution plan with community posts, SEO articles, tracking metrics, and failure criteria. Ask clarifying questions only if they materially change the plan.
When This Works
- Strategy prompts
- Debugging explanations
- Product planning
- Writing briefs
- Research synthesis
When Typing Is Still Better
- Short prompts
- Exact names and symbols
- Code snippets
- Anything you cannot say clearly out loud
I am testing Typeless for this workflow because it is positioned around turning messy thoughts into clear text across apps like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gmail, Slack, GitHub, and Notion.
Try it on one long prompt before deciding whether it belongs in your workflow.
