AI content generation by voice starts with instructions, not finished prose. You can speak in notes and still ask for a structured draft. The important part is giving the tool enough information to help without inviting it to fill the gaps with invented details.
In EkkoBoard, use the separate AI button for generation. Dictation is for capturing what you say; a generation prompt asks the tool to write from your instructions. The examples below are starting points to adapt, not guaranteed outputs.
A simple brief you can reuse
Say who the draft is for, what it should accomplish, which facts it must include, what tone you want and what it must not add. Length is useful too: "two sentences" gives a clearer target than "short."
You do not need elaborate prompt language. Natural instructions work as a brief. If a fact is missing, tell the tool to leave it out or ask for it, rather than making the draft look finished at the cost of accuracy.
1. A customer update without a false promise
"Draft a customer update. Their order is delayed and we are checking with the carrier. Say we'll send another update tomorrow. Warm and direct, three sentences. Do not promise when it will arrive or offer a refund."
Before using this, confirm that tomorrow's update is a commitment you can make. Check that the draft has not inserted an explanation for the delay that you did not provide.
2. An email that asks one clear question
"Write an email asking whether the revised mockup is ready for review. Mention that I need to check the mobile layout. Friendly and professional, under 70 words. Don't imply they missed a deadline."
The boundary matters as much as the tone. A sentence like "following up again" can imply a history you did not intend. Remove that if it is not true.
3. Notes turned into a checklist
"Turn these notes into a checklist: confirm the venue, ask about parking, bring the charger, test the projector. Keep every item. Don't add other tasks."
This asks for structure rather than research. Compare the checklist with your spoken notes to make sure nothing was dropped or combined in a way that hides an action.
4. A product caption without made-up results
"Draft a caption about using voice to write a first draft on Android. Explain that I still review before sending. Casual, two sentences. No speed numbers, no best-in-class claim and no invented customer quote."
Marketing language is still factual language. Read for claims such as "instant," "perfect" or "works everywhere" even when you did not request them. The nicest-sounding line is not worth a promise you cannot support.
5. A revision that keeps the meaning
"Make this draft shorter and easier to read. Keep the request for approval, the date and the condition that work starts after approval. Don't add new facts."
This is an editing brief for existing text, not a request to generate a new story. Use the appropriate AI editing tool and check that the condition survived. Removing it could change what someone believes you agreed to do.
The final pass belongs to you
- Check names, dates, numbers and promises.
- Check that the tone suits the recipient.
- Delete filler and any invented backstory.
- Keep private details out of prompts unless you intend to include them.
- Send only after reviewing the text in its destination.
AI generation can help turn a spoken outline into a first draft. It should not decide your facts, relationships or commitments. Start with one small message, give a clear brief and treat the result as something to review.
