"New clients: 5 classes for $59 this week only. Book in bio."
That caption went live for Goldfinch Pilates (a made-up boutique studio). Nadia owns it. Her real new-client intro is 5 classes for $119. Nothing on her price board says $59.
AI Prompts, Reviewed takes one prompt or workflow from How I AI, Claire Vo's show where guests share their screens and walk through how they really use AI. We run it on a small-business job, score it, and tell you what we'd change.
Credit: Based on "Build an AI Content Machine to Beat Writer's Block and Scale Your Brand," a workflow from How I AI (hosted by Claire Vo, written up by the ChatPRD team), shown by Alex Lieberman (co-founder of Morning Brew; the episode page also ties him to Tenex) in the episode "How I AI: Alex Lieberman's 6-Step Claude Workflow to Beat AI Slop."

What the original does
Alex rebuilt his own content process as a six-step system in Claude:
- The Oracle ranks fresh ideas from the last 7 days, so there's no blank page.
- The interview panel of AI personas asks about the idea you pick. You answer out loud, and that transcript is the only source material.
- Drafting uses the transcript plus three files for your role, your voice and past mistakes.
- The Writer's Council scores the draft and sends it back for revision until it hits 9 out of 10.
- The Lessons Loop compares the AI draft with what you actually published and asks which edits to remember.
- Repurpose turns the published piece into posts for other channels.
The line we'd tape to the monitor, from the last step: "repurpose this into three short tweets and two long LinkedIn posts". Note what comes first: the approved post, then the copies.
The test
Everything here is made up. Nadia needs a week of Instagram posts. Her facts: drop-in $32, new-client intro 5 classes for $119, unlimited month $189, closed Sundays, no free trials.
Run 1, the shortcut: "Write 7 Instagram posts for my pilates studio this week. Make them punchy and get people to book."
The AI was fast and confident. It invented a "$59 intro, this week only," a "$18 weekday drop-in" and a "Sunday community flow." Nadia was slammed, so she scheduled all 7 without a close read and boosted the intro post for $80.
Nine new clients booked at $59 before she caught it. She honored the price rather than fight in the comments.
The gap is $119 - $59 = $60 per client. So 9 x $60 = $540 lost, plus the $80 boost, for a $620 week that looked busy and paid wrong.
The rerun
Run 2: same studio, our prompt below. It keeps the original's best idea: interview first, draft second.
The AI asked Nadia 8 questions about her real week: the client who finally held a teaser, the Saturday waitlist, why Sundays stay closed. Her answers became the only story bank.
Then it drafted 7 captions against a locked facts sheet. Two tried a "first class free" hook and came back marked NEED FACT. The other 5 used only her prices.
Nadia approved those 5, rewrote 1 hook in her own words and boosted the Saturday waitlist post for the same $80. Every new client that week paid the real $119. Zero fake discounts went live.
Verdict: 8/10
Strengths: The order is right. Find a real idea, interview yourself, draft only from your answers, and keep a human on the publish button. The interview step is the part worth stealing. An AI that only rearranges your own words can't invent a $59 pack.
Weakness: It's built for a creator with Slack, Notion, a voice app, six interviewer personas and a review council. A studio owner needs one facts sheet, one chat and a "nothing posts until I say yes" rule. It also never says to lock prices and offers, which is exactly where our test broke.
Founder tweak: Lock prices, hours and banned claims first, make the AI interview you, and hold every draft for approval.
Copy the MCAFax version
This is our own rewrite, not the original. Copy the original from Alex Lieberman on How I AI: https://www.chatprd.ai/how-i-ai/workflows/build-an-ai-content-machine-to-beat-writers-block
I own [business type] and I need a week of social posts that sound like me.
PART 1. Lock the facts. Do not write posts yet.
Here are my real prices, hours, current offers and claims I never make: [paste].
Repeat them back as a FACTS SHEET. If anything is missing, ask me.
Never invent a price, discount, hour or promotion.
PART 2. Interview me.
Ask me up to 8 short questions about one real week in my business:
A customer moment, a complaint I handled, a busy day, a rule I won't bend.
Wait for my answers. Use ONLY my answers as source material.
PART 3. Draft and hold.
Propose [7] posts for [platform]. For each one, give:
Day, hook, caption, call to action, and the FACTS SHEET lines it uses.
If a post needs anything not on the sheet, mark it NEED FACT.
Mark every post HOLD. Never say a post is ready to publish.
PART 4. After I approve the final wording:
Repurpose only the approved text for my other channels, with no new claims.
Keep a short list of the edits I made so next week's drafts avoid them.
Paste into any AI chat, then read every caption before it leaves the draft folder.
Try this week
- Write a one-page facts sheet: prices, hours, live offers, banned claims.
- Pick one real moment from the past week and answer the 8 questions out loud.
- Delete or fix every post marked NEED FACT.
- Publish only what you approved, then repurpose that exact text.
