“I asked my AI to draft a blog post while I brewed coffee—by the time I returned, the first draft was ready.”

What is Vibe Writing?
Vibe writing (aka vibe blogging) is the art of blending human storytelling with AI-powered drafting. It’s halfway between a hallway chat and a technical white-paper: conversational but crammed with insight.
Key ingredients
- A clear vibe — fun, empathetic, and jargon-translated.
- AI collaboration — large-language models generate first passes, outlines, or analogies.
- Human steering — you prune, verify, and inject personality.
Why Bother?
| Pain Point | Old Way | Vibe Writing |
|---|---|---|
| Blank page dread | Stare, procrastinate | AI proposes 3 hooks instantly |
| Time to publish | Days | Hours |
| Tone drift | Dry or too casual | Tuned by examples & prompts |
The 5-Step Vibe Workflow
- Seed Prompt – Feed the AI context: audience, goal, anecdotes.
- Outline & Iterate – Ask for a step-by-step outline; tweak headings.
- Draft Generation – Let AI fill sections. Encourage examples & metrics.
- Human Polish – Verify facts, add experience, tighten prose.
- Vibe Check – Read aloud; ensure it sounds like you over coffee.
Do’s & Don’ts
✅ Do inject personal stories—AI can’t fake your lived moments.
✅ Do fact-check numbers and citations.
❌ Don’t copy-paste raw AI output.
❌ Don’t let tooling overshadow clarity.
When Not to Vibe Write
- Confidential or highly regulated content.
- Topics requiring novel research over synthesis.
- Long-form academic papers (use traditional drafting).
