OpenAI’s ChatGPT Work Now Mimics Your Personal Writing Style

OpenAI has just dropped a feature that feels a bit like giving your AI assistant a personal stamp. The new “Writing Style” option inside ChatGPT Work promises to learn how you write – the words you favour, the sign‑off you always use, even the way you capitalise “iPhone” or “AI”. In short, the bot can now churn out drafts that sound unmistakably like you.

How does it work? Simple, but it does involve a little sharing. You connect the everyday tools you already use for work – Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, SharePoint, and the like – and the AI scans the content you’ve authored there. It isn’t snooping on everything in the world; it only analyses the text you’ve created in those linked apps. From there, the system picks up patterns: recurring vocabulary, sentence length, tone (formal, friendly, sales‑y), and those little habits that make your prose unique.

Once the model has built a “style fingerprint”, every time you ask ChatGPT to draft an email, a report intro, or a quick Slack reply, it layers that fingerprint on top of the usual AI‑generated text. The result? A draft that might start with “Hey team,” and end with “Best, John” – just the way you’d write it yourself.

It’s worth noting that the AI does not learn from anything you type directly into the ChatGPT chat window. The learning happens only through the external apps you choose to link, which helps keep the personalisation a bit more compartmentalised.

Want to turn it on? Head over to the ChatGPT web app, click on Settings, then Personalisation. Under “Writing Style” toggle the switch, pick the level of customisation you prefer, and you’re good to go. The change rolls out instantly on both the web and mobile versions – provided you’re on a paid tier that includes the ChatGPT Work suite.

At the moment the feature is limited to paid subscribers, so if you’re still on the free plan you’ll have to upgrade to enjoy your very own AI‑powered voice clone. OpenAI says this is just the first step – future updates may let you fine‑tune the tone even more, or switch between multiple saved styles (say, a formal version for client emails and a breezier one for internal chats).

So, will you let a bot write like you? For many busy professionals the answer might be a relieved “yes”. After all, getting a first draft that already feels personal can shave minutes off the endless cycle of rewriting. As always, keep an eye on privacy settings and make sure you’re comfortable with what’s being scanned. In the end, it’s another reminder that AI is getting better at not just understanding language, but mirroring the subtle human touches that make each of us unique.
