Meet Trudie

Trudie Coetzee — AI writing consultant and researcher based in South Africa

I became interested in AI writing because I kept noticing that people were writing more efficiently, but not sounding better. 

For the most part, people who write using AI are losing their sense of voice. As a result, writing is becoming more disconnected from the person behind the words. 

This led me to focus on helping people use AI more intentionally.

I combine the teachings of good writing practice with human judgement to help people use AI in a way that still sounds authentic.

I’m particularly interested in how people can use AI tools ethically without losing the human element that makes up good writing.
