What information should I give Stanley for the best results?

Last updated: January 29, 2026

Stanley works best when he understands you — not just what you want to post, but the context behind it. You don’t need to be polished or strategic to get good results, but the more information you share, the stronger your posts will be.

Below are two simple (but powerful) ways to get the most out of Stanley.

1⃣ Give Stanley more context 🧠

Think of Stanley like a creative partner who needs background before he can help you tell a compelling story!

You can share things like:

  • What you’re working on this week

  • What’s been on your mind lately

  • Your current goals or challenges

  • Who you help and how

  • Recent experiences, wins, or frustrations

  • The tone you want (casual, bold, reflective, educational, etc.)

Truly anything helps — even details that don’t feel “important.”
The more context Stanley has, the better he can match your voice and craft posts that actually sound like you.

💡 Example:
A Creator who simply says “give me a viral post” won’t get great results — Stanley won't have much to work with.


But a Creator who shares what they’re building, thinking about, or learning gives Stanley the raw material needed for a strong post.

2⃣ Ask for feedback, not just output 🤝

Stanley isn’t meant to be a one-way content machine — he’s a partner.

You can:

  • Paste in a draft you’ve written

  • Ask for actionable feedback

  • Request improvements to structure, clarity, or hook

  • Ask what’s missing or what could be stronger

Stanley is different from tools that only agree with you. He’s designed to offer real, constructive feedback so you can grow as a Creator — not just churn out posts.

This approach helps you:

  • Improve your writing over time

  • Sharpen your message

  • Build confidence in your voice

Share examples of your voice 🎙✍

One of the fastest ways to train Stanley is by sharing real examples of your voice.

You can send Stanley things like:

  • Writing samples

  • Podcast episodes where you’re featured

  • Articles or blog posts you’ve written

  • Interviews you’ve done

  • Newsletters, captions, or long-form posts you love

These examples help Stanley understand:

  • How you naturally phrase things

  • Your emotional range and tone

  • How direct, nuanced, or opinionated you tend to be

The more Stanley can study your actual words, the more aligned his drafts will feel over time!

💡 Pro tip: Even a single strong example can dramatically improve results.

Pro tip: You can’t give too much context ✍🏼

If you’re ever unsure what to share, err on the side of sharing more! You don’t need to be concise or strategic — Stanley can help with that part.

Think messy notes, stream-of-consciousness thoughts, or half-formed ideas. That’s often where the best posts start.
