1. Panic + Pressure = Terrible First Drafts
I started with this:
“Write a short, funny best man speech for my brother Jake. Add a sweet ending.”
It came back with:
A strong opening line
A few one-liners about growing up together
A touching close that didn’t sound like a Hallmark card
I tweaked a few details, added my voice, and suddenly it was… actually good.
Honest. Light. Me.
2. Toast-Worthy Memories, Upgraded
I had a scattered list of memories:
The camping trip with the raccoon incident
That time he broke his arm doing a backflip
How he met his now-wife (spoiler: awkward)
I used this:
“Turn this list of memories into a toast.”
AI helped thread it together with just the right tone—funny, emotional, and easy to deliver.
Not too cheesy. Not too stiff. Just right.
