Episode notes
Match Models To Writing Tasks
- Use Opus (Claude) for first-draft prose when you want rich, dramatic description and high-quality text.
- Use Gemini 3 for natural-sounding dialogue and more restrained tone where needed.
Directors For Different Scenes
- Authors can combine models like filmmakers use directors to get different 'feels' for scenes or genres.
- Thomas argues best model varies by style and scene type, e.g., dialogue vs fight choreography.
Prime Models With Your Writing Sample
- Include 5–6k word samples of your own writing plus an AI-generated style sheet in prompts to preserve authorial voice.
- Jason says this is more effective than lower-fidelity RAG chunks despite higher token cost.
