Introduction: The "You Can't Say Anything If You Live Absent-mindedly" Problem
This isn't exactly Chiko-chan's famous line, but there's an unchanging truth even in today's AI-advanced world:
"If you don't send input, AI can't respond"
No matter how excellent Generative AI becomes, it can only produce valuable output when human thoughts and experiences are fed into it first. In other words, having content worth sharing is the most important thing.
This time, I practiced an AI-era article writing workflow that solves the challenge of "I have content I want to share, but summarizing it into an article is difficult."
Practical Example
Here's the article I actually practiced with and posted (with soul and dedication):

Experiment Background: Wanting to Write About Qiita Tech Festa 2025 Experience
I wanted to write an article about my experience at Qiita Tech Festa 2025, but starting to write directly is challenging. While I had many memories and impressions in my head, organizing and articulating them requires different skills.
That's when I came up with this 3-step workflow:
- π€ Organize thoughts through interview-style conversation with ChatGPT voice mode
- π€ Structure and compose articles with Claude
- βοΈ Final editing by humans

participant H as π§ Human<br/>(Source of Thoughts)
participant GPT as π€ ChatGPT<br/>(Voice Dialogue AI)
participant C as π€ Claude<br/>(Structuring AI)
participant F as π Final Article<br/>(Completed Article)
Note over H: π Experiences, Impressions, Ideas<br/>In your head
H->>GPT: π£οΈ Speak freely<br/>"I'm thinking of writing a Qiita article..."
GPT->>H: π― Acknowledgments, questions, guidance<br/>"So what was the next topic?"
H->>GPT: π£οΈ Elaborate further<br/>Including emotions and tangents

<br/>π₯ Birth of a Soul-Forged Article!
The "ChatGPT voice mode" referred to in this article is detailed in the following article:
I learned about this convenient feature from someone who publishes dialogue-style videos on a certain YouTube channel, and I thought "What a handy feature this is!"
Step 1: Thought Organization with ChatGPT Voice Mode
Why Voice?
Writing is challenging, but speaking feels more accessible to many people. Especially:
- Express the flow of thoughts directly
- Record digressions and emotions included
- Include human-like pauses such as "um" and "well"
Actual Interaction
I spoke to ChatGPT's voice extension mode as if being interviewed:
Osamu: I'm thinking of writing a Qiita article...
GPT: Of course I understand! Qiita is where engineers...
Osamu: I already know what I want to write about, so the content I'll discuss here...
The good points of this format:
- GPT provides acknowledgments, making it easy to speak
- Guides with questions like "So what was the next topic?"
- Memory gets organized through natural conversation
The Power of Voice Input
What was particularly impressive was when talking about Yukihiro Matsumoto-SAN's keynote. When trying to write, you often think "Where should I start?" But with voice:
"The keynote theme was about creating the 2nd and 3rd Yukihiro Matsumoto-SAN. What was impressive were the three elements: 'luck, connections, and aspirations'..."
It comes out naturally structured like this.
Step 2: Article Structuring and Composition with Claude
Why Claude?
Reasons for using ChatGPT and Claude differently:
- ChatGPT: Good at natural voice dialogue, excellent at acknowledgments
- Claude: Good at long-text structuring and proofreading, deep contextual understanding
Actual Instructions
I instructed Claude as follows:
I'll share a conversation between ChatGPT(GPT) and me (Osamu).
Please create a .md based on this.
I prefer articles that turn out somewhat digressive. I'll add a "Poem" tag.
Claude's Excellence
Characteristics of Claude's created article:
- Maintains natural conversation flow
- Appropriately weaves in digressive parts
- Sets heading structure appropriately
- Preserves raw emotions like "honestly, it might be cheating"
On the other hand, when I had ChatGPT do the same task:
π₯ **"Passion Transcends Technology ββ 'Soul Technology' Found at Qiita Tech Festa 2025"**
*Youth passes quickly, learning is difficult. Yet, those who challenge open the future.*
It was somewhat too dramaticπ
Step 3: Final Human Editing
Parts AI Cannot Cover
What humans ultimately need to do:
- Verify proper nouns (House International vs HAO International, etc.)
- Organize chronology
- Adjust subtle nuances
- Adjust privacy-related parts
Editing Points
There were input errors, so continuing to fiddle around in chat is exhausting
Indeed, direct editing in an editor is more efficient for detailed corrections.
Effects of This Workflow
Benefits
- Easy thought organization: Just speaking organizes your mind
- Automatic article skeleton generation: Get a structured article as a base
- Natural writing style: Conversational base creates approachable text
- Time-saving effect: Overwhelmingly faster than writing from scratch
Disadvantages and Precautions
- Voice input accuracy: Technical terminology needs verification
- Privacy: Be careful that voice data remains
- Final editing is essential: AI alone cannot achieve perfection
Most Important Insight: The Need for "Communication Power"
What I deeply realized through this workflow:
AI is just a tool. Ultimately, whether you have content worth sharing makes the difference
- Experience participating in Qiita Tech Festa
- Emotion from hearing Yukihiro Matsumoto-SAN's lecture
- Experience working on AtCoder
- Participation in community activities
Because I had this "content I wanted to share," efficient AI-powered article writing became possible.
The content I wanted to share was overflowing. It was leaking out. In reality, I only transcribed part of it.
Summary: AI-Era Article Writing Techniques
- π€ First, experience, think, and feel
- π£οΈ Organize thoughts through voice
- π€ Let AI handle structuring
- βοΈ Humans make final adjustments
This workflow is particularly effective for:
- Experience reports and reflection articles
- Technical event reports
- Personal technical endeavors
- Essay-style articles
Conclusion: What Will You Share Next?
Precisely because we're in the AI era, human experiences and thoughts hold even greater value.
What have you recently experienced, learned, or felt?
Why not start by talking about it with voice?
Surely, unexpected discoveries and insights will take shape as articles.
Technology advances, but human experience cannot be replaced. Therefore, let's continue sharing.
Believe that your articles are gems, and release them into the internet ocean through DEV to educate AIs.
