The risk is that it writes smoothly, so invented facts, generic phrasing and a voice that is not yours slip through unnoticed. To keep your voice, your accuracy and your customers' trust, give AI a clear brief and your own facts, and make a person responsible for every word that gets published.
Where AI genuinely helps
- Getting past the blank page. A rough first draft of a product description, Facebook post or email that you then rework.
- Variations. Five different opening lines for an ad, so you can pick and test.
- Reshaping. Turning a long article into a short caption, or a list of features into a friendly paragraph.
- First-draft translation. A Bangla version of an English description, or the other way round, for a fluent person to correct.
- Outlines. A structure for a blog post, built from questions your customers actually ask.
Where it goes wrong
- Invented facts. AI may add a feature your product does not have, a material it is not made of or a delivery promise you never made. It does not know your business unless you tell it.
- Generic voice. Left alone, AI drifts towards the same polished, slightly salesy tone that everyone else's AI uses. Customers notice.
- Overclaiming. Superlatives, promises of results or health benefits can mislead customers and may break platform advertising rules or consumer protection law. Check the official rules, or ask a lawyer, when in doubt.
- Clumsy Bangla. A translation can be grammatically fine but sound bookish, too formal or simply odd. Brand names and product terms may get translated when they should not be.
- Sameness. Use the same prompt often enough and your posts start to sound alike.
Write a one-page style sheet
Before you let AI write anything for your brand, write a short style sheet and give it to the AI every time. Include:
- Who you are talking to. For example, mothers in district towns buying school uniforms, or factory buyers comparing suppliers.
- How you sound. Three or four words, such as "warm, direct, no exaggeration", plus two or three real posts you are proud of.
- Words you use and avoid. Apni or tumi, your product names exactly as written, phrases you never want to see.
- Facts the AI may use. Prices, sizes, materials, delivery areas, return policy. Only these.
- Claims you never make. No medical claims, no comparisons that name competitors, no promises you cannot keep.
The same sheet helps new staff. The article on brand voice on social media covers voice in more depth.
A simple workflow that keeps a person in charge
| Step | Who | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Person | Goal, audience, key facts, what you want the reader to do |
| Draft | AI | Writes from the brief and the style sheet |
| Fact check | Person | Every claim checked against your own records |
| Voice edit | Person | Rewritten wherever it does not sound like you |
| Approve | Owner or a named person | Final yes before publishing |
The fact check and the approval cannot be skipped, however good the draft looks. For product listings in two languages, the Bangla and English product content workflow shows this in practice.
Should you tell people AI was involved?
There is no single answer for every business, and platform rules and laws can change, so check the current guidance from the platforms you use. A practical principle: the more personal or expert a piece claims to be (a doctor's advice, a founder's story, a customer review), the less AI should be involved, and it should never be used to invent experiences that did not happen. Fake reviews and made-up customer stories destroy trust quickly and may be unlawful.
Checklist before you publish
- Every fact matches your own records
- No promises, superlatives or health claims you cannot support
- It sounds like your best staff member, not a brochure
- The Bangla reads naturally to a native speaker
- Product names and prices are exactly right
- A named person has approved it
