Talk through blog ideas on a walk with an AI voice agent that interviews you, then turns the conversation into drafts
Everett Sloan, founder and coach of CrossFit Bytown in Ottawa, Ontario, on the gym's own blog
He built a custom AI voice agent that acts like an interview partner on his morning walks: he talks, and it asks clarifying questions to push him to elaborate. Back home, it turns the conversation into a structured article. For pieces he writes himself, he writes out his ideas and has AI clean up the formatting so the ideas stay his.

The problem
He likes writing plain-language training articles for members, but quiet writing time is rare with kids at home, and typing or dictating while walking works badly.
What happened
Self-reported: he finishes a walk with two or three complete drafts without typing a word. No other figures are given, and the post doesn't name the AI tool.

How to set it up yourself
- What CrossFit Bytown does: a custom AI voice agent interviews the owner on his morning walk and turns the conversation into structured article drafts. The tool isn't named; the steps below are our DIY version with ChatGPT's voice mode on a phone.
- Before the walk, open the ChatGPT app, start a new chat, paste the prompt below with the topic filled in, then tap the voice button and put the phone in your pocket with earbuds in.
- Answer its questions out loud for 15-20 minutes; when you're done, say "that's it, write the draft" and end voice mode.
- At home, open the chat, ask for the draft in the format you use on your blog, then read it against what you actually meant, fix anything it added, and post it in your own name.
Copy-paste prompt
You are interviewing me, the coach and owner of {GYM NAME}, for a short blog post for our members on {TOPIC}. Ask me one question at a time, out loud, and keep each question under 20 words. After each answer, ask a follow-up that pushes me for a concrete example or a plain-language explanation. After about 8 questions, or when I say 'write the draft', write a 600-word post with a title, 3 short sections with subheadings and a one-line takeaway, using only what I said. Keep my wording where you can; don't add training or medical claims I didn't make.We set up one AI automation in your tools, live within 48 hours of getting access, for $197. No call needed.
