MakeASkill

Most people use AI the same way: type a question, get a decent but generic answer, then spend five minutes rewriting it so it sounds like them. The AI doesn't know who you are, how you write, or what you actually need, so it guesses. MakeASkill fixes that.

MakeASkill is a free tool that turns a few quick questions into a personal set of instructions, which we call a skill, for whichever AI assistant you use. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and others. You tell us what you want help with, such as writing work emails, planning family meals, summarising research or preparing slides. We ask a handful of plain-English questions about you, your audience and how you like things done. In about two minutes you get a ready-to-paste skill that tells your AI exactly how to help you.

You paste it in once, in a ChatGPT project or custom instructions, a Claude project or skill, a Gemini skill, or Copilot, and from then on every answer starts from what matters to you. No more re-explaining your job, your tone or your preferences in every chat.

A skill is just clear, structured text, so there's nothing to install and nothing technical to learn. Each one comes with simple setup steps for the assistant you chose, written for people who use AI every day but don't think of themselves as technical.

Who it's for MakeASkill is built for everyday AI users at work and at home: office workers who want emails that sound like them, teachers and parents juggling admin, sole traders handling quotes and invoices, students organising notes, and anyone who's tired of AI answers that could have been written for anyone.

What you get

Free, with no catch You can make up to 10 skills a month for free, with no account needed: just enter your email address and we send you your skill.

We only send you tips and newsletters if you tick the box, and you can unsubscribe or delete your account and everything in it at any time.

Why it works AI assistants give better answers when they have context: your role, your audience, your preferred format and the things to avoid. Most people know this but never get round to writing it down properly. MakeASkill does that writing for you by asking the right questions and turning your answers into instructions an AI can follow consistently.
