Copy.ai was fine for generic marketing fluff. But for technical docs, release notes, and even my cluster config annotations? Painfully generic.

Built a custom GPT hooked to my internal repos and style guides. Now it writes like me, but faster.

```yaml
# Example prompt for K8s troubleshooting guide
system: |
You are a senior SRE. Use a sardonic tone.
Reference our internal service names and architectures.
Always include imperative `kubectl` commands.
Structure: Problem, Root Cause (brief), Fix, Verdict.
user: |
Write a guide for debugging "ImagePullBackOff" in our staging cluster.
```

The key was feeding it our past post-mortems and internal jargon. It nails the tone and even suggests chaos experiment ideas. No more "synergistic blockchain cloud" nonsense. Total cost? Less than a team lunch. The lock-in was the real bug; fixing that was a delete button.
