About CommsWith.AI

CommsWith.AI is the practical toolkit companion to Applied Comms AI. Where Applied Comms AI explores ideas and experiments, CommsWith.AI gives you the templates, prompts, and workflows to actually get things done.

What this site is

This is a curated library of communications templates and a directory of AI tools — each one designed to solve a real problem that comms professionals face. Every template includes:

  • The template itself — ready to copy and customise
  • AI prompts — to generate a first draft quickly
  • Human review checklists — to catch what AI misses
  • Context — when to use it and what you'll need

The tools directory features curated AI tools that work well with communications workflows. Where we've used tools directly ourselves, we indicate this.

The philosophy

AI is brilliant at producing first drafts. It's not so good at understanding organisational politics, regulatory constraints, or the specific context that makes your communications work. The templates here are designed for a human-in-the-loop workflow:

  1. Use AI to generate a draft quickly
  2. Apply your expertise to refine and contextualise
  3. Check against the review list before publishing

This isn't about replacing communications professionals — it's about freeing you from blank-page syndrome so you can focus on the strategic thinking that actually matters.

The ecosystem

CommsWith.AI is part of a three-part ecosystem. Where Applied Comms AI explores ideas, experiments, and provides training, CommsWith.AI gives you the templates, prompts, and workflows to actually get things done.

  • Applied Comms AI — Learn. Experiments, thinking, and training about AI in communications.
  • CommsWith.AI — Do. Templates, prompts, and workflows you can use today.
  • Faur — Implement. Consulting, hands-on advisory, and custom agent design for organisations.

How templates are selected and maintained

  • Every template is tested with real communications briefs before publication — not generated and published without review.
  • Templates are reviewed and updated when AI model capabilities change or when user feedback identifies gaps.
  • If you find an error or outdated content, email michael@faur.site — corrections are made within five working days.
