Create perfectly compliant marketing content with AI in minutes.
And say goodbye to those endless review cycles.
Hi there, Marketer 👋
Every time you sit down to write new content, you're juggling approved claims, brand guidelines, and regulatory requirements. And let's be honest – the back-and-forth with regulatory teams isn't exactly the highlight of your day.
But what if you could streamline this entire process?
Today, I'm sharing a systematic approach to create compliant, on-brand content using Claude AI as your personal content hub. You'll learn how to set up your own compliance-ready content system and get a universal AI prompt template that works for any content type.
Let's turn that compliance headache into a well-oiled machine.
Your personal content hub
The secret to consistent, compliant content lies in creating a centralized knowledge base that AI can reference.
For this system, we'll use Claude AI by Anthropic and specifically its “Projects” feature, which lets you create dedicated spaces with their own knowledge bases - perfect for maintaining separate content hubs for different products or divisions.
To access “Projects”, you'll need Claude Pro, which costs $20/month. While you can use the free version for basic tasks, I highly recommend upgrading to Pro for serious content creation.
From my personal experience testing various AI tools, Claude's writing capabilities and Projects feature make it worth every penny when you're creating content at scale.
Now, let's set up your system.
Step 1 - Create your project in Claude AI
Go to https://claude.ai and create your account.
Click on "Projects" in the left sidebar
Click "Create Project"
Name it something specific (e.g., "MedDevice X Content Hub")
Add a brief description (e.g., "Knowledge base for MedDevice X content creation, including compliance docs and brand guidelines"). Note that Claude will not have access to these details.
💡 Pro Tip: Create separate projects for different product lines to keep everything organised.
Step 2 - Build your knowledge base
Now, upload these essential documents to your project:
Product approved claims
Brand guidelines
IFU’s
Regulatory documentation (For the MDR, here is the link to download the PDF that you can upload to the knowledge base. https://www.medical-device-regulation.eu/download-mdr/
Product information (brochures, presentations, etc)
Target audience profiles
Step 3 - Set project instructions
Now that your knowledge base is ready, let's tell Claude how to use it: Click on "Set project instructions" and write the following:
"You are my content creation assistant. For all content requests, always reference the uploaded product and compliant documents in the project knowledge section, follow my brand guidelines, use approved product claims only, match our tone and voice guidelines, and flag any potential compliance issues. Do not invent claims or statements that are not in the approved claims document.”
Claude will use these instructions for all chats within your project.
Note: Context is not shared across chats within a project unless the information is added into the project knowledge base.
Step 4 - Use this content creation prompt
Now that your project is set up, here's your go-to prompt template for creating any type of content.
