The cheapest way to give an AI tool your brand voice is the one you already pay for: a Claude Project, a set of ChatGPT custom instructions or a Copilot agent, holding a voice description and a few pasted facts. It costs nothing extra, it takes an afternoon, and for one person writing one kind of thing it’s often enough. BeigeCheck is for the point where that stops being true: several people, facts that change, more than one AI tool, and nobody checking the draft against any of it.
Side by side
Works inside your own AI tools
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Yes, in the one you built it in. A Claude Project doesn’t exist in ChatGPT, and a Copilot agent doesn’t exist in Claude.
- BeigeCheck
- One set of knowledge in Claude and ChatGPT on every plan, and in Microsoft 365 Copilot from Business up.
What it holds
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Instructions and files. A Claude Project takes files of up to 30MB, as many as fit its context window. A custom GPT takes 20 files. A Copilot agent takes 8,000 characters of instructions and 20 embedded files.
- BeigeCheck
- Approved facts, each with its source and version, in six areas; a company voice per kind of writing; a glossary and house rules; each person’s own voice.
Shared across the company
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- On team plans. A Claude Project can be public to everyone in the organisation on Team and Enterprise. ChatGPT shares GPTs and projects within a Business or Enterprise workspace. A Copilot agent is private until its owner turns on org-wide sharing. On personal plans, each person keeps their own.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes. One company, one set of approved knowledge, every person and every connected tool.
Who can change it
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Anyone with edit access, straight away. Claude and ChatGPT document “can edit” roles and no approval step. Copilot’s organisation catalogue adds admin approval for the published version.
- BeigeCheck
- Nothing changes without a proposal and an approver. Every approved change is a version with a name and a date, and you can go back.
Checks the draft
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- No. You ask the model to follow the instructions and trust that it has. OpenAI says as much: ChatGPT won’t always interpret custom instructions the way you meant.
- BeigeCheck
- Yes. The Beige-ometer scores every draft for how authentic it reads and how well it fits the voice, quotes the sentences to change with a fix for each, and checks every claim against your approved facts.
Facts with sources
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Pasted text and uploaded files. Nothing records where a fact came from or when it changed.
- BeigeCheck
- Each fact carries its source and version. A claim the facts don’t support is flagged before it goes out.
Personal voice
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Only if each person builds their own, and then it’s theirs alone and the company can’t see it.
- BeigeCheck
- A company voice and each person’s own voice, built only from writing they’ve done themselves.
Learning
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- By hand. Someone has to remember to edit the instructions.
- BeigeCheck
- Proposes changes from your documents and from the edits people keep making; an approver decides.
What it costs
- Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions and Copilot agents
- Nothing beyond the subscription: Claude Pro is $17 a month billed yearly, ChatGPT Plus $20, Microsoft 365 Copilot $30 a user a month billed yearly. Team plans are $20 to $25 a seat.
- BeigeCheck
- On top of those subscriptions: Starter $249 a month billed yearly ($293 monthly) for the whole company; Business $535; Business Integrated $1,062; Enterprise from $2,500. Also in pounds and euros.
Where they overlap
Both routes start from the same idea: the AI tool writes better when it knows who it’s writing for. A Claude Project with a good voice description and your best few pieces of writing in it will produce drafts that sound more like you than a blank chat does.
BeigeCheck doesn’t replace that. It’s a connector into the same Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot you’d set the project up in.
The vendors have made the do-it-yourself route better, too. Claude’s Team and Enterprise plans share a project with everyone in the organisation, with view and edit roles. ChatGPT’s Business plan shares projects and GPTs across a workspace. Microsoft lets an admin publish a Copilot agent to the whole company and approve each new version. For a team that writes one kind of thing in one tool, that’s a real option.
Where they differ
The first difference is what happens after the model writes. A project is an instruction. Nothing in Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot reads the draft back against the instruction and tells you where it went off, so the voice description that worked in March has stopped matching the drafts by June and nobody’s noticed. BeigeCheck checks every draft and shows you the sentences, with a score that moves when you fix them.
The second is facts. Pasted facts go stale. When your pricing changes, the number in the project instructions doesn’t, and ten people each keep their own wrong copy.
BeigeCheck holds one set of facts, each with its source and version. It gives the AI tool the ones this draft needs, then checks the draft’s claims against them.
The third is that a project doesn’t travel. The Claude Project doesn’t exist in ChatGPT, so when a colleague switches tools they rebuild the setup from memory. BeigeCheck’s knowledge is the same in all three.
And the fourth is who’s in charge of a change. In a shared project, anyone with edit access can change the instructions, and the change is live for everyone at once. In BeigeCheck, a change is a proposal until an approver says yes, and every yes is a version you can trace and undo.
Who each suits
If you’re one person, writing in one tool, about a business whose facts don’t change much, build the project. Put your voice description and your best writing in it, and keep it up to date yourself. You don’t need BeigeCheck yet, and we’d rather you found that out from us.
If several people write in the company’s name, if they use more than one AI tool between them, if your figures and client list change, or if you’ve been caught out by a draft that sounded fine and said something you can’t back, that’s what BeigeCheck is for.
