💡 Tip: tap a step’s number when you finish it — a green tick appears and your browser remembers how far you got.
- A free Qwen Chat account. Sign up at chat.qwen.ai with an email address — no credit card is needed for the basic free plan.
- A modern web browser on a computer, tablet, or phone. The free plan is usually enough for a short speech; paid tiers may give longer replies and fewer waiting periods.
- A few minutes to think about who you're thanking and why this moment matters to you.
- Total time: roughly 20–30 minutes, including a couple of rounds of edits.
One honest note before we start: Qwen Chat is brilliant at drafting words on a page, but it cannot stand on stage and deliver the speech for you, and it does not know your life. The real magic happens when you feed it your own memories — then it shapes them into sentences you actually want to say.
Ask for an outline before asking for a full draft
Before Qwen writes the whole speech, ask it to draft a short outline first — usually four to six bullet points. This is a small but powerful habit: it lets you reshape the structure before any words are locked in. Type your request and send. What happens next: Qwen produces a list of suggested sections, often something like an opening thanks, a personal story, gratitude to specific people, and a closing thought.
**** if Qwen jumps straight to a full speech instead, simply reply with "Can you give me a short bullet-point outline first?" and it will adjust.
**** you have a list of sections that roughly matches the journey you want to take your listeners on.
Feed in your real stories and specific names
This is where the speech starts becoming yours. Tell Qwen one or two genuine memories — the names of people who helped you, a moment that surprised you, something funny or moving that happened. The more concrete you are, the warmer the draft will feel. Type these into the chat and ask Qwen to rewrite the relevant section using them. What happens next: Qwen produces a revised version that weaves your details into the structure from Step 3.
**** if the new version still sounds too formal, ask it to "make it sound more like I'm talking to a friend over a cup of tea".
**** the draft contains a real name or moment that only you could have supplied.
Refine the length and tone until it sounds like you
Read the draft out loud — yes, really, because your ear catches what your eyes miss. Ask Qwen to shorten or lengthen it, soften the tone, or replace any sentence that doesn't feel right. Think of this step as a back-and-forth conversation with a writing assistant. What happens next: Qwen produces a cleaner version with each round of edits.
**** if a response feels repetitive, simply say "Try again, but make every sentence different" and it'll rewrite fresh.
**** you can read the whole speech out loud without cringing, and it ends naturally inside your time limit.
- Skipping your own stories. The draft will sound generic if Qwen only has the basic facts. Fix: spend five minutes listing two or three real moments before you start — names, places, small incidents that come to mind.
- Accepting the first draft. The first response is rarely the best one. Fix: treat the output like clay — keep reshaping and re-prompting until it sounds like you, not like an AI.
- Forgetting to read it aloud. A speech that reads well on paper can feel awkward when spoken. Fix: read it out loud once. If you stumble over a sentence, that sentence needs reworking.
Open chat.qwen.ai, start a new chat, and paste this in: I just received a community award I'd like to thank people for at a small ceremony. Help me write a short, warm thank-you speech of about 250 words. Ask me three questions first so the speech actually sounds like me. Whatever Qwen replies with is your starting point — and from there you're only a few edits away from something you can be proud to say out loud.
