Write a sensitive professional email

Deliver a difficult message clearly without damaging the relationship or burying the point.

Help me draft a sensitive email. Recipient: [recipient and relationship, e.g., key client, supervisor, partner]. Core message: [the difficult news, e.g., declining a request, announcing a delay, flagging a disagreement, requesting payment]. Context: [relevant history]. Priorities: [what to protect, e.g., the relationship, the contract, my credibility]. Desired outcome: [what the recipient should do or understand].

Draft the email: use a neutral but specific subject line, state the main point within the first 3 lines (do not bury it under pleasantries), lead with facts rather than interpretations, and end with a concrete next step or deadline.

Provide two variations: one more direct and one softer, explaining when to use each. Maximum length: 12 lines. No fluff or pre-emptive apologies.

Summarize a long document for decision-making

A decision-oriented summary: essentials, data, gray areas, and recommendations.

Summarize the following document for [recipient, e.g., an executive with 5 minutes] who needs to decide on [decision to be made].

Document: [paste text]

Format: The bottom line in 5 lines max (key takeaway if they read nothing else), key figures in a table (data point, value, source in text), decision points with available options, gray areas or internal contradictions (cite specific passages), and what the document fails to address that is needed for the decision.

Rules: Do not introduce outside information, clearly distinguish between what the document states vs. suggests, and if a section contradicts the final conclusion, highlight that first.

Rewrite text in Plain English

Cut the length in half and double the clarity without losing the core meaning.

Rewrite the following text in Plain English. Context: [type of text, e.g., website page, internal memo, client letter] for [reader]. Objective: [what the reader should understand or do].

Text to rewrite: [paste text]

Rules: One idea per sentence, average sentence length of 20 words or fewer, active voice, replace jargon with everyday words ([list jargon to keep if necessary, e.g., industry terms the reader knows]), remove filler phrases (e.g., 'in order to', 'it is important to note that', 'with reference to'), and retain all facts and figures.

Output: The rewritten text, a list of major simplifications that impact tone or nuance (for verification), and the word count before/after.

Prepare a speech or presentation script

A structured talk designed for oral delivery, featuring a hook and memorable takeaways.

Prepare a script for my upcoming talk. Occasion: [e.g., team kickoff, product launch, industry panel]. Duration: [length]. Audience: [who they are and their likely mindset]. Key messages: [2 or 3 max]. My natural style: [e.g., understated, enthusiastic, humorous].

Write for the ear: short sentences that can be spoken in one breath, simple words, intentional repetition of key points, and explicit transitions. Structure: A hook that isn't a generic 'thank you' or a cliché quote (start with a fact, an anecdote about [experience], or a question), a body organized by message with one concrete example each, and a conclusion that restates THE main message and ends on a memorable closing line.

Include pacing cues (pauses, slow down) and a version condensed by 50% in case the schedule runs over.

Adapt text for a different audience

Repurpose the same core content for leadership, frontline staff, or non-technical clients.

Adapt the following text, originally written for [original audience], to work for [new audience, e.g., the board, frontline staff, non-technical clients, general public].

Original text: [paste text]

Required changes: Adjust the level of detail (this audience needs [e.g., decision/impact vs. precise SOP vs. high-level overview]), vocabulary (translate technical or internal jargon, listing these separately), examples (replace with scenarios this audience encounters), and the lead (start with what matters to THIS audience: [primary concern]).

What must remain: Facts, figures, and commitments. Deliver the adapted text, then provide a 3-line summary of what was sacrificed (lost nuances or omitted details) so I can judge if it is acceptable.

Follow up on an unanswered email

Three progressive, short follow-ups to get a response without sounding aggressive.

I sent an email to [recipient and relationship, e.g., a prospect, a colleague in another department, a vendor] regarding [original subject] on [date], with no response. Stakes: [what is blocked until I hear back]. History: [previous interactions].

Draft 3 follow-ups to be sent over time: 1. A light nudge (restate context in one sentence, easy closed question). 2. A value-add (provide a useful update, reframe the request, or offer an alternative). 3. A final check-in (set a deadline and state what I will do if I don't hear back, without being passive-aggressive).

Constraints: 6 lines max per email, no blame (use 'following up on this' rather than 'you haven't replied'), one question per message, keep the same email thread. Suggest the recommended delay between each follow-up.

Constraints: 8 lines max, do not mention 'sending this within 24 hours', avoid clichés like 'incredible opportunity', and do not recap your entire resume or pitch. Provide a professional version and a slightly warmer version.

Constraints: 10 lines max, no new info not in the body, no 'in conclusion' or 'to wrap up', no poetic fluff. Provide 2 versions: one professional for internal use, one engaging for sales.

If two parts have NO logical link, tell me: that's an outline problem, not a transition problem, and suggest a move to fix it.

Constraints: Ban filler connectors ('furthermore', 'it should be noted', 'regarding'), no transitions that recap everything prior, vary the mechanisms. Deliver in a table: Junction, Logical Relationship, Proposed Transition.

A plain-language explanation of a complex subject, with a list of simplifications made.

Explain [technical topic, e.g., a mechanism, tech, regulation, internal process] to [non-specialist audience, e.g., clients, board, new hires]. Material: [paste documentation or technical notes]. Why they need this: [the decision or action depending on their understanding]. Target length: [length].

Draft the explanation: Start with what they know (a lived situation or familiar object), use a consistent analogy if it helps (drop it as soon as it distorts, and say so), explain the mechanism step-by-step in everyday words, and state what it concretely changes for the reader.

Constraints: No technical terms without a one-sentence definition, 20-word max sentences, no condescending tone ('to put it simply'). End with an honest list of simplifications: what the plain version glosses over compared to technical reality, so I can ensure it isn't misleading.

Write a profile or Q&A interview

A staff profile or formatted interview based on notes or a transcript.

Write [format: a narrative profile or a Q&A interview] of [person: role, tenure] for [channel: internal newsletter, careers site, team page, LinkedIn]. Material: [paste transcript, notes, or written answers]. Goal: [e.g., humanize a role, attract candidates, showcase expertise]. Channel tone: [e.g., professional, warm, corporate].

For a profile: A hook based on a real detail from the transcript, a brief career path, daily life in the role with concrete scenarios, well-chosen direct quotes per section, and a forward-looking closing. For an interview: 5-7 rephrased questions for liveliness, with tightened answers WITHOUT changing meaning or the person's natural voice.

Constraints: 400 words max, do not attribute anything not in the material, flag cut passages that might need their review. Remind me at the end that the person must approve the text before publication.

Write a farewell note for a colleague

A short, sincere text for a colleague's departure, for a speech or a group card.

Write a note for [colleague's name, role, tenure] who is leaving. Reason: [e.g., retirement, new job, internal move, end of contract]. My relationship: [manager, close colleague, distant colleague]. Real memories/facts: [anecdotes, shared projects, appreciated traits]. Format: [farewell speech, group card, team message]. Tone: [e.g., professional, light humor, heartfelt].

Draft the text: Open with a specific memory rather than generalities, state what they actually contributed (2 concrete examples from my material), mention a personality trait illustrated by a kind (never embarrassing) anecdote, and offer well-wishes for their next step.

Constraints: For a speech, 2 mins max spoken (~250 words), natural phrasing; for a card, 80 words max. No invented anecdotes, no jokes about appearance, age, or the reasons for leaving, no fake sentimentality.

Write non-generic professional holiday wishes

New Year/holiday wishes tailored by recipient, rooted in the actual year's relationship.

Write our professional [Year] wishes for [Company]. Recipients: [segments: clients, partners, team, vendors]. What actually happened this year with each: [highlights: projects, challenges, news]. Next year's outlook: [shareable perspectives]. Channel: [email, printed card, LinkedIn, team speech]. Sign-off: [who signs].

Deliver one version per segment. Each version: An opening that avoids 'on behalf of the whole team', a sincere recap of a moment shared WITH that recipient (from my material), the wishes linked to their specific goals, a sentence on what we will build together next year, and the sign-off.

Constraints: 100 words max per version, no interchangeable templates, no list of internal wins (the wishes are about the recipient, not us), no quantified promises. Also provide a 25-word version for a card or post.

Proofread for grammar, spelling, and style

A complete review with explained corrections and a clean final text, without changing the meaning.

Proofread the following text for [usage: client email, web post, official doc]. Text: [paste text]. Level of intervention: [corrections only, or corrections plus style suggestions]. Specific watch-outs: [e.g., proper names to leave alone, house terminology].

Work in three passes and deliver them separately. 1. Objective corrections: spelling, grammar, punctuation, and typography (US or UK standards as appropriate), in a table: error, correction, one-line rule. 2. Proposed style improvements: repetitions, clunky phrasing, ambiguity, each with a justification for me to accept/reject. 3. Final clean text with all objective corrections applied.

Constraints: NEVER change meaning, data, names, or quotes; ask if intent is unclear; flag grammatically correct but ambiguous sentences.

Harmonize a multi-author document

Unify a document: same conventions, tone, and terminology from start to finish.

This document was written by multiple people and it shows. Document: [paste text]. Type/Usage: [report, sales proposal, documentation, file]. Target style: [reference section or describe: e.g., professional, direct, technical].

Work in two steps. 1. Inconsistency diagnostic table: Terminology (same thing named differently), conventions (acronyms, numbers vs. words, dates, units, capitalization), tone (narrative vs. bulleted), person/tense (we/active/passive, present/past), and formatting (lists/titles). 2. The rewritten, harmonized document based on the target style, keeping all content, data, and structure intact.

Constraints: List the harmonization choices you made (which term won, which convention) for my approval; flag actual content contradictions between sections (different data for the same thing) without fixing them: authors must decide.

Purge AI writing quirks from a text

Remove recognizable AI-generated phrases and restore a natural professional voice.

This text was produced or co-written with AI and it feels like it. Rewrite it to sound like a natural professional voice. Text: [paste text]. Usage: [where it will be published]. My voice: [2 or 3 sentences written by me for tone calibration, if available].

Track and eliminate: Pompous openings ('In today's fast-paced world', 'At the digital age'), mechanical structures (systematic triads, 'Not only X, but Y', cascading rhetorical questions), pet words ('crucial', 'essential', 'revolutionize', 'optimal', 'delve into', 'landscape'), hollow conclusions ('In conclusion, it is clear that'), bullet points that add nothing over a sentence, uniform enthusiasm, and general claims without concrete examples.

Output: The rewritten text, plus a table of found quirks (original passage, problem, rewrite). Constraints: Keep all info and the expected language level, shortening is encouraged, do not replace one quirk with another.

Shorten text to a specific length

Cut text to a required format with a list of what was removed and why.

Shorten this text to [length: words, characters, or lines]. Current text: [paste text with length if known]. Why this limit: [e.g., form field, RFP limit, executive summary, print space, platform character limit]. Unchangeable items: [e.g., data, mandatory legal mentions, names].

Method: First, delete without loss (redundancies, filler, adverbs, details the reader won't use). Second, condense (merge sentences, use direct phrasing). Third, only as a last resort, sacrifice content, starting with the least useful to the target reader.

Output: The text at the exact length (with count), plus a log of cuts in three categories (deleted without loss, condensed, sacrificed) with a one-line explanation for each sacrifice. If the limit makes the text misleading or inaccurate, tell me instead of delivering a false text.

Check internal document consistency

A systematic check for contradictory data, dates, names, and claims within a single text.

Check the INTERNAL consistency of this document before release (do not verify against outside sources: only what the text says vs. itself). Document: [paste text]. Type: [report, proposal, audit]. Sensitive areas: [what must be reliable: amounts, dates, names].

Systematically check: Data (totals that don't add up, incompatible percentages, same amount written differently), Dates (impossible chronology, inconsistent lead times, deadlines already passed by the [planned send date]), Names/Titles (same entity with multiple names, undefined acronyms), Claims (one section promising what another excludes, conclusion not supported by body), and Cross-references (cited appendices or sections that don't exist).

Output: A report table: Location (short quote), Issue found, Severity (blocker/to fix/minor), Proposed fix when obvious. Do not fix the text yourself: some gaps may be intentional, I will decide.

Repurpose text into short formats

Turn one piece of content into email subjects, SMS, notifications, and short descriptions.

Repurpose the following content into short formats. Source content: [paste text or core message]. Recipient: [who]. Desired action: [what they should do]. Formats needed: [e.g., Email subject (50 chars), Pro SMS (160 chars), App notification (80 chars), Short description (200 chars), One-line dashboard summary].

For each format, provide 3 variants with character counts, matching the format's intent: The email subject drives opens without lying, the SMS is immediately actionable (who, what, link/contact), the notification gets straight to the point, the short description uses keywords the reader would search for.

Constraints: Never exceed the format limit, no 'text speak' abbreviations in a professional setting, no all-caps, lead with the essential info (short formats are truncated at the end). Flag what each format sacrifices from the source message.

Neutralize an ad or text for inclusivity

Rephrase text into neutral, readable language compliant with standard job ad practices.

Rephrase the following text to be inclusive and neutral without being clunky. Text: [paste text, e.g., job ad, internal comms, careers page]. Context: [usage]. House style: [e.g., preference for gender-neutral terms, specific local standards].

Apply techniques in this order: Epicene words and encompassing terms ('the team', 'the candidate', 'the person managing' rather than 'he/she'), rephrasing by verb or function ('you will lead' rather than 'the leader'), and only using doublets if natural. For job ads: ensure the title and body follow standard non-discrimination practices (e.g., using 'M/F/D' or similar local conventions).

Output: The rephrased text, plus a table of changes (original, rephrased, technique used). Constraints: Readability is priority (a clunky sentence is a bad solution), meaning strictly preserved, no political overreach or dumbing down of the text.

Create a glossary for a document or field

An alphabetical glossary with one-sentence definitions, usage examples, and cross-references.

Build a glossary for [scope: a specific document, project, or company department]. Material: [paste text or list identified terms]. Readers: [who will use it, e.g., new hires, clients, partners]. House terms: [internal jargon, acronyms, product names to include].

For each term: The term (with variants/acronyms in parentheses), a one-sentence definition understandable by the target reader (not a dictionary definition), a real-world usage example from the provided material where possible, and cross-references ('see also') to related terms. Mark which terms are industry standard vs. purely internal.

Constraints: Alphabetical order, one sentence per definition (two max), no defining a term using another undefined term, no circularity. Extract terms from the material that I didn't list but a layperson would struggle with, and flag terms used with two different meanings in the document.
