Use AI to review your work for questions people will ask, so you're ready with answers.
You finish a proposal, report, or recommendation and hit send — then someone replies with a question you didn't think about. It happens all the time. The best way to avoid looking unprepared is to have AI simulate being the person who receives your work, and ask all the questions a real reader would ask before you share it. This workflow turns AI into your first reader. You give it your draft and ask it to play the role of your actual audience — a manager, a client, a committee, whoever will see it next. AI reads it from their point of view and generates every clarifying question, concern, or request for more detail they might have. You get a preview of what people will ask, so you can either add the answers directly into your document or prepare responses in advance. By the time you share your work, you've already closed the gaps. You look thorough, thoughtful, and prepared — because you anticipated the questions before anyone had to ask them.
