Use AI to quickly draft a professional reference letter template when a colleague asks for support.
When a coworker asks you to write a reference or recommendation letter, it's easy to stare at a blank page for way too long. You want to highlight their strengths and sound professional, but finding the right words can eat up precious break time. AI can draft a solid starting framework in seconds based on the role and qualities you want to highlight. Just tell it the person's role, what they're applying for, and a few strengths or examples you've noticed. You'll get a well-organized draft you can personalize with real details and your own voice. Always review carefully and add specific examples from your direct experience before sending. This turns a 30-minute task into a quick 5-minute polish.
