Use AI step-by-step to polish your writing so it sounds clear, confident, and like you—never a copy-paste fix.
1. Start by writing a draft of your email, report, or presentation slide in your own words. Don’t worry about perfection yet—just get your ideas down. 2. Paste your draft into ChatGPT or Claude, and ask it to suggest clearer phrasing or simpler words while keeping your tone and message. 3. Review the AI’s suggestions carefully. Accept changes that improve clarity or professionalism, but tweak anything that feels off or too formal. 4. Ask the AI to check your writing for polite, respectful language—especially important for emails or messages to professors or classmates. 5. Use the AI to shorten or reorganize long or confusing sentences, making your writing easier to follow. 6. Finally, read your polished version out loud to make sure it still sounds like you. The goal is clearer communication, not a different voice.
