Quick AI TipGeneral Workplace

Use AI to check if your writing accidentally leaves out key information someone needs to act on it.

You've written an email, update, or document and you're about to hit send. But here's the problem: you know the context so well that you might be skipping details other people actually need. Maybe you forgot to mention a deadline, or didn't explain what action you need from them, or assumed they know background information they don't have. Before you send it, paste your draft into ChatGPT and ask it to flag anything that's unclear, missing, or would confuse someone who wasn't part of your earlier conversations. This is especially useful for requests, project updates, or instructions where people need to take action. AI will spot the gaps you're too close to see — like a missing date, an undefined acronym, or a vague ask. You'll send clearer messages that get faster responses, and you'll avoid the dreaded reply: 'Can you clarify what you need from me?' It takes 30 seconds and saves you from looking unclear or wasting time on follow-up emails.

I'm about to send this message to a colleague. Read it and tell me: What key information is missing that someone would need to understand or act on this? Are there any unclear parts, missing deadlines, vague requests, or assumptions I'm making that the reader might not share? [Paste your draft here]
