Use AI to draft a neutral project update that keeps warring subcontractors informed without taking sides.
When subs are blaming each other for delays or quality issues, you need to communicate clearly without escalating the drama. AI can help you write a factual, even-handed project update that documents what happened, what needs to happen next, and who's responsible — without pointing fingers or using inflammatory language. Paste in your rough notes about the situation, and let AI turn it into a professional message that keeps everyone accountable but doesn't fan the flames. This is especially useful when you need to loop in the owner or GC without making it sound like you're taking sides. The result is a message that documents the facts, sets clear expectations, and keeps the project moving forward.

Here are my notes: [paste your rough notes about what happened, what you observed, and what needs to happen].
