Quick AI TipGeneral Workplace

Use AI to check if your message actually answers the question you were asked.

You've drafted a reply to an email or message request. But before you hit send, ask yourself: did you actually answer what they asked? It's surprisingly easy to respond with helpful information that still leaves the other person confused or needing to follow up again. Paste the original request and your draft reply into ChatGPT and ask it to check if you've directly answered the question. AI will spot if you've gone off on a tangent, buried your answer in explanation, or missed part of a multi-part question entirely. This is especially useful when you're replying to requests that came in while you were busy, or when someone asked something complex and you want to make sure you covered everything. It takes 15 seconds and saves you from the awkward follow-up email asking for clarification on something you thought you already explained.
