Use AI to check if your email sounds too harsh or too soft before you hit send.
You've drafted a tricky email—maybe you're following up on something overdue, declining a request, or pushing back on an unreasonable timeline. You read it once, twice, three times, but you can't tell anymore: does this sound too blunt? Too apologetic? Will it be taken the wrong way? Before you send it (or ask a colleague to review it), paste it into ChatGPT and ask for a tone check. AI can spot when your language might come across as too aggressive, too passive, or inconsistent—and suggest tweaks that keep your message professional, clear, and respectful. It's like having a second pair of eyes who's never too busy to help you strike the right balance.
