Use AI to rewrite your recommendation letter draft so it highlights specific strengths with vivid examples.
You've just finished a rough draft of a recommendation letter for a student applying to college, a scholarship, or a program—but when you reread it, it sounds generic and flat. You want the letter to really stand out and showcase the student's unique qualities, but you don't have hours to craft the perfect version from scratch. Paste your draft into ChatGPT and ask it to strengthen the language by turning vague praise into specific, vivid examples. The AI can spot weak phrases like 'hardworking' or 'great student' and suggest concrete anecdotes or stronger descriptors that make the letter memorable. This works especially well when you're writing multiple letters in one sitting and need each one to feel personalized and compelling without burning through your entire evening.
