Quick AI TipGeneral Workplace

Use AI to draft a follow-up email when you haven't heard back from someone.

You sent an email last week and got no response. Now you need to follow up without sounding pushy, annoying, or passive-aggressive. This is where most people stare at a blank screen for ten minutes trying to strike the right tone. Instead, paste your original message into ChatGPT and ask it to write a polite follow-up. It'll craft something professional that acknowledges they're busy, gently reminds them of your request, and makes it easy for them to respond. You can adjust the tone if you want it more casual or formal, but either way, you'll have a solid draft in seconds instead of agonizing over every word. This works for following up on meeting requests, pending approvals, unanswered questions, or anything else sitting in your sent folder with no reply.
