Use AI to review your written work for questions your reader will have that you forgot to answer.

You write something at work — a proposal, an update, an explanation — and it makes perfect sense to you. But that's the problem: you already know the full story. Your reader doesn't. They'll have questions, and if your document doesn't answer them, you'll get a reply asking for clarification, or worse, they'll fill in the gaps with wrong assumptions. Before you send anything important, use AI to play the role of your reader and flag the questions you didn't realize you left unanswered. 1. Paste your draft into ChatGPT — an email, memo, proposal, report, or update. 2. Ask AI to read it from your recipient's point of view and list every question they'll likely have after reading it. 3. Review the list. You'll immediately see gaps: missing context, unclear next steps, assumptions you made without explaining them, or decisions you didn't justify. 4. Go back to your draft and add a sentence or two that answers each question directly. You don't need to rewrite everything — just fill the holes. 5. Send the updated version. Your reader will understand it the first time, and you'll avoid the back-and-forth that eats up everyone's day. This works especially well before sending project updates to leadership, proposals to clients, or instructions to teammates who weren't in the room when decisions were made.
