Use AI to review your work message for overpromising or vague commitments before you send it.
Before you send that email promising to 'look into it' or 'circle back soon,' ask AI to flag any commitments you're making that could come back to haunt you. It will spot vague language that sounds helpful but sets unclear expectations, deadlines you might not be able to meet, and promises that depend on things outside your control. This keeps you honest, protects your credibility, and helps you communicate what you can actually deliver instead of what sounds good in the moment.

Then suggest clearer, more honest alternatives that set better expectations. Here's my draft message: [paste your email or message here]”
