Use AI to check if your writing sounds too formal or stiff for the audience and situation.

Sometimes you draft a message that's technically correct but sounds weirdly formal — like you're writing a legal memo when you're just asking a coworker to review a file. This happens when you overthink tone, especially in situations where you want to sound professional but not robotic. Before you send that email or post that team update, paste it into ChatGPT and ask if the tone matches your intent. AI can spot when your writing is too stiff, too casual, or just doesn't sound like a real human talking to another real human. It'll suggest tweaks that keep your message professional but readable — so you come across as approachable, not like a corporate template.
