Use AI to review your work for the questions your boss will ask before you submit it.
You've finished a proposal, report, or recommendation. Before you hit send, there's one more filter it needs to pass: the questions your manager will actually ask when they read it. Not the questions you hope they'll ask — the ones they always ask. The budget concerns. The timeline pushback. The "did you think about..." moments that catch you off guard in the hallway. AI can role-play as your boss and generate the exact questions they're likely to raise based on your document. You paste in your work, describe your manager's priorities and typical concerns, and ask AI to review it from their perspective. What you get back is a list of gaps, missing details, and unaddressed objections — the same things that would come back to you in an email with "can you clarify..." written six times. This isn't about making your boss happy. It's about catching weak spots before someone else does. You get a second draft that's tighter, more defensible, and actually answers the questions that matter. You walk into the conversation prepared instead of scrambling. And your manager sees someone who thought it through.
