Use AI to simulate reader questions and spot gaps in your document before sharing it.
When you finish a report, email, or memo, it’s easy to miss questions or unclear parts because you know the content well. Use AI to play the role of a careful reader who asks questions or points out missing details. This helps you catch gaps, strengthen your message, and avoid back-and-forth emails later. Step 1: Paste your draft into ChatGPT or Claude. Step 2: Ask the AI to pretend to be a busy colleague who needs to fully understand the content and to list any questions or unclear parts. Step 3: Review the AI’s questions and feedback carefully—these highlight where your message might be confusing or incomplete. Step 4: Edit your document to answer those questions and clarify weak spots. Step 5: Use the AI again to confirm the improved version is clear and complete. By treating AI as your first reviewer who challenges your work, you save time and improve quality before anyone else reads your document.
