Use AI to identify and close logic gaps where your argument jumps without explanation.
You've written something important—a proposal, a case for budget, a recommendation—and it makes perfect sense to you. But that's the problem: you already know the full story. Your reader doesn't. They'll hit a spot where you leap from point A to point C without explaining B, and suddenly your argument feels unconvincing or confusing. AI can audit your writing specifically for these logic gaps—the missing steps, unexplained connections, or unsupported claims that weaken your case. This goes beyond general proofreading. You're asking AI to act like a skeptical reader who doesn't automatically agree with you, someone who notices when you've skipped a crucial explanation or assumed everyone shares your background knowledge. It will flag sentences that feel like non-sequiturs, claims that need evidence, or conclusions that don't follow from what came before. You then get a clear list of exactly where to add clarification, evidence, or reasoning. This technique is especially powerful before you send anything persuasive: business cases, project proposals, policy recommendations, or any document where someone needs to say yes. You'll catch the weak links in your argument before your reader does—and turn a document that almost convinces into one that actually does.

“I'm going to share a document where I'm trying to persuade someone to approve or agree with something. Please read it as a skeptical reviewer and identify every place where: (1) I make a claim without supporting it, (2) I jump from one idea to another without explaining the connection, (3) I assume the reader knows something they might not, or (4) my conclusion doesn't clearly follow from the evidence I provided. For each gap you find, tell me exactly which sentence or paragraph has the problem and what's missing. Here's my document: [paste your draft]”
