Use AI to draft a first-pass response to a long email so you can reply faster.
When you get a long, detailed email with multiple questions or requests, it can take 15–20 minutes just to figure out what to say and how to structure your reply. Instead of staring at a blank reply box, paste the email into ChatGPT and let it draft a structured first response that addresses each point. You'll still edit and personalize it, but you're starting from something solid instead of nothing — cutting your reply time in half.
