Use AI to test your email or message by imagining how different recipients might react before sending.
When you’ve crafted a tough email—like delivering bad news, escalating a vendor issue, or requesting a favor—you want to be sure it hits the right tone and avoids misunderstandings. Use AI to play the role of your audience and share how they might interpret your message. This helps you spot phrases that could sound harsh, confusing, or unclear before anyone else reads it. It’s like having a trusted colleague quickly review your message with fresh eyes, saving you from awkward follow-ups later.

“Act as three different readers of the following email: an impatient vendor, a busy executive, and a cautious team member. Read this message and tell me how each person might feel or react after reading it, what parts might confuse or upset them, and suggest any changes to make it clearer, more polite, or more effective: "Dear Vendor, We have been waiting over two weeks for the delivery promised on March 1, and this delay is causing major problems for our project timeline. Please provide an immediate update on the status and your plan to expedite the shipment. If we don’t hear back by Friday, we will need to escalate this issue to senior management. Thank you for your prompt attention. Best regards, [Your Name]"”
