Use AI to review your work for accidental complexity so busy readers can actually understand it.
You've written something—a proposal, an update, a process doc—and you know what you mean. But will your reader get it without re-reading three times? Complexity sneaks in: too many ideas per sentence, insider terms you forgot to define, logic that made sense in your head but skips steps on the page. AI can act as your 'confused reader' and flag every spot where someone might pause, squint, or give up. It'll point out sentences that are too long, paragraphs that try to do too much, and places where you assume knowledge your audience might not have. This is especially useful before sending anything to people outside your team, senior leaders with no context, or anyone who's buried in their own work and won't give you a second read. Let AI catch the complexity before your reader has to struggle through it.
