1. Untangle a messy email
Paste the thread (remove private details) and ask: “Summarize what they want, what I promised, and draft a polite reply under 120 words.”
2. Turn notes into a checklist
After a meeting, dump your notes and ask for a checklist with owners and deadlines. Edit names yourself — keep reality yours.
3. Rewrite for tone
Have something that sounds too sharp or too vague? Ask for “warmer and clearer, same facts.” Compare side by side before you send.
4. Prep for a conversation
“I’m meeting a client about [topic]. Give me five thoughtful questions and three risks I should watch for.” Use it as a briefing, not a script.
5. Explain something simply
Paste a confusing policy, invoice note, or article and ask: “Explain this like I’m busy and need the point in six bullets.”
The fifteen-minute rule
If a task takes you longer than fifteen minutes of blank-page staring, try AI for a first pass. You’re not cheating — you’re starting.
