Reaching out to someone new feels bold. But most people are glad to help. A short, kind note opens the door.

ChatGPT is a free website that writes for you. You tell it who you want to reach and why. It writes a friendly message.

Be clear about what you hope for. A small ask is easier to say yes to. Keep it warm and brief.

Try this
  1. Note who you want to reach and what you hope for.
  2. Open ChatGPT and share those details.
  3. Ask for a short, friendly networking message.
  4. Read it and make sure the ask is small and clear.
A message you can copy

Please write a short, friendly message to network with someone. I want to reach [name or role] because [reason]. Keep it warm and make my ask small.

Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.
