2 min read Always free

Sometimes a work email is hard to start. You want to be kind but clear. That balance can feel tricky.

ChatGPT is a free website that writes for you. You tell it what you need to say. It makes the tone warm and polite.

Read what it writes before you send. Make sure it sounds like you and says what you mean.

Try this
  1. Write down the main thing you need to say.
  2. Open ChatGPT and share that message.
  3. Ask it to make the email polite and clear.
  4. Read it over and send when it feels right.
A message you can copy

Please write a short, polite email to a coworker. Here is what I need to say: [your message]. Keep the tone kind and clear.

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.
