2 min read Always free

Reaching out after a long time feels scary. You may not know how to start. That is okay. Many people feel this way.

AI means ChatGPT, a free helper you type to. It can write warm words to break the ice for you.

You do not have to use every word. Read it over. Add a memory you share. Then send your hello.

Try this
  1. Open ChatGPT and tell it about your friend.
  2. Say how long it has been since you talked.
  3. Ask for a warm, short message to say hello.
  4. Add one fond memory to make it feel personal.
  5. Send it to your friend in a text or email.
A message you can copy

Please write a short, warm message to an old friend named [friend's name]. We have not talked in [number] years. I want to say hello and that I miss them. Keep it kind and easy.

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.
