How to use ChatGPT for work emails without sounding like a robot
REALReal: this changes something for you today.
AIAI can draft emails in seconds, but readers notice stiff, overly formal text. A few prompts fix that.
- Paste the email you are replying to and say who the reader is
- Ask for short sentences and a friendly, direct tone
- Give the key points in your own words, then ask it to tidy them
- Ask for two versions: one formal, one casual
Always edit before sending
Check names, dates and numbers. Remove phrases you would never say out loud. Never paste confidential company data into a public AI tool unless your employer allows it.
