Business writing

  • Write an internal announcement

    Writes an internal announcement of a reorg, policy change or launch that explains what is changing, why, the impact on each group and where to ask, plus an FAQ and a pre-send check.

  • Write a project proposal or business case

    Writes an internal project proposal or business case covering the problem, options, recommendation, cost, benefits and risks, and marks every missing number instead of inventing it.

  • Write a project status report

    Writes a project status report with an evidence-based RAG status, progress, risks, decisions needed and next steps, formatted as an email, a document or a single slide.

Editing

All 17
  • Proofread a text
    PromptEditing

    Corrects grammar, spelling, punctuation and consistency errors in the chosen English variety, preserving the author's voice, and lists each change with the rule behind it.

  • Rewrite a text for tone
    PromptEditing

    Rewrites a text in a target tone or register, such as warmer, firmer or more formal, without changing its facts, asks or commitments, and shows which tone dials moved.

  • Simplify a text to plain language
    PromptEditing

    Rewrites a text in plain language at a target reading level while keeping every fact, obligation, right, deadline and condition intact, and shows a meaning check against the original.

  • Tighten prose
    PromptEditing

    Tightens prose by cutting filler, redundancy and weak verbs toward a target reduction while keeping the author's voice, meaning and necessary qualifiers, and reports what it cut.

Email

All 15
  • Decline a request gracefully
    PromptEmail

    Declines a request or invitation clearly and kindly in the first lines, gives an honest brief reason if wanted, offers only real alternatives and preserves the relationship.

  • Reply to an email
    PromptEmail

    Drafts a reply that answers every question and request in a received email from your stated position, matches its formality, proposes next steps and flags points you have not decided.

  • Triage an inbox
    PromptEmail

    Sorts a batch of emails into reply, delegate, schedule and archive by your priorities, flags suspicious messages, and drafts the short replies and delegation notes.

  • Write a professional email
    PromptEmail

    Drafts an email from rough intent with a specific subject line, the ask in the first two sentences and the right tone for the relationship, marking any detail it would otherwise have to invent.

Presentations

All 8
  • Critique a slide deck

    Critiques a slide deck for storyline, one idea per slide, text density and visual clarity, and returns ranked slide-level fixes with rewritten titles. Use before presenting or sending a deck.

  • Outline a presentation

    Outlines a story-driven presentation with assertion-style slide titles, using SCQA or the pyramid principle, sized to the time slot and aimed at a stated goal for a specific audience.

  • Write speaker notes

    Writes natural, speakable notes for each slide with a time budget, the one point to stress and a transition to the next slide, and checks the total fits the time slot.

  • Plan slide visuals

    Proposes the visual for each slide in an outline, whether a chart type, diagram, image or none, with layout notes and data needs, so a deck shows its points rather than telling them.

Public speaking

All 10
  • Prepare for tough questions

    Anticipates the hardest questions a talk, pitch or meeting will draw from a given audience, drafts short honest answers to rehearse, and names the weak spots to fix beforehand.

  • Write a speech

    Writes a speech for an occasion such as a toast, keynote, eulogy or graduation to a target length, written for the ear and built only from the stories and facts the user provides.

  • Craft a personal story

    Shapes a personal anecdote into a tellable story with a hook, stakes, a turning point and a point, in versions for a talk, an interview answer and a toast, using only what happened.

  • Critique a speech recording

    Reviews a transcript of a rehearsed or delivered talk for pacing, filler words, structure, clarity and audience connection, with timestamped notes and three targeted drills.
