Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I'm upset, and I've written a draft email to [WHO IT'S TO, e.g. a client, colleague or vendor] about [THE SITUATION, e.g. an invoice that's 60 days late]. Here's my draft, as angry as it is: [YOUR ANGRY DRAFT] What I actually want to happen: [WHAT YOU WANT, e.g. get paid and keep the client] Please: 1. Tell me honestly how my draft is likely to land, and which lines could backfire. 2. Point out any assumptions I'm making that might not be true, and what I could ask instead. 3. Rewrite it so it's calm, firm, and professional. Keep every legitimate point, cut the heat, and make my request crystal clear. 4. Give me a softer version and a firmer version so I can choose. 5. Suggest a neutral subject line. Keep it shorter than my draft.
Paste your angry draft and what you actually want to happen. You get an honest read on how it lands, the assumptions to check and calm rewrites in a softer and a firmer version.
Step by step
