    What AI writing assistants do

    ~15s
    AI writing tools help you draft, edit, and improve text. They can write first drafts, fix grammar, suggest better wording, summarize long documents, and translate between languages.

    Popular tools

    ~15s
    ChatGPT (chat.openai.com): versatile general-purpose writer. Claude (claude.ai): excellent for long documents and nuanced writing. Grammarly: real-time grammar and style checking in any text field. Microsoft Copilot: integrated into Word and Outlook.

    Email drafting

    ~15s
    Prompt: "Write a professional email to my landlord about a broken dishwasher. Be polite but firm. Mention it's been 2 weeks since I reported it." The AI drafts it, you review and personalize before sending.
    4

    Document summarization

    ~15s
    Paste a long article, report, or email chain and ask "Summarize the key points in 5 bullet points." Saves enormous time when dealing with lengthy documents.

    Creative writing help

    ~15s
    Ask AI to brainstorm ideas, create outlines, write first drafts, or help overcome writer's block. "Write a birthday toast for my mom who loves gardening and is turning 70" gives you a starting point to customize.
    6

    Best practices

    ~15s
    Always review and edit AI output — it's a starting point, not a final product. Add your personal voice and specific details. Don't submit AI writing as your own for academic work. Verify any facts the AI includes.
    7

    Privacy reminder

    ~15s
    Don't paste sensitive information (financial data, medical records, passwords) into AI chatbots. Your inputs may be used to train the model. For sensitive work, use enterprise versions with data privacy guarantees.
