A writing assistant for the staring-at-a-blank-page part

Writing help splits into three jobs, and this handles all of them in one chat.

Starting — the hardest part. Describe the thing ("a friendly reminder email about the unpaid invoice, firm but not cold") and get a draft to react to. A mediocre first draft you can edit beats a perfect blank page every time.

Fixing — paste what you have and say what's wrong: "too formal," "too long," "sounds like a robot wrote it," "make the second point land harder." Because it's a conversation, you can iterate — tighten, then warm it up, then cut it in half — instead of re-rolling from scratch.

Judging — before you hit send, ask "how will this read to my boss?" or "what's the weakest argument here?" It's a decent cold reader that's available at 2am and doesn't get tired of your drafts.

The one skill worth learning is being specific about tone and audience — "professional but warm, to a client I know well" changes everything. We wrote up the patterns in how to write better AI prompts and a whole guide on emails specifically.

The stock complaint about AI writing is that it sounds like AI writing — smooth, hedged, and weirdly enthusiastic. The fix is in the instructions: paste a sample of your own writing and say "match this voice," ban the words that annoy you ("don't say leverage"), and always do one human pass at the end. Used that way it's a drafting engine and editor, and the final text is still yours — in voice and in responsibility. There's a page devoted to just that job: the AI humanizer.
