Sometimes you need more than a generic corporate email.
Sometimes you need to carefully align an email with a person's (or group's) specific needs or wants... that ChatGPT is, frankly, clueless about.
In fact, sometimes you don't even know which nuanced, emotional dots you're supposed to be drawing a line between.
Well, I'm here to tell you that the most popular bot of all time can still help, with a little prompting...
What can it do? See for yourself and please tell me in the comments below whether this is helpful for any of your high priority emails, and why (or why not).
Below are ChatGPT's top five suggestions (with examples) for aligning an email with the audience's needs and wants, with minor edits by me:
