Drafting, replying and rewriting emails

11 min

In this lesson you will:

  • Draft and improve emails quickly
  • Summarise long documents and extract key points
  • Turn meeting notes into clear action items

Office work is full of repetitive writing and reading tasks — exactly where AI saves the most time.

Emails

  • Draft: “Write a polite reminder to a client about an overdue invoice of ₹18,500. Firm but friendly.”
  • Improve: paste your draft and ask for a clearer, shorter version.
  • Reply: paste an email and ask for three reply options with different tones.

Documents and reports

  • Summarise a 20-page report into one page.
  • Extract all dates, amounts and responsibilities into a table.
  • Create a first draft from your bullet points, then edit it.

Meetings

Paste rough notes (or a transcript) and ask for decisions, action items and open questions. Share the clean version with your team the same day.

Planning

Give AI your task list and deadlines and ask for a prioritised weekly plan.

Safety at work

Follow your company’s AI policy. Use approved tools for confidential information, and remove personal or sensitive details before pasting anything into public tools.
