Free Lesson 3
Draft a Professional Email with AI
A clear, friendly email opens doors. In this quick lesson you will use AI to draft a polished message in seconds, then make it sound just like you.
The Formula
Role, Task, Details, Format
Great prompts tell AI four things: who to be (Role), what to do (Task), the facts that make it fit you (Details), and how the answer should look (Format).
BYTE's Tip
Want to talk instead of type? Press Search + D on your Chromebook and just speak.
Weak prompt
Write an email.
AI does not know who the email is for, what you need, or how long it should be.
Strong prompt
You are a helpful office assistant. Write a short, polite email to [who it is for] about [what you need]. Keep it under 120 words, use a warm and professional tone, and end with a clear next step.
Role, Task, Details, and Format give AI everything it needs.
Try It Now
