  3. 3

    Check the meaning, then use it

    Compare names, dates, numbers, and commitments with your situation or original draft. To refine a refusal, open “Refine the message after getting a result”, choose the issues and paste the follow-up into the same ChatGPT conversation.

THE CHECKLIST

A quick check before you finish

Review your result and check each item.

Something not quite right?

The meaning changed

Ask it to keep the original meaning and add no new facts. Correct any factual changes before using the text.

It is too long or too formal

Add one clear constraint, such as “Use two sentences” or “Make it sound like a message to a colleague.”

I reached a usage limit

Free plans have limits. Follow the on-screen notice and try again later. You do not need a paid plan to follow this guide.
