Write clearly with AI
From first draft to a text that is correct and suits you.
After this lesson
You provide useful writing instructions and check facts, tone and promises.
In view · Step by step
A text gets two versions
Start with the content that is truly fixed: purpose, reader and agreements.
Request plain language, short sentences and an appropriate tone.
Compare the draft with the facts and delete invented promises.
Part 1 of 3 · Rough facts
Your preference for less movement is on. Choose each part yourself.
Give your reader a clear place
Tell who you are writing for and what the reader should know or do afterwards. Provide approved facts, desired length and tone. A short example text of your own style helps more than just saying “professional”.
Work in two rounds
First ask for an outline and assess whether the correct information is included. Then have the draft written. This prevents a fluent text from hiding a missing agreement or incorrect assumption.
Edit with a fixed checklist
Compare figures and data with the source. Check whether AI has added any benefits, guarantees or agreements. Read the text aloud: does this sound like your organisation and is the next step clear? You remain responsible for the final message.
New practice example
From explanation to a usable result.
Rewriting changes the phrasing. It must not add any new agreements or promises.
Fictional practice situationFictional draft: we have received your request. No delivery date has been confirmed yet. You want to make the message warmer and shorter.
View a possible solution
This is how it can be done
Thank you for your request. We are reviewing it and will get back to you. The delivery date has not yet been confirmed. The sentence “You will receive everything on Friday” does not belong here.
Why this works
The tone can be made friendlier while the factual uncertainty is maintained. Do not only check spelling, but also what the text promises.
Make it slightly more difficult
Make two versions: one for a regular customer and one for a first contact. Keep the facts identical.
Extra practice, at your own pace. You do not need to submit anything. This does not count towards an automatic assessment.

Rewrite without changing the facts
Save a version and then change én choice. Which differences are style and which change the content?
Fictitious source: from Wednesday the workshop is open from 9 to 16 o'clock. The precise calendar date is not yet known. No discount has been announced.
Two written style examples: “Hi!” is friendly, “Dear visitor,” is businesslike. You change fixed text elements, not a generated AI response.

Fictitious source: from Wednesday the workshop is open from 9 to 16 o'clock. The precise calendar date is not yet known. No discount has been announced.
Your compiled version
Hi! From Wednesday, the workshop is open from 9 am to 4 pm. The exact date is not yet known.
20 words · English
The known hours remain preserved and the unknown date remains visibly open.
All variants are pre-written. The check responds to your choices and does not assess free text. In a real translation or rewrite, you also check nuance, tone and agreements.
This trial works locally with fictitious data and does not count towards your lesson completion. It starts anew with a new lesson or reload.
A prompt to get you started
Write a friendly follow-up email of maximum 100 words after an initial conversation. Target audience: a potential client. Use these confirmed points: [points]. Close with exactly one non-committal follow-up question. Do not invent a price, deadline, or commitment. Afterwards, indicate which information is still missing.
Apply it
The confirmed source says: “We will review your question within two working days.” A AI draft says: “Your problem is guaranteed to be solved tomorrow.”
Which version can you use based on the source?
- Your problem is guaranteed to be solved tomorrow.
- We will solve everything as quickly as possible, certainly this week.
- We will review your question within two working days.

Test your insight
AI adds a discount that you did not specify. What do you do?
- Remove the discount and check the draft for other added promises.
- Leave the discount as it sounds customer-friendly.
- Only check the spelling.
Extra practice
Write a prompt for a quote or follow-up email. Mention the target audience, a maximum of three facts, the desired next step, and what AI must not add.
Write a follow-up email to a fictional client who requested information about a workshop. Mention that we still want to discuss the needs and group size. Ask which moment suits for a short conversation. Maximum 90 words; do not add a price, availability, or guarantee.
