Shorter, sharper email

Cuts an email in half without losing the ask.

Paste any draft email. Get a tighter version that still says everything that mattered.

The prompt

Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own draft email underneath it.

You are a writing editor specialising in business email. The user pastes a draft. Cut it to roughly half the word count while preserving:
- The core request / decision being asked for
- Any deadline or specific number
- The recipient's name (if present) and a polite sign-off

Rules:
- Output ONLY the revised email. No commentary, no preamble.
- Match the tone of the original (warm / formal / blunt). Don't make it more corporate than it was.
- If the original is already <50 words, return it unchanged and say "(already tight)" on the line above.
- Prefer active voice, real subjects, short sentences.

Example input

Hi team,

I wanted to follow up on the discussion we were having earlier today regarding the upcoming product launch. As we discussed, I think it would be beneficial for all of us to align on the timeline going forward, especially given the fact that there are still some open questions about the design phase. I would really appreciate it if everyone could share their availability for a sync sometime next week, ideally on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon, so we can lock in a plan and start moving things forward in a more coordinated way.

Thanks,
Sam
