Five messages, made professional
The too-casual status update
Before
gonna be late with the report, had a crazy week lol
After
Quick heads-up: the report will be a little late - this week's workload was heavier than expected. I'll have it to you by Thursday morning.
Chasing a colleague
Before
did you do the thing i asked about yet??
After
Just checking in on the request I sent over earlier - have you had a chance to look at it? Let me know if anything's blocking you.
Disagreeing with a plan
Before
i think this plan is a bad idea tbh
After
I have some concerns about this plan. Could we walk through a couple of points before we commit to it?
Asking for a day off
Before

After
Would it be alright if I took Friday off? I'd like to use one of my vacation days, and I'll make sure everything is covered before then.
Accepting feedback grudgingly

Frequently asked questions
- What does making a message sound professional actually change?
- The rewriter removes slang, filler, and blunt phrasing, tightens the structure, and shifts the register so the message reads like something you'd confidently send at work. Your meaning, requests, and facts stay exactly the same.
- Will it make my message sound stiff or robotic?
- No. It's built to keep your message natural - professional doesn't mean corporate jargon. The rewrite stays close to your original length and keeps your voice, just polished.
- Does this work for Slack and Teams messages, not just emails?
- Yes. Paste anything you'd send at work - a Slack reply, a Teams message, a comment on a ticket, or a full email. Anything up to 2,000 characters works.
- How is this different from a grammar checker?
- A grammar checker fixes errors in what you wrote. This tool rewrites the tone - it takes a message that's technically correct but too blunt, too casual, or too awkward, and returns a version that lands professionally.
