Your AI Workstyle

The Translator

“You make the dense thing land in one read.”

You take the tangled update, the jargon-filled deck, the “wait, what are they actually saying?” and turn it into something a busy person gets on the first pass. When you explain it, people finally act.

Your full read is below, free. The mix, the edge, the blind spot, and a prompt to run today.

Your workstyle mix

Your strongest pull is the Translator. Here is how all six styles stack up for you.

What this means for you

Your first useful AI move is clarity for the reader. The point should get easier to act on, not more polished for its own sake.

Lead with watch this become useful, not a lecture.

Your edge with AI

Point AI at the reader, not the sentence. Hand it the dense thing and ask what your reader will actually feel and do, and it strips the polish down to the point, so the message moves people instead of just sounding smart.

The thinker who sharpens your style

Rory Sutherland · psycho-logic beats logic: ask what the reader will feel, not what is most correct.

Your blind spot

You make things land, but polish can quietly become the goal. Clarity is not sounding smart; it is making the next action obvious, and what moves people is often what they will feel, not the most logical phrasing. Aim AI at the reader's reaction, not a cleaner sentence.

Your first shift

Plain-English Translator

Use this before a client update, executive note, team announcement, or any message that got too dense.

Your prompt

Rewrite this so a capable but busy person can understand it in 60 seconds. Keep the real point, remove jargon, and add the one action they should take.

What to paste

Paste the draft, technical note, or project summary after removing private details that do not need to travel with the prompt.

Avoid this

Do not ask AI to make things sound impressive. Ask it to make the point easier to act on.

Good output check

A good output should keep the real point, the risk, and the next action visible in under 60 seconds.
