The Scenario

A manager’s AI-drafted staff memo sounds cold and generic. Learners rewrite it so it sounds human, honest, and like the manager — then adapt it for two different audiences.

Learning Objectives

  • Draft from rough notes and outlines
  • Adapt tone, audience, and reading level
  • Edit with AI, then with your own ear
  • Keep your personal voice in the final product
  • Disclose AI assistance appropriately

Module Sequence

  1. AI as writing partner
  2. Outlines before drafts
  3. Tone and audience control
  4. Editing: AI pass, human pass
  5. Keeping your voice
  6. Transparency and disclosure

Assessment

Turn rough bullets into two versions (executive + staff) in the learner’s own voice; attach a disclosure note.

The Human + AI Framework

The human owns the message. AI drafts; the human decides what goes out under their name.

Direct it. Check it. Question it. Decide.
