You got a pile of comments (reviews, survey answers, edits) and need to act.
Here's a batch of feedback. Group it into themes, rank the themes by how often they appear and how important they are, and give me a prioritized action list. Separate 'quick wins' from 'bigger changes.' Note any feedback that contradicts other feedback. [paste feedback]

Try ThisRewrite anything for the exact person who has to read it
Paste your content and say: 'Rewrite this for [my CEO / a new client / a skeptical engineer]. Match what they care about and cut what they don't.'
- Paste the draft.
- Name the exact reader and what they care about.
- Ask for the rewrite in their language.
Don't Do ThisDon't conclude the tool is useless after one bad answer
Most "AI is overhyped" verdicts come from a single thin prompt on a task the person never specified properly. The tool was never told what good looked like.
Instead: Before you write it off, run the same task once more with a role, the real source material, and an example of the output you want. Judge it on the second attempt.
