When to use it

When you face a long form, grant or application

Step by step

  1. Copy the questions out

    Paste every question and its word limit into a Google Doc. It's easier to work on outside the form.

  2. Gather your facts

    Under the questions, jot down the real facts: dates, numbers, achievements, your reasons. Bullet points are fine.

  3. Ask for drafts

    Paste the questions and your facts into your AI assistant with this prompt.

    Prompt to copyHelp me answer this application for [what it is]. Below are the questions with word limits, and my notes. For each question, write a draft answer that: uses only the facts in my notes, stays under the word limit (show the word count), answers exactly what is asked, and sounds like a real person in plain English. Where my notes don't give enough to answer well, write [NEED: what's missing] instead of making something up. Questions: [paste] My notes: [paste]
  4. Fill the gaps and make it yours

    Add anything marked [NEED], change phrases that don't sound like you, and check every fact before copying the answers into the form.

What you get

Q3 (max 150 words): Why do you need this funding? Draft (128 words): 'Our community garden has grown from 12 to 40 regular volunteers since 2024, but our only shed was damaged in the March storm...' [NEED: the quote for the replacement shed].
