Choose a task you know well
Use the made-up project email below for your first attempt. The task is to ask a team about a new report date. You do not need a document, work account, or real project to begin.
A familiar task helps you notice when AI changes a fact. Later, you could try a meeting agenda or short summary with information you are allowed to use. For now, stay with this one example.
Know what a correct answer must preserve
Next Tuesday is a proposed date, not an agreement. The reply deadline is noon this Thursday. Both details must stay clear, however the email is worded.
Day 1 is a reading and checking exercise. Day 2 uses the same notes to build a complete request. On day 3, you can try that request in one permitted tool or keep practising on the page.
Try it yourself
Choose a task and check an answer
Allow about 15–20 minutes, or longer if you need it. This is a practice estimate. You can do the whole checking exercise on this page without an AI account or a paid plan.
Made-up notes for all three lessons
The task is a short email asking the project team about a new report date. Nothing in these notes describes a real person or project.
- The report is due this Friday.
- Two sections still need checking.
- The project lead proposes next Tuesday as the new date.
- The team has not agreed to next Tuesday.
- The team should reply by noon this Thursday.
Choose this practice task
Start with the project email above. You already have the facts, so you can judge the answer without finding a document or sharing work information.
Write down the two details to protect: next Tuesday is only proposed, and replies are needed by noon this Thursday. You do not need to open an AI tool today.
Read a complete request
This shows how the notes become instructions for AI. Just read it for now; day 2 explains the parts.
Before you paste: use these made-up notes for practice. Before using work information, check that your workplace permits both the tool and the information. Removing a name does not make confidential material safe to share.
Complete instructions to copy
Write an email to the project team using only these made-up notes. Keep it under 100 words and use a calm, direct tone. Explain that two sections still need checking. Ask whether next Tuesday works as the new report date. Ask for a reply by noon this Thursday. Next Tuesday is proposed, not agreed. Do not invent a reason, an approval, or a promise. Notes: The report is due this Friday. Two sections still need checking. The project lead proposes next Tuesday as the new date. The team has not agreed to next Tuesday. The team should reply by noon this Thursday.Find two mistakes in this sample answer
This sample deliberately contains two unsupported details. Compare it with the notes before opening the explanation. You do not need an AI tool to do this check.
The team has agreed to move the report deadline to next Tuesday because the reviewer is away. Two sections still need checking. Please reply by noon this Thursday.Show the two mistakes and why they matter
- The team has not agreed to next Tuesday. The answer turns a proposal into a promise.
- The notes do not say that the reviewer is away. The answer invents a reason.
The two unfinished sections and the reply deadline are present. Those correct details do not make the whole answer safe to use.
Compare a correction with a checked answer
Read the correction below. It names the wrong details instead of only asking for a better answer.
Correction to copy
Next Tuesday has not been agreed. Ask whether it works instead. Remove the reason about the reviewer because it is not in the notes. Keep the two sections that still need checking and the request to reply by noon this Thursday.One corrected version
Subject: Could we move the report date to next Tuesday? Two sections of the report still need checking. Could we move the report due this Friday to next Tuesday? Please reply by noon this Thursday so we can confirm the plan.Different wording can be right. Check that the answer keeps the facts, asks about next Tuesday, includes the reply deadline, and adds no unsupported reason or agreement. If it still changes the facts, write the short email yourself. Do not send this made-up email to anyone.
Try one small change
Change the proposed date to next Wednesday and the reply deadline to 3 p.m. this Thursday. Change both the instructions and the notes before trying again. If you are staying on this page, rewrite the corrected email yourself with those dates.
Check that next Tuesday and noon have disappeared from the new answer. The new date must still be a question.
You have finished when you can check these points
- I can name the task and explain why the agreement and the reviewer’s absence were wrong.
- The answer keeps both unfinished sections, the proposed date, and the reply deadline.
- No reason or agreement was added. I checked the changed dates too.
Then mark the lesson complete below. This records your own progress, not a test score.
