How to use ChatGPT for client updates without sounding fake
Client updates fail when the model invents progress. Feed the facts, state the intent (reassure, ask, delay), and keep the draft short enough to edit in two minutes.
- 01
List what is true
Shipped items, blockers, next dates. Anything unknown stays TBD — do not let the model fill the gap.
- 02
Name the intent
Agree, push back, ask for a decision, or simply inform. Intent changes the whole draft.
- 03
Ask for a short and shorter version
Pick the shorter one more often. Clients skim.
