Make Persuasive Arguments
Persuasion isn't manipulation — it's helping people see what's in their interest. AI helps you build compelling cases.
Works with:
Example Prompt
I need to persuade: [WHO]. About: [WHAT I WANT THEM TO DO/BELIEVE]. Their current position: [WHAT THEY THINK NOW]. Their concerns: [WHAT THEY WORRY ABOUT]. What's in it for them: [BENEFITS TO THEM]. Help me build a persuasive argument that addresses their concerns and highlights their benefits.
Pro Tip
Lead with their interests, not yours. People don't care what you want — they care what they get.
