thinking.

Working cover of Unsloppable by Valliappa Lakshmanan: use AI to think better and communicate clearly without AI slop.
A little less slop. A lot more you.Working cover

Better work. Better workdays.

Make your point.
Make their day.

A clear recommendation. A presentation that gets to the point. An email your colleagues can act on. Good communication makes everyone’s work a little easier.

This book is for anyone who writes emails, reports, proposals, or presentations and wants to use AI well. Learn to question its suggestions, bring your own experience, and turn a plausible draft into something worth reading.

Let your writing reflect your best thinking.

More than a faster first draft.

Give it something
to work with.

Bring the context, experience, and specifics that make an answer useful to your audience.

Find the holes
in your thinking.

Use AI to explore alternatives, question assumptions, and see what you might have missed.

03 /

Make the final
word yours.

Edit for substance and voice. Keep responsibility for the claims you make and the advice you give.
