Frequently asked questions

How does this tool write the email?

It takes your role, the accomplishments you list, and the number or range you're asking for, and passes them to a free AI language model with clear instructions to write a complete, ready-to-send email - a short opening stating the purpose, a paragraph that grounds the ask in your actual accomplishments, the specific number stated plainly, and a collaborative closing inviting a conversation rather than issuing an ultimatum. The model is explicitly told never to invent facts, dates, figures or achievements beyond what you provided.

Will it invent accomplishments or numbers I didn't give it?

No - the prompt explicitly instructs the model to use only the details you provided and never fabricate facts, dates, figures or achievements. That said, always read the generated email carefully before sending: AI text generation isn't infallible, and you're the one whose name and career is on the message, so a final human review is a sensible step regardless of what any tool promises.

What should I put if I don't have one specific target number in mind?

A range works fine - something like '$95,000-$105,000' or '8-12%' gives the email enough to work with while leaving room for the actual conversation. If you have real market data (a salary survey, comparable job postings, a recruiter's estimate for your role and city), putting that in the additional context field lets the email reference it, which tends to land better than an unsupported number.

Is what I type into this tool stored anywhere?

No - your details are sent only to generate that one email, using a free AI model, and nothing is stored afterward. There's no account, login or history for this tool, the same as every other AI writing tool on this site.

Should I send the email exactly as it comes out, with no changes?

Treat it as a strong first draft, not a finished product. Add the specific names, dates, or internal project titles that make it clearly yours, double-check every number is exactly what you meant to ask for, and adjust the tone slightly if it doesn't quite match how you normally write to your manager. A generated draft that saves you the blank-page problem is the goal here - not a script to copy-paste verbatim.

What if I don't have big, dramatic accomplishments to list yet?

List what's actually true, even if it feels modest - consistent reliability, specific tasks you've owned, a problem you solved, added responsibilities you've taken on since your last review, positive feedback you've received. Salary conversations are rarely won purely on a few headline wins; a clear, honest account of your actual contribution is a legitimate and often more persuasive foundation than an exaggerated one.

Is email actually a good way to start a salary negotiation, versus talking in person?

Both have a place - many people find it easier to lay out their case clearly in writing first, then use the email as the agenda for a follow-up conversation, rather than negotiating cold in person. An email also gives your manager time to think and to check with HR or a budget owner before responding, which can work in your favor rather than putting them on the spot. Use whichever approach fits your workplace's culture and your own comfort level; this tool is there to help with the writing either way.

Can I use this for negotiating a new job offer, not just an existing salary?

Yes - the same structure works well for a new-offer negotiation: describe the role you're being offered as your 'current role/title' field, use your relevant experience and accomplishments from prior roles as the accomplishments field, and state the number you're countering with. The tone the tool generates (confident but collaborative, never demanding) suits an offer negotiation just as well as an existing-role raise request.

What tone does the generated email use?

Confident but respectful and collaborative - never demanding or entitled. The instructions given to the AI model specifically avoid an ultimatum-style tone; the goal is an email that states a clear, well-supported ask while inviting a genuine conversation, which tends to be both more persuasive and more true to how most successful salary conversations actually go.

Does using this tool guarantee I'll get the raise or number I ask for?

No tool can guarantee a negotiation outcome - that depends on your company's budget, your manager's authority to approve it, market conditions, and the actual strength of your case, none of which this tool has any control over. What it can genuinely help with is the part that trips a lot of people up: turning a stack of real accomplishments and a number into a clear, well-organized, professional message instead of staring at a blank draft.

How specific should my listed accomplishments be?

As specific as you can make them - concrete outcomes and numbers ('reduced page load time by 40%', 'closed three enterprise accounts worth $200k combined') read as far more credible than vague claims ('did a great job', 'was very helpful'). If you don't have hard numbers for everything, describing the specific problem you solved or responsibility you took on is still much stronger than a general statement.

Can I ask for something other than a base salary increase, like a title change or extra benefits?

Yes - put whatever you're actually negotiating for in the 'what you're asking for' field, whether that's a specific salary figure, a percentage raise, a title change, additional equity, extra vacation days, or a combination. The generator will build the email around whatever ask you give it, using the same accomplishments-first structure.
