Write a Request for Help
Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot · Gemini
You can write a clear, polite request for help.
The problem
Vague asks for help get ignored or misunderstood.
What this skill does
Tell the AI what you need, from whom, and by when, and ask for a clear, polite request. A specific ask is much easier for someone to say yes to. Make it easy for them to help.
When to use it
- Use this when you need a favour, support, or input from someone.
Juni’s tip
Juni says: people help more when the ask is clear and kind. Make it easy to say yes.

Weak vs. better
ask for help
Write a clear, polite request asking a colleague to review my 2-page report by Thursday, explaining I value their eye for detail.
Why this works
Stating what you need, by when, and why makes the request easy to understand and easy to say yes to.
Practice task
Think of help you need and ask the AI to write a clear, specific request.
Self-check
- The request says exactly what I need and by when.
- It is polite and explains why briefly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Being vague about what you need or by when, so the person cannot help easily.
- Forgetting to say why, which makes the request easy to deprioritise.
