AI Prompt of the Day | Learn how to use AI to write a short and polite WhatsApp message
Have you ever wanted to send a WhatsApp message to a teacher, customer, colleague, neighbour or office contact but struggled to find the right words? You may know what you want to say, but you may not know how to say it politely and clearly.
AI can help you turn a simple idea into a ready-to-send WhatsApp message. Here is a simple prompt anyone can try.
Step 1: Decide what you want to say
First, identify the purpose of your message. For example:
- Asking for leave
- Requesting information
- Apologising for missing a meeting
- Asking someone to call you
- Informing someone about a delay
- Requesting a document
- Thanking someone
- Cancelling an appointment
You don't need to write the complete message yourself.
Step 2: Open an AI chatbot
Open ChatGPT or another AI chatbot you use. Start a new conversation.
Step 3: Enter this prompt
Copy and paste: “Write a short, polite WhatsApp message about [purpose]. Use simple language. Keep it under 80 words and avoid sounding too formal.”
Now replace [purpose] with what you actually want to communicate.
For example: “Write a short, polite WhatsApp message about requesting leave from my office tomorrow. Use simple language. Keep it under 80 words and avoid sounding too formal.”
Step 4: Read the message AI creates
AI will generate a message based on your instruction. Read it carefully. Ask yourself:
Does it say what I actually want to say?
If something is missing, tell AI what to change.
For example: “Make it a little more friendly.”
Or:
“Mention that I will return to work on Monday.”
You can continue the conversation until the message sounds right.
Step 5: Make it sound like you
AI may sometimes make a message sound more polished than the way you normally speak. That is not always necessary for WhatsApp. If you want a natural message, you can ask:
You can also ask AI to make it:
- More friendly
- More respectful
- Shorter
- More professional
- More casual
- Easier to understand
Step 6: Check before sending
This step is important. Before copying the message into WhatsApp, check the name, date, time, place and other details. AI does not know your real situation unless you tell it. Make sure the final message contains the correct information.
Why this prompt is useful
The prompt gives AI three clear instructions:
Purpose: What the message is about.
Length: Keep it below 80 words.
Tone: Polite, simple and not too formal.
This helps you get a message that is more suitable for everyday WhatsApp communication.
Try it with different situations
The same prompt can be adapted for many everyday situations.
For example:
To a teacher: Requesting permission to be absent from class.
To a colleague: Informing them that you will be late.
To a customer: Politely explaining a delay.
To a friend: Cancelling a plan without sounding rude.
To an office: Requesting information about a document.
One small AI lesson
You don't have to ask AI to write everything from scratch. You can simply tell it the purpose, tone and length you want. The clearer your instructions, the easier it is to get a useful first draft.

Responsible Use of AI
AI is a tool to assist you, not replace your own judgement. AI-generated content may sometimes be inaccurate, incomplete or misunderstood. Always review and verify important information before acting on it. Do not share passwords, OTPs, bank details, Aadhaar numbers, confidential documents or other sensitive personal information with AI tools. For legal, financial, medical, government or other important matters, verify information with the relevant official or qualified source.
Use AI responsibly, protect your privacy and think before you act.
