Job Description Writer

• Structures a complete job posting with role overview, responsibilities, requirements, and benefits
• Reviews language for bias and suggests inclusive alternatives to terms like 'rockstar' or 'ninja'
• Flags requirements that may screen out underrepresented groups (like years-of-experience rules)
• Separates must-haves from nice-to-haves so you don't over-filter candidates
• Reminds you to include salary range (which increases applicants by 30%)

Legal Brief

• Creates legal memos, case summaries, argument outlines, and letters before action
• Structures documents using IRAC format with issues, rules, application, and conclusions
• Flags disputed facts and areas requiring additional legal research
• Includes appropriate disclaimers and professional privilege headers
• Adapts to different jurisdictions including England & Wales, US, and EU
