Can AI help me ask for a raise?
Half. AI builds a strong written case from your results. Knowing what the role pays in your area takes real salary data from you.
01Why half-bot
- It turns your wins into a clear, confident case.
- It can suggest how to answer common pushback.
- It doesn't know current pay in your area. Invented salary numbers weaken your case.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
Help me prepare a written request for a raise. Confident, specific, not pushy. My role and time in role: [ROLE, TIME] My results in the last 12 months (with numbers if I have them): [LIST] New responsibilities I've taken on: [LIST] Salary data I found (source + range): [DATA OR "none yet"] The raise I want: [AMOUNT OR %] Write: 1. A short email to my manager (under 200 words). 2. Three likely objections and a one-sentence reply to each. Rules: NEVER invent market salary figures. If I gave none, tell me where to look instead.
03Steps
- Gather your results and real salary data first.
- Send the email or bring it to your review.
- Get any agreed raise confirmed in writing.
04What can go wrong
- Made-up market numbers can backfire. Use sources you can name.
05What to use
Any major AI chat app: ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. The free tier works.
