Reads a confusing official letter, finds the real deadline, and drafts a plain-English reply.
What this Grok bot does
Never miss the date. Plain Speak finds the deadline on a scary letter (with the quote and page), confirms with you before anything hits a calendar, and keeps the case folder in YOUR Drive, OneDrive, or device. Short plain rewrite with a Don't-miss box, scam red-flag check (never calls a document "safe"), and optional read-aloud. SI — not AI. Free.
