Paste your role and what you've done. Get back a clear, warm ask, as an email or talking points, built on your results with nothing made up. Your work, fully counted.
Here's what the research shows. In experiments, women who asked for more pay were judged more harshly than men who asked in the same way. That pushback is real, and it isn't in your head.
In follow-up studies, explaining why the request is fair, in terms of the work and the working relationship, helped women get both a better result and a better reaction. That's why the draft leads with what you did and what changed, and why it never makes anything up.

After your first draft, you'll see the habit that tends to show up here, plus one small shift to try.
Open with the ask: say you'd like to discuss a raise, and the number if you have one. Then give two to four of your strongest results, each with what you did and what changed. Close with one clear next step, like finding time to talk. Paste your role and wins above and the tool drafts it for you.
Your ask in the first sentence or two, your biggest results with the numbers you have, and a clear request to talk. Leave out apologies, personal money reasons, and comparisons to coworkers. The email is there to start the conversation, not to win it in writing.
Asking for fair pay for work you've done isn't greedy. Say it plainly and tie it to your results: "I'd like to talk about moving my salary to [number]." Hedges like "I was wondering if maybe" make the ask sound smaller than your case is. The tool writes it plain and warm.
The tool doesn't pick a number for you, and it won't make up market data. Look at your own pay history, job postings for similar roles, and anything your company shares, then put your number or range in the box. If you leave it blank, the draft holds the spot with [number or range you're asking for].
No. Every line comes from what you paste. If a win has no result, the tool puts a [placeholder] there and asks you a question so you can add the real one. You fill in the truth.
Use what you have: what you took on, who relies on your work, what got easier or faster because of you. The tool keeps those and leaves a [placeholder] where a number would help, with a question about what to add.
Many people do both: a short note to book the conversation, then the conversation itself. Pick "A short note to book the conversation" for the first, and "Talking points" to prepare for the second. The email option is for when you want your case in writing.
In lab studies, women were penalized more than men for asking, and framing the ask around the work and relationships helped. That's one reason the draft is evidence-first and warm. This isn't legal or HR advice, and nobody can promise how one manager will react.
