Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. 1

    Paste the email you received

    Copy the full email text and include what your response should accomplish.

    πŸ’¬ Prompt to use:
    Here is an email I received. Write a reply that:
    1. Matches the sender's tone
    2. Confirms I can attend the Thursday 2pm meeting
    3. Asks if the agenda will be shared in advance
    
    Email:
    [paste email here]
  2. 2

    Check the tone match

    If the original was casual and the reply is stiff, ask: "Make it more casual β€” similar to how they wrote." If too casual, reverse it.

  3. 3

    Add your specifics

    Fill in any placeholders: meeting room, your availability caveat, specific questions.

  4. 4

    Review before sending

    Read it once. Confirm the subject line is appropriate. Send.

    πŸ’‘ Pro tip: For recurring email types (weekly check-ins, project updates), save your best prompt as a template.
