Auto-draft
Replies ready before you even open the email. Auto-draft creates draft responses for emails that need a reply, written in your voice using context from past conversations. You review, tweak if needed, and send — cutting your email time without losing the personal touch.
How it works
- An email arrives that looks like it needs a reply
- Your assistant gathers context — past emails with this person, your calendar, connected apps
- It writes a draft reply in your voice
- The draft waits for you to review, edit, and send
Drafts are never sent automatically. You’re always in control.
Configuration
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Writing style | Match the sender’s tone, or always use your own voice |
| Only draft for specific emails | Optionally limit drafts to certain types of emails |
| Email filter | Describe which emails should get drafts (when filter is enabled) |
Writing styles
Mirror sender’s tone — If they write casually, the draft is casual. If they’re formal, the draft is formal.
Always use my voice — Your assistant learns how you write from your past emails and profile, then applies that style regardless of how the sender writes.
Filtering
By default, Auto-draft creates drafts for any email that needs a reply. If you want to focus on specific types, enable the filter and describe what you want:
- “Sales inquiries and partnership requests”
- “Recruiting and candidate emails”
- “Customer support questions”
Only emails matching your description will get drafts.
What gets a draft
Your assistant creates drafts for emails that:
- Are sent directly to you (To or CC field)
- Come from a real person (not automated addresses)
- Expect or would benefit from a response
Examples of draft-worthy emails:
- Questions directed at you
- Meeting or scheduling requests
- Action items or tasks assigned to you
- Requests for information or decisions
- Follow-ups on previous conversations
Emails that don’t get drafts:
- Newsletters and marketing emails
- Automated notifications (receipts, shipping updates)
- Emails where you’re BCC’d
- Announcements that don’t need a reply
When your assistant needs your input
Sometimes information is missing. Your assistant uses placeholders to flag what you need to fill in:
[YOUR PREFERENCE: what time works best?]
[CONFIRM: is this the correct date?]
[ADD: project details here]
[DECISION NEEDED: option A or B?]These make it clear where you need to add something before sending.
Drafts are just suggestions. Edit them freely, delete parts you don’t like, or discard them entirely. They’re a starting point, not a final answer.
Context your assistant uses
To write better drafts, your assistant pulls from:
- The full email thread
- Past emails with this sender
- Your sent emails (to learn your style)
- Your calendar (if scheduling is mentioned)
- Google Drive or Notion (if connected and relevant)
