Draft emails in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail

Pick a tone, dictate the body in 30 seconds, paste, send. The Professional style handles greetings and sign-offs.

Setup

  • Style: Professional or Correct (Professional adds structure, Correct keeps your phrasing).
  • Tone: friendly for clients, formal for legal, neutral for the rest.
  • Hotkey mode: hold for short replies, toggle for long emails.

The recipe

  1. Open Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. Click into the body of a new email.
  2. Press the hotkey. Start with the recipient (the LLM uses it for greetings): "Hi Sarah, thanks for the proposal yesterday."
  3. Talk through your message. Don't worry about punctuation, the LLM adds it.
  4. Release. The pasted text is structured: greeting, body, closing, sign-off.
