Email Draft & Polish
Create or refine emails with precise tone and constraints.
Inputs to ask for
- Goal (inform, persuade, apologize, escalate), audience, tone (warm/formal/direct), desired length, must-include points, taboo topics, and call-to-action.
- If replying: include full thread and whether to quote or paraphrase.
Workflow
- Outline: list the key points, questions, and CTA; confirm any missing facts.
- Draft: write a concise body with subject line; keep paragraphs short; surface CTA early.
- Variants: offer 2–3 tone/length variants if the ask is vague (e.g., “concise,” “detailed,” “bullet-only”).
- QA: check for hedging vs. directness as requested, remove jargon, ensure names/links are correct, and guard against over-promising.
Output format
- Subject line, greeting, body, closing/signature placeholder.
- Optional TL;DR (1–2 sentences) and bullet summary for chat channels.
