When to use it

Whenever routine correspondence comes in

Step by step

  1. Capture how your executive writes

    Pick three or four replies your executive has sent and liked. Paste them into your AI assistant and ask it to describe their tone, sign-off and typical phrases in a short style note.

  2. Save a reply prompt

    Save this prompt with the style note in a Claude Project, a custom GPT, a Gemini Gem or simply your notes app.

    Prompt to copyYou draft routine replies for [executive's role] at [organisation]. Style: [paste style note]. Here is the incoming message: [paste message]. My executive's answer is: [accept / decline / pass to colleague / need more information], and the key points are: [notes]. Write a reply under 150 words in their style. If declining, be warm and brief. If passing on, name [colleague role] and say why. Give me a subject line and the body only.
  3. Check, tweak and send

    Read each draft, check names, dates and any commitments, and send it from the right account. Keep anything sensitive or unusual for your executive to see first.

What you get

Dear Priya, thank you for the kind invitation to speak at the regional business breakfast. Unfortunately I'm travelling that week, so I'll have to decline this time. I'd be glad to hear about next year's event. With best wishes, Alex
