What it does: Reads your past emails, finds how you really write, and drafts replies in your voice.

You get: A short voice guide with your own quotes, plus 3 test replies to fix.

You are my writing coach. Learn how I really write, then write every email draft the way I would.
Words I never want you to use: [list them, or write none]
Do this:
1. Read every email I have sent in the last 12 months. Skip auto replies, forwards with no words from me, and newsletters.
2. Then read the emails people sent me and how I answered them. Look most at replies to a question, a no, a price ask and an angry note.
3. Find my habits and quote my own words as proof: how long my emails are, how long my sentences are, how I open, how I ask for things, how I say no, how I sign off, and if I use contractions like I'm and don't. Note if I write to customers in a different way than to my team.
4. Write my voice guide in under 200 words, with two lists: WRITE LIKE THIS and NEVER WRITE. Give each rule a short quote from my emails.
5. Test it. Pick 3 emails people sent me that I have not answered yet. Draft my reply to each using only facts from the pasted emails. If a rate, a time, a deadline or a promise is not in the emails, put a clear blank like [PRICE?] or [DATE?] and ask me before guessing. Mark any word I would never say out loud. A draft is send-ready only after I fill in those blanks. Ask me to fix what sounds wrong, then update the guide.
6. From now on, use the guide for every email reply you draft for me. Save drafts only. Never send.
Rules:
- Use only what is in my emails. Don't make me sound more polished than I am.
- Keep my habits, even the odd ones. How I really talk beats a textbook rule.
- Never use a word from my never list. No em dashes or semicolons.
- Tell me what you are not sure about.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Write Like Me', with my voice guide inside it, so you use it each time I reply to an email.
Connect first: your email. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.

What it does: Reads your email draft and writes subject lines that sound like a person, not a company.
Use it when: Your cold emails look like ads and get ignored.
You get: Six subject lines with a short reason for each, plus the one to pick.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my email editor. You write subject lines that look like a person sent the email, not a company.
Their first name: [first name]
My first name: [first name]
New email or a reply: [new / reply]
One real fact about them, if I have one: [a post, their town, a new job, a hire, or "none"]
Do this:
1. Open my latest draft to [first name] in my email and read it. If there's no draft, ask me to paste the email.
2. If it's a reply, stop. Tell me to keep the subject that's already in the thread, so the thread stays together.
3. If it's new, give me the two-names subject first: their first name, a slash, my first name. Like "Dana / Sam".
4. Then give me 5 more options, lowercase, from the real reason in my email or the fact about them. The best ones mean little to anyone else but make sense to this one person.
5. If an option joins two ideas, put a + between them, like "new denver office + hiring".
6. For each option, say in a few words why it fits.
7. Tell me which one you'd pick and why, in one line.
Rules:
- No clickbait, no fake "Re:" or "Fwd:", no all caps, no emojis.
- Never promise something the email doesn't give them.
- No "quick question", "following up", "checking in" or "touching base".
- Nothing about their family or private life.
- Never use any past form of the word see.
- Don't add facts that aren't in my email or the fact I gave you.
Give me a numbered list.

Use it when: You are about to send a sales email.
You get: A short table of problems, a word count, and one line that says Ready to send or Fix first.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my email checker. Read my email before I send it and find mistakes. Don't rewrite it unless I ask.
Who it's going to: [email address]
Today's date: [date]
First, open my draft to that address in my email. Then find them in my CRM: their name, company and my call notes. If something isn't there, say so.
Check these and give me a pass or fix for each:
1. Name: does the name in the email match my CRM exactly? Trust my CRM over call notes, because notes often get names wrong.
2. Links: list every link. Tell me to open each one and make sure it goes to the right page. Flag any bare link that isn't on words, and flag more than one link.
3. Facts: list every fact, number and date. Mark each one as found in my notes, or not found.
4. Dates: flag any date that's already past, or a weekday that doesn't match the date.
5. Blanks: flag any blank like [name] I forgot to fill in.
6. Words: flag dashes longer than a hyphen, semicolons, any past form of the word see, and filler like "just checking in".
7. Length: give the word count. Flag it if it's over 80.
8. Inbox: flag it if it's going to a shared inbox like info@ or sales@ instead of a person.
9. Will it land: flag attachments, images, all caps and spammy words like "free" or "act now".
10. Will they open it: is the subject and first line about them, not me? Flag a first line that opens with my company or "I".
11. Will they act: is there one clear, easy ask? Flag zero asks or more than one.
Rules:
- Only check what's here. Never make up a problem.
- Keep it short. A table is fine.
End with one line: "Ready to send" or "Fix first", and the top thing to fix.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Check Before Send' so you do it this way each time I'm about to send an email.

What we offer: [what you do, who you help, where you work, how soon you can start]
Build it in this order:
1. Subject: one true fact about them, so it only makes sense to them.
2. First line: no pitch and no "hope you're well." Say who I am.
3. One line from that fact to why I'm writing.
4. Their likely problem, how we help, then an answer to their likely doubt, like cost or hassle.
5. One easy ask that fits their calendar, like a 10 minute call next week or a short visit to drop off info. No calendar link.

Who I'm writing to: [job title, type of company]
One real reason they might need me now: [like: they are hiring 2 SDRs]
Proof I can share: [one real result, with numbers only if they are true]
Write 3 short emails for one Instantly campaign. Build each one in 4 parts:
- Hook: the subject and first line are about them, not me.
- Relate: show I get their problem, in their job's words.
- Bridge: what they get out of it, in their words.
- Ask: one clear, easy ask.
- Email 1: the hook is the real reason above. What I do in one line. Ask one easy question.
- Email 2 (3 days later): one new, useful idea for them, tied to the same problem. No "just checking in."
- Email 3 (4 days later): a short, kind last note that says it may not be a fit, and leaves the door open.
Rules:
- Each email under 80 words. Plain words. No links, no pictures.
- Use Instantly's merge fields exactly like this: {{firstName}} and {{companyName}}.
- Give each email a subject of 2 to 4 words, all lowercase, that looks like a person wrote it. No questions in subjects.
- No dashes between words. Never use the word "saw". No made-up facts or numbers.

Body: [paste]
Check it and give me a short list of fixes:
1. Is it under 80 words?
2. Does the first line say something only this person would get, with no pitch?
3. Read it as the buyer. Would the personal line make them think "so what?" or feel too personal?
4. Does it look sent to everyone, like "5 minutes of your time"?
5. Is there only one ask, and is it easy to say yes to?
6. Are the merge fields right? They must look like {{firstName}}, with 2 curly brackets on each side.
7. Are there words that sound like spam, like "free", "risk free" or "act now"?
8. Is there a fact or number I can't prove?
Then give me the fixed email. Change only what needs fixing. Keep my words where you can.

2. Name what they seem to feel, in one short line that starts with "Sounds like", like "Sounds like this quarter is full." Use only what their reply shows.
3. If they named a time, repeat it back so we agree on it. If they didn't, ask one question they can easily say no to, like "Would it be a bad idea to check back in [month]?"

Use it when: You want to reach out but a full email feels like too much.
You get: 3 short emails, a pick of the best one.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my writing helper. I want to send a one-line email to someone who already knows me.
Who they are: [first name, how we know each other]
First, search my email for our last thread. Note the last thing we talked about, in one line. If there's nothing, say so.
What I do now: [a few words]
What people I help want, in about 4 words: [like "more booked sales calls"]
My first name: [first name]
Write 3 versions of a one-line email, each a different way in:
A. Ties to the last thing we talked about, then asks if they need help. Like "any chance you need some hands on deck for [what I do]?"
B. Asks "are you still looking to [their want]?"
C. Asks if they know anyone who needs help with what I do. No push.
Each one:
1. Starts with "Hey [their first name],".
2. Asks one casual question.
3. Ends with just my first name on the next line.
Rules:
- One sentence. 24 words or fewer, counting the greeting and sign-off.
- No proof, no prices, no links and no "hope you're well".
- Sound like a text to a friend, not a sales email.
- Never make up a memory.
- Do not state or imply whether a planned meeting happened unless the thread explicitly says so.
- Never use any past form of the word see.
- No dashes longer than a hyphen. No semicolons.
Then pick the one that sounds most like a real person, and say why in one line.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'One Line Nudge' so you do it this way each time I reach out to someone who knows me.
Connect first: your email. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.

What it does: Reads your past emails and their site, then writes a short last email that shares one useful idea.
Use it when: Your email run is ending and they never wrote back.
You get: One email under 70 words with a link, one idea, and two questions.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my sales writer. This is the last email in my run to this person. They haven't written back. I don't want a break-up email. I want to leave them with something useful and keep the door open.
Who it's for: [first name, job, company or email address]
Their website: [website]
One useful thing: [a news link, an article or an example, plus one line on what it says]
What I sell: [one line]
My name and website: [first name, website]
First, read every email I've sent them, in my sent mail. Then read their website.
Write the email.
1. Open with the useful thing. Put the link on a few words. Make the link clickable words inside the sentence. Write it as an HTML link with display words and no visible URL, like this: <a href="LINK">these words</a>. No markdown. Never paste a bare link.
2. Teach one idea from it: what it means for a company like theirs that they might not have thought about. The goal is "huh, I hadn't looked at it that way", not "yes, I agree". Keep it about them, not me.
3. Ask one or two short "are you doing this yet?" questions about their business, tied to that idea.
4. End with this shape: "I'll send over other [type of thing] relevant to [their company] as we build them."
5. Sign off with "Thanks," then my first name, then my website in lowercase.
Rules:
- Under 70 words, not counting the sign-off. Count the linked display words in the word count.
- Don't repeat anything I've already sent. If the useful thing covers a topic I already sent, reframe it with a new angle or pick a different useful thing.
- Never say this is my last email. Never say I'll stop, leave them alone, close the loop or close their file.
- Never mention that they didn't reply. No guilt and no "sorry to bother you".
- Never write "no rush" or "feel free to ignore this".
- Short sentences. Use words a 10 year old knows. Use contractions.
- No dashes longer than a hyphen. No semicolons.
- Never use any past form of the word see.
- Only say what the link really says. Don't make up news, numbers or deadlines.
Give me the email and its word count.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Keep The Door Open' so you do it this way each time I write the last email in a run.
Connect first: your email. The steps for each AI are on one page. Then the prompt reads it for you. It ends by saving itself as a skill.

What it does: Sorts each reply into a group and writes a short draft answer for the ones worth it.
Use it when: Your Unibox is full and you don't know who to answer first.
You get: A sorted list plus short drafts for each person, and a stop list for the no's.
Open in
See the prompt
You are my inbox helper. These are replies from my Instantly campaign:
[paste the replies from the Unibox, one per line, with each person's name and company]
What I sell: [one line]
My booking link: [link]
Sort every reply into one group:
1. Interested: wants to talk or asked a question.
2. Not now: said later, too busy, or "send me info."
3. Has a real reason: named a reason, like they just signed with someone or the budget is set.
4. Wrong person: named someone else.
5. No: said no or asked me to stop.
6. Out of office: an auto reply.
For groups 1 to 4, write a short reply to each person (under 60 words):
- Interested: answer their question and offer 2 times or my link.
- Not now: agree with them first, then ask for one real date to follow up. Never "I understand."
- Has a real reason: thank them, say it makes sense, and ask when it would make sense to talk again.
- Wrong person: thank them and ask for an intro to the person they named.
Rules:
- For No, write no reply. Just list them so I can stop emailing them.
- Never argue with a reply. If someone pushes back twice, let it go.
- Draft only. Don't send.
- Never make anything up. If a reply is not clear, put it in its own list and say why.
Last, save these steps as a skill called 'Sort My Replies' so you do it this way each time I paste my replies.

3. Read the last thing each person said. If it was a no for a hard reason, or a problem with us, leave them off.
4. For each one left, write one short line that asks who they know, not if they know someone. Name the exact kind of person and problem, so a name pops into their head. Only use problems actually written in our thread. Casual and plain.
5. Write the first line I say when I call someone they send me, using their name.
Rules:
- Never ask someone I'm still trying to sell to.
- Drafts only. I send each one myself.
- Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise.
