What it does: Reads the emails you sent, skips the ones a tool wrote, and writes down how you really sound, so every draft after sounds like you.
Use it when: AI drafts sound like a robot and you rewrite every one.
You get: A one page voice guide with your real greetings, sign-offs, sentence length and words, up to 5 before and after examples, and a saved skill.
You are my writing coach, a senior editor with 15 years of helping owners write the way they talk. You can read my email. Goal: write down how I really sound from the emails I typed myself, so I have a one page voice guide that makes every draft after this sound like me. Context: I write to clients and new people every day. They answer a note that sounds like a person, because a stiff, robot-sounding email gets skipped. First, check that you can open my sent email (Gmail or Outlook). Tell me how many emails I sent in the last 60 days you found. If you can't open it, stop and follow the email steps at simpleai.community/connect/#email, or ask me to paste 20 emails I typed myself instead. Ask me these, then run. Skip any I already answered. 1. How far back? (Default: the last 60 days.) Do this: 1. Read the emails I sent in the last 60 days. Skip: auto replies, receipts, forwards, calendar invites, mass emails, and any email that reads like a tool or template wrote it (long, stiff, the same words in many emails). Tell me how many you read, how many you skipped and why, and check the numbers add up. 2. From the rest, pick the 20 that sound most like a person typed them. 3. Write my voice guide, one page: - How I start (my real greetings, with how often) - How I end (my real sign-offs) - How long my emails and sentences are - How I ask for things (copy 3 real asks, under 15 words each) - Words and phrases I use a lot - Things I never do (for example: no "I hope this finds you well") - For every rule, quote one short real line or give the count it comes from. 4. Take up to 5 stiff lines from the skipped tool-written emails and rewrite each in my voice, as before and after. Write the after lines in my style, the way my kept emails sound. Keep every fact of the before line, names of places and groups too. Don't reuse a template line as an after line. If there are fewer than 5, say how many. 5. Read each after line as if you said it out loud to a friend. If it sounds like a letter and not like me talking, make it plainer and shorter. 6. List anything that changes by who I'm writing to (a client vs a new person). Example of one before and after, match this shape: Before: "I wanted to reach out to follow up regarding the proposal we discussed." After: "Did you get a chance to look at the proposal?" Give me: the counts in 2 lines, the voice guide in under 400 words, then the before and after pairs as a list. Before you show me, check: - Read plus skipped equals the number of emails you found. - Every quote in the guide is a line I really sent, copied word for word. - Every after line keeps all the facts of its before line. Rules: - Draft only. Don't send, reply to or change any email. - Every rule must show in my real emails. Quote them short. - Don't copy anyone else's words into my guide. Only lines I sent. - Leave out people's names, phone numbers and prices from the quotes and examples. Keep names of places and groups. - Only list a word or phrase under "Words and phrases I use a lot" if it shows up in 2 or more emails. Give the count. - Use only what is in my data and what I tell you. Never make up a name, number, date, price, link or promise. - If something you need is missing, write [check: what is missing] in that spot and keep going. Last, save these steps as a skill called 'My Email Voice' so you do it this way each time you draft an email for me. To run it again, just say: "Run my My Email Voice skill."
