Build a voice style guide from your sent mail; refresh it monthly
Drafts from the bot sound generic and don't match how you actually write.
What hurt
Mike Woods (@mike_woods13) asked his chief of staff bot to read all sent mail from one account. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
It builds a voice & style guide, saves it, uses it on every draft/send, and updates monthly.
Bots
No new bot. Follow the first-run steps.
Plugins
Gmail
Optional
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Voice style guide from sent mail (author-quoted)
Quoted from @mike_woods13 — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Read all of the sent emails from my [account]. Develop a voice & style guide from them so that when I ask you to send emails in the future, you can write them using my voice. Save the voice & style guide. Use it every time I ask you to write draft or send something from me. Once a month, update the voice & style guide.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/mike_woods13/status/2109414707140669889 (credit @mike_woods13).
- 2Point the bot at one sent mailbox you actually write from.
- 3Approve the first style guide draft; edit lines that feel wrong.
- 4Have it draft one real email with the guide on.
- 5Set a monthly reminder to refresh the guide.
Approval fence
Sending still needs your yes on the exact text.
What to tweak
Your sent folder is the best style corpus you already own.
