Episode notes
Context Drives Email Accuracy
- Lack of context causes AI to guess your relationship and purpose, often guessing wrong.
- Provide clear background about the recipient, prior conversations, and organisational roles to avoid bad outputs.
Brief Your AI Like A New EA
- Treat AI like a brand-new executive assistant by briefing it before asking to write an email.
- Give project history, relationship context and your writing preferences before requesting the draft.
Create A Voice And Style Guide
- Generate a voice and style guide by having AI analyse your past emails to capture tone, sentence length and personality.
- Use that style document with your briefing so replies consistently sound like you.
