Claude tips and tricks · Next step · 10 minutes
Teach it your voice with three old emails
The job: Get drafts that sound like you, not like a robot
Claude can match how you write if you show it. Three emails you've actually sent are enough to pick up your greeting, your length and your favorite phrases.
How
- Pick three emails you sent that sound like you at your best.
- Remove anything private.
- Paste them with the prompt below, then ask for your next draft.
The prompt to copy
Here are three emails I wrote: [paste]. Describe my writing style in five short bullet points: length, tone, greeting and sign-off, words I use, words I avoid. From now on in this chat, write in that style.
What a good answer looks like
Five bullets that make you nod, and a draft you'd send with one or two changes.
The mistake to avoid
Using your stiffest emails as samples. Pick the ones customers liked.
Works the same in ChatGPT and Copilot. The next tip saves it so you don't paste them every time.
