Email drafting

What you can ask

Describe the email you need and Deputy writes it. You don't need to have the words — just the intent.

• →"Write a cold outreach email to a boutique consulting firm. I want to introduce my data analytics services."
• →"Draft a follow-up to someone I pitched last week who hasn't responded."
• →"Write a reply to this email — [paste email]. I want to say yes to the meeting but push it to next week."
• →"Draft a proposal email for a new client. Project is a 6-week website redesign, budget is around $8k."
• →"Write a check-in email to a client I haven't spoken to in two months."

Tone and style

Deputy adjusts its writing style based on what you tell it. You can give instructions in the moment ("make it more formal") or set a default style that it will remember for future emails through persistent memory.

Common tone instructions that work well:

• →"Always write in a direct, no-fluff tone."
• →"Keep emails short — three paragraphs max."
• →"Write like a human, not a marketer."
• →"My clients are formal — always use professional language."
• →"I hate exclamation points. Never use them."

Iterating on a draft

Once Deputy gives you a draft, you can refine it by replying with feedback. There's no need to start over — just say what needs to change.

• →"Make it shorter."
• →"The opening is too stiff — make it warmer."
• →"Add a specific ask at the end — I want a 20-minute call this week."
• →"Change the subject line to something more direct."

• →Lead follow-up — automate a series of follow-up emails to contacts. Deputy drafts each one in your voice. Learn more
• →Scheduled tasks — set up a recurring draft (e.g., a monthly newsletter draft sent to you every first Monday). Learn more
