Let’s write an email!
Type a few lines about what you need to say, or paste your notes. Replying to someone? Open Details above and paste their email.
Email Writer is the part of this AI writing assistant built for one job: turning a line of context into a finished message. You say what has to happen — confirm a date, chase a quote, apologise properly — and the email writer returns a subject line, an opening, a body and a sign-off already in position. Email is the thing people ask an AI assistant for writing to do most often, and the thing a general chatbot handles worst, because a chatbot gives you prose and an email needs a shape.
Three steps, and the third one is the one that matters.
Most people arrive at an AI email generator with a sentence, not a specification — “tell the supplier the invoice is wrong and we need it reissued” is enough. Names, dates, prices and links carry through exactly as you typed them.
Sixteen purposes cover the emails people actually send. Eight tones set the register, from concise to formal. Three lengths decide whether the answer is three lines or three paragraphs.
You get a subject line with two alternatives and a body you can edit in place. Six one-tap refinements make it shorter, warmer or more direct without rewriting the brief.
A subject line, a greeting, the ask, a sign-off. A general chatbot hands you prose and leaves you to cut it into an email.
Paste the message you received and the reply works through its points in order, instead of writing around them.
Formal for an admissions office, concise for a colleague. Change your mind after the draft and it re-registers in one tap.
Sixty-four languages across seventy-three regional variants, or it detects the one your brief was written in.
The purpose, tone and length stay set between emails, so the tenth message of the morning takes as long as the first did to send.
Subject and body are both editable in the page, with a live word count and reading time under them.
You write the situation. The email writer returns a subject line and a body, with every fact from your brief still in place.
Paste the email you received. The reply works through its questions in order instead of writing around them.
The hardest email to get right is the second one. Here is a sales follow up email sample the tool produced from a brief that said little more than “quote sent Tuesday, no reply”.
Follow up on the quote I sent Tuesday for the 5,000 kraft mailers. No reply yet. Their launch is 12 September so the timing is tight. Offer to jump on a 10-minute call. Do not sound pushy.
Hi Rachel,
Just wanted to touch base about the quote I sent on Tuesday for the 5,000 kraft mailers. I know your launch is set for 12 September, so I understand the timing is tight. If it helps, I’m happy to hop on a quick 10‑minute call to go over any questions or details.
Let me know if you’d like to schedule a time that works for you, or feel free to reply with any thoughts you have.
Thanks, Sam Ellery
Note what it did not do: no “just circling back”, no second apology, no guilt. A follow-up works when it gives the other person a cheap way to respond — here, a ten-minute call — and stops.
Formality is not longer words. It is a full salutation, one sentence saying why you are writing, and no throat-clearing before the ask.
Ask the admissions office to confirm whether my transcript, sent by post on 3 August, has been received, and whether anything else is outstanding before the 30 September deadline. Formal.
Hi Dr Helena Marsh, Admissions Office,
Could you let me know if the transcript I mailed on 3 August has arrived? I’d also appreciate a quick heads‑up on any other documents you might still need from me before the 30 September deadline.
Thanks for checking on this. I want to make sure everything’s in order well before the deadline.
Best regards, Sam Ellery
And here is the honest part: the greeting came back as “Hi Dr Helena Marsh, Admissions Office”, because that is exactly what was typed into the recipient field. A formal email wants “Dear Dr Marsh”. That is a two-second fix, and it is the sort of line worth reading for before you send anything a tool wrote.
The purpose changes the shape of the email, not just its wording. A request opens differently from an apology, and a follow-up is not a reminder.
Any everyday email that does not fit a pattern.
Answer a message you were sent, point by point.
Ask for something clearly enough to get a yes or a no.
Chase a quote, a decision or an unanswered message.
A nudge about a date or a task, without nagging.
Say thank you in a way that names what they did.
Own a mistake and say what happens next.
Reach someone who has never heard from you.
Propose, confirm or move a time.
Invite people and tell them what to expect.
Share news with a group in one pass.
Help someone with a problem and close the loop.
Raise a problem firmly and fairly.
Give feedback that can be acted on.
Apply for a role without repeating your CV.
Resign in a way you can stand behind later.
Every other tool in this category sends you to a separate page for this. It belongs next to the email.
The tool returns three subject lines for this reason — one in place and two alternatives — because the right one depends on the inbox it lands in, and you know that better than a model does.
Most of what makes an email land is restraint. These are the rules the draft is written to, and the ones worth checking before you send.
Keep the part you are answering and cut the rest. A reply dragging twelve messages behind it makes the reader scroll to find out whether anything changed.
If they asked three things, answer the first thing first. Re-ordering their questions to suit your answer reads as evasion even when it is not.
Someone who wrote “Hi Sam” does not want “Dear Mr Ellery” back, and three formal paragraphs deserve more than a one-line reply.
Ask whether every name on the thread needs the answer. If two of them do, move those two to a new message rather than making nine people read it.
A refusal buried under two paragraphs of warm-up is read as a yes until the reader hits it. Lead with the answer, then explain.
A generated reply will happily be firm on your behalf, which is exactly why it is worth rereading an hour later. The tool has no stake in the relationship. You do.
Set them before you write, or change your mind afterwards.

Research on AI-written email is not flattering: people told a message was AI-drafted tend to rate the sender as less trustworthy. That is a good argument for using this on the twelve routine emails a day and writing the thirteenth yourself.
Clear the twelve routine messages so there is time for the one that matters.
Write to a lecturer, a landlord or an admissions office without agonising over the wording.
Send the message you have been putting off — a complaint, a refund, a difficult thank-you.
A tool that turns a short description of a situation into a complete email. Unlike a general chatbot, an email AI writer returns the parts an email actually needs — a subject line, a greeting, the ask and a sign-off — already in position, with controls for purpose, tone and length.
Yes. You can write emails without an account, within a per-email word allowance shown next to the composer. Signing in raises it, and Pro removes the guest limits and the ads. The pricing page lists exactly what each plan includes.
Yes. It works straight away, and your drafts are saved in your own browser so you can come back to them. An account raises the limits and lets your drafts follow you between devices.
Tell it the outcome you want rather than the words you would use. “Get them to confirm Friday without sounding pushy” produces a better draft than a list of adjectives. Include the facts that must appear — dates, amounts, names — and leave the phrasing to the tool.
Yes. Choose the Reply purpose and paste the message into the details panel. The draft answers the sender’s points in the order they asked them rather than writing around them.
A chatbot hands you prose in a chat window. A dedicated email AI writer hands you a subject line with alternatives, an editable body, a live word count, and one-tap changes like “more direct” or “shorter” — and it keeps the purpose, tone and length you set instead of you retyping them each time.
Use a full salutation, say why you are writing in the first sentence, put the request in its own line, and close with a conventional sign-off. Formality is structure, not longer words. Choose the Formal tone and the draft follows that shape — then check the greeting, which is the line most worth fixing by hand.
Say what the email is about rather than hinting at it, put the identifying words in the first 35 to 40 characters because phones cut it there, and leave the subject alone when you are replying inside an existing thread. The tool shows a live character count and offers two alternatives.
Follow-up handles chasing a quote or a decision, and Introduction / outreach handles a first approach. Both work best when the brief says what the other person gets out of replying. Sending the same generated email to hundreds of people is a different activity, and not one this tool is built for.
Spam filters score sending reputation, links and formatting far more heavily than phrasing, so an ordinary one-to-one email is not at risk. Mass identical outreach is a different matter, which is a good reason not to send one generated email to five hundred addresses.
It depends on the email. For routine factual messages nobody minds and nobody notices. For anything where the point is personal effort — condolences, a real apology, thanking someone properly — studies suggest recipients who learn a message was AI-written trust the sender less. Use it for the routine ones.
Yes, in 64 languages across 73 regional variants, or let it detect the language of your brief. Bear in mind that formality works differently in different languages — a German business email expects the formal register, and a literal translation of a casual English opening can read as rude.
Closer than a general chatbot, because tone, length and purpose are set explicitly — but not exactly. The draft is meant to be edited, and changing two or three words is usually the difference between an email that sounds like a template and one that sounds like you.
The brief and any pasted email are sent in order to write the draft, and are not stored as text afterwards. Drafts are kept in your own browser. See the privacy policy for the detail.
Every tool here runs on the same AI powered writing assistant, so the tone you choose for an email behaves the same way in the paraphraser or the summarizer. One plan covers all of them, including the ones we have not built yet.
