Match your email style to the recipient

Your writing may be formal with a client and more relaxed with a friend. A voice skill saves instructions drawn from your own writing, such as how you greet someone, phrase a request, or close a message. When different recipients call for different instructions, a router skill helps the assistant choose the appropriate voice skill. Your emails provide the examples, and you decide which writing habits to preserve.

Sent emails show how you write to particular people. Messages to clients or coworkers and to friends or family provide a useful starting comparison. The assistant first proposes examples for you to review. You choose which messages represent writing you want to reuse and are comfortable quoting. Those approved examples will support the voice rules in the next step.
