Understanding Profiles
What are profiles?
Profiles are pre-configured sets of preferences that control how Aeralis writes emails for you. Each profile has its own writing style, grounding tools, and context — think of them as different voices for different situations.
Why use profiles?
Without profiles, you'd adjust settings every time you generate an email. Profiles remember your:
- Writing style - Learned from emails you forward to the profile's inbound address
- Grounding tools - Context URLs, Google Search, Knowledge
- Location settings - For location-aware emails
How profiles work
Every profile starts from a template. Aeralis has 8 templates covering common email contexts: Customer Support, Customer Success, Sales Outreach, Executive, Recruiting, Account Management, Internal Comms, and Personal.
After you pick a template, the profile needs your writing style. You forward at least 3 emails you've written to the profile's unique inbound address, and Aeralis analyzes them — your greetings, sign-offs, sentence length, formality, word choices. That analysis becomes the profile's style description, which you can edit or re-run anytime.
