Understanding Profiles

3 min read·Updated April 10, 2026

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.

Example use cases

What's in a profile

Each profile contains:

  • Name, icon, description - So you can quickly identify it
  • Writing style description - Generated from your forwarded emails, editable
  • Grounding tools - Context URLs, Google Search, Google Maps, Knowledge
  • Usage stats - How often you've used this profile

Grounding tools

Add external knowledge to your emails:

  • Context URLs - Reference specific websites or documentation
  • Google Search - Include up-to-date information
  • Google Maps - Add location-aware context
  • Knowledge - Reference your uploaded documents
