Writing Style

What is Writing Style?

Writing Style lets Aeralis learn how you actually write emails — your phrasing, sign-offs, formality, and rhythm — so generated drafts sound like you, not a robot.

There are two pieces:

1. A short, user-typed hint in your profile's "How you write" field. Things you'd tell a new assistant on day one: "Short and direct. Casual sign-offs. No 'I hope this finds you well.'"
2. Passive learning from your inbox. When you view a thread you've replied to with Aeralis open, Aeralis quietly captures your prior messages as examples. Over time it builds a picture of your voice. No forwarding, no manual training, no settings.

The "How you write" hint is optional — Aeralis works without it. But a one-line description tends to lock in tone faster than learning alone.

Editing your writing style hint

From the web dashboard

1. Go to aeralis.ai/profiles
2. Click Edit on the profile you want to update
3. Find the Writing Style card
4. Type a short description in the How you write (optional) textarea
5. Click Save Changes

From the Gmail add-on

1. Open Gmail and click the Aeralis icon
2. Go to Manage Profiles
3. Tap Edit on the profile you want to update
4. Edit the How you write (optional) field
5. Tap Save

What makes a good "How you write" hint

Good:

• "Short and direct. Casual sign-offs. Skip greetings on quick replies."
• "Formal and structured. Always 'Dear X,' opening. Detailed bullet points for requests."
• "Friendly but professional. British English. End with 'Best,' or 'Cheers,'."

Less useful:

• "Write like a CEO." — too vague, no observable signals
• "Never use the word X." — strict rules tend to overfit and produce robotic output
• Multi-paragraph essays — Aeralis treats the hint as advisory; a few specific observations beat a long instruction set

Think of it as a one-line note for someone covering your inbox while you're on vacation.

How automatic learning works

When you open Aeralis on a thread you've participated in, Aeralis captures the messages you sent in that thread as style samples. These are used as few-shot examples when generating new drafts.

• Only your own messages are captured — the other party's writing is never used as a style example
• Samples are scoped to the active profile
• Capture happens in the background; no action required

There's nothing to forward, nothing to clear, nothing to manage. Just use Aeralis normally and the style learning compounds quietly.

Privacy

• Style samples are stored under your profile and never shared across users
• Only your own messages from threads you view are captured — never anyone else's
• When you delete a profile, all associated style data is permanently deleted
