Workflow · Level 2 — With your approval

Sound like you, without typing it.

By Raj Patel

Level 2 · Your approval

You know what to say; you just don't have the hour to say it well. This workflow teaches your Muse how you write, then turns rough thoughts into finished drafts — email replies, newsletters, posts. Every send waits for your eyes. Built for anyone who writes the same kinds of messages every week.

Connect these first

Gmail for reply drafts; a docs app for longer pieces. Connect read-only first — the agent only needs to read your sent mail to learn your voice.

01

Teach it your voice

Paste in a few emails or posts you actually wrote, and Muse studies how you write — your greeting, your sign-off, your sentence length — then saves it as a reusable style guide. Do this once: every draft it writes from then on sounds like you, not like a template.

Gmail

Paste into Muse

Read my last 20 sent emails and describe my writing style in 5 bullet points: tone, length, greetings, sign-offs, quirks. Save it as "my voice" and use it for every draft you write for me. Show me the 5 bullets first.

02

Draft the newsletter

Send Muse your rough updates — bullets, half-sentences, voice notes — and it turns them into a finished newsletter draft in your voice, with a subject line and a sensible order. You edit and approve: the ideas stay yours, the typing gets done for you.

Google Docs

Paste into Muse

Draft this week's newsletter from these three updates: [update 1], [update 2], [update 3]. Use "my voice". Friendly tone, under 300 words, with a subject line. Save it as a Google Doc. Do not send or publish anything.

03

Replies on demand

Dictate the rough idea — ‘tell them Thursday works but I need the deck first’ — and Muse returns a send-ready reply in your voice, with the tone matched to the person. You read it once, tweak if you want, and hit send yourself.

Gmail

Paste into Muse

Draft a reply to [this email / describe it]: I want to say [the rough idea, in my own sloppy words]. Keep it short, use "my voice", and save it as a draft reply. Do not send.

04

Review before anything sends

This is the weekly habit that keeps the whole thing safe: Muse’s drafts are suggestions, and you are always the sender. Skim each draft for tone and facts, approve or edit, and nothing ever goes out in your name that you didn’t read first.

Paste into Muse

Show me all the drafts you created this week, one by one, with the recipient and subject for each. I'll approve or edit each one. Send nothing until I say the word "send" for that specific draft.

Where approvals sit

The rule is absolute: nothing sends without you saying "send" for that specific item. Drafts, doc saves, and style learning need no approval — anything that leaves your outbox or publishes does.

What to verify

Read every draft before sending — check facts (dates, names, numbers), tone, and recipients. Agents draft fluently and invent details with equal fluency; the first month, read closely. After that, skim for the facts and trust the voice.

What can go wrong

The big one is invented detail: a draft that confidently includes a wrong date, a name you never mentioned, or a promise you wouldn't make. Tone can also drift formal or breezy without you noticing. Never grant send authority on day one — earn it over weeks of accurate drafts, and even then keep it for low-stakes mail only.

Sound like you, without typing it: questions

Handing your voice to an agent raises fair questions: how it learns your style, what happens to the drafts, and who actually sends. The short version — it studies your writing, drafts in your voice, and you always hit send.

Will people be able to tell it's AI-written?
If the voice profile is built from your real writing, drafts usually need only light edits. Tell the agent when a draft doesn't sound like you — it adjusts fast with feedback.
Can it handle sensitive or angry emails?
It can draft them, but keep those 100% human-reviewed. For anything emotional, legal, or high-stakes, write it yourself — use the agent for the routine 90%.
Does it work for social posts too?
Yes — same workflow. Give it the rough idea and where it's posting; it drafts in your voice. You post.
