Customize Drafting Style And Behavior

Drafting style tells dreamif.ai how your emails should sound: casual or formal, short or detailed, direct or warm.

Steps#

Drafting style shapes how replies are written. Which emails get a reply at all is reply criteria.

  1. Go to Settings > AI preferences > Replies.

  2. Make sure Auto-draft replies is on. The Writing sub-tab only appears while it is.

  3. Open Writing and find the Drafting style box.

  4. Describe your preferred style in plain English. For example:

    "Keep replies short and friendly. Use first names. Do not use exclamation marks. Match the formality of the sender. If they write casually, reply casually."

  5. Click Save Settings.

The box holds 2000 characters. Past that, saving fails with "Drafting style is too long to save. Shorten it and try again."

What you can shape#

  • Tone: professional, warm, casual, direct.
  • Length: brief one-liners against detailed responses.
  • Formality: first names against "Mr./Ms.", contractions against formal language.
  • Habits: things you always or never do, such as "always sign off with 'Best'".
  • Handling of outside sources, such as "summarize Drive docs instead of quoting long passages".

What drafting style does not override#

dreamif.ai follows your style instructions inside its safety boundaries. It will not send harmful content, reach past the Google permissions you granted, or skip the confirmation step before a send.

Style also does not decide how often drafts appear. That comes from Auto-draft replies and the confidence setting beside it. See Control when dreamif.ai drafts replies.
