B+78·Jan 30, 2026

Email Response Drafting

Generate 3 strategic email response versions based on email history and current context.

Input your email thread and situation:

Email thread: [paste conversation history]
Current context: [describe situation, urgency, relationship dynamics]

Get 3 response versions:

  • Version A: Direct/Professional
  • Version B: Diplomatic/Collaborative
  • Version C: Brief/Action-focused
Recommendation
Add concrete input/output examples showing the actual email text for each version, not just descriptions of what each version does
  1. Context Analysis

    • Review email thread chronologically
    • Identify key stakeholders and their positions
    • Note tone shifts and unresolved issues
  2. Situation Assessment

    • Determine urgency level
    • Assess relationship dynamics
    • Identify desired outcome
  3. Response Strategy

    • Version A: Clear, direct, professional tone
    • Version B: Diplomatic, relationship-preserving approach
    • Version C: Concise, action-oriented response

Progress:

  • Analyze email history and extract key points
  • Assess current situation and constraints
  • Draft Version A (Direct/Professional)
  • Draft Version B (Diplomatic/Collaborative)
  • Draft Version C (Brief/Action-focused)
  • Add tactical notes for each version
Recommendation
Include specific templates or frameworks for the three response types with placeholder text that users can customize

Example 1: Input: Client complaining about project delays, requesting immediate meeting Current context: Team is behind due to scope changes, client relationship is strained

Output: Version A: Acknowledges delay, explains scope changes, proposes structured meeting with agenda Version B: Empathizes with frustration, focuses on partnership, suggests collaborative solution Version C: Confirms meeting availability, attaches revised timeline, requests specific feedback points

Example 2: Input: Colleague disagreeing with your proposal in team email chain Current context: Important decision needed by Friday, stakeholders watching

Output: Version A: Addresses concerns point-by-point with data, maintains professional stance Version B: Acknowledges valid concerns, proposes compromise, invites offline discussion Version C: Suggests brief call to align, focuses on deadline and next steps

Recommendation
Expand the tactical notes section with specific criteria for choosing between versions (e.g., 'Use Version A when deadline is < 48 hours and you have decision authority')
  • Maintain consistent facts across all versions
  • Adapt tone and emphasis rather than changing substance
  • Include clear next steps in each version
  • Consider recipient's communication style and preferences
  • Add tactical notes explaining when to use each version
  • Don't change key facts between versions
  • Avoid being too vague in diplomatic versions
  • Don't make brief versions seem dismissive
  • Never include contradictory commitments across versions
  • Don't over-complicate simple responses
