Quick answer — TL;DR

Drafting works when the substance comes from your own data and the person sending it stays accountable. We build from your records and your approved language, with editing in place and every edit captured as signal.

Drafts from data, not from nothing

AI drafting is genuinely useful when it transforms material you already have: an enquiry into a reply, records into a report, a specification into proposal copy.

It is much weaker asked to produce substance from nothing, and the result is fluent text with no information in it — which readers and search engines both recognise.

What we build

  1. Context assembly — pull the customer record, the history, the relevant policy
  2. Generation against your approved language and tone, not generic output
  3. Editing in place, so the person adjusts rather than rewrites
  4. One-click send from the same screen, with the record updated automatically
  5. Edit capture, so consistent corrections improve the prompt over time

The person sending it is accountable

Automate the assembly, never the accountability. Whoever presses send owns the content, and the interface should make that obvious rather than encouraging one-click approval of unread text.

For anything carrying professional liability — advice, clinical, legal, financial — we build in an explicit review step and say so in the specification.

Where it saves the most

  • Support replies where the answer exists in documentation
  • Client reports where the narrative changes but the structure does not
  • Proposals assembled from previous ones and approved boilerplate
  • Meeting summaries and follow-up actions from a transcript
  • Internal updates that nobody enjoys writing

Measure the edit rate

Track how much of each draft survives. A high edit rate means the drafts are not useful; a zero edit rate probably means nobody is reading them, which is worse.

Somewhere in between is healthy, and the trend should improve as the system learns your corrections.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions readers ask us after this guide.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly — a senior engineer will get back to you.

Ask about your project

Will it sound like us?

With your approved examples and tone guidance, closely. We build the tone from your actual sent material rather than from a description of it.

Can it write from scratch?

It can produce fluent text with no substance, which is rarely what you want. Give it your material and it becomes genuinely useful.

What stops it inventing facts?

Grounding it strictly in the retrieved record and instructing refusal rather than inference, then testing that refusal behaviour as carefully as the answers.

How much time does it save?

For repetitive correspondence, most of the drafting time, which is usually the majority. For genuinely bespoke writing, considerably less — and we will say so.
