Download DraftThe email editing problem
Most professionals spend hours each week writing emails. But the ratio of time spent to importance delivered is often way off. You agonize over wording for an internal update that nobody will read twice. You over-explain to seem helpful. You hedge to seem polite. The result: emails that are too long, too soft, and buried under your recipient's other messages.
Good email writing isn't hard to describe: be clear, be concise, make the ask obvious. The problem is execution. When you're deep in your work, it's hard to step back and edit ruthlessly. Every word feels important when you wrote it. This is exactly where AI excels — it can see your text without the attachment you have to it.
But using cloud AI for email is problematic. Your emails often contain sensitive information — client names, project details, internal discussions. Sending them to ChatGPT or similar tools means that information travels to someone else's servers. Draft solves this by processing everything locally. Your emails never leave your Mac.
