Rewrite & polish emails with AI
The short answer
To rewrite an email with AI, email your draft to your Airbox address and say how to change it — “make this more professional,” “cut it in half,” “soften the tone.” Airbox sends it to your own AI and emails back the polished version, ready to copy into your reply. Great for getting tricky emails right before they go out.
How to do it
- Get a free Airbox address and connect your AI provider key.
- Email or forward your rough draft to that address.
- Say how to rewrite it — tone, length, or audience — and send.
Example
Subject: polish this (* @chatgpt rewrite the email below to be more concise and professional, keep the friendly tone *)
Paste your draft under the instruction; the AI rewrites it and emails the result back.
Common rewrites
- “Make this more professional / more casual.”
- “Cut this in half without losing the point.”
- “Soften this so it doesn't sound annoyed.”
- “Fix grammar and tighten it up.”
Frequently asked questions
- Can it adapt to my style?
- Yes. Add a Context doc with examples of your writing and the rewrite keeps your voice instead of sounding generic.
- Does Airbox send emails to other people for me?
- By design, Airbox emails the result back to you to review and send — it never sends to arbitrary recipients on its own, so untrusted email content can't trick it into emailing a stranger. It can reply in an existing thread when you ask, and it can email you a clean copy, but you stay in control of anything that goes to a third party.
- How much does it cost?
- Airbox has a free plan to get started. You bring your own AI provider API key, so you pay the provider directly for the tokens you use — there is no AI markup from Airbox.
- Is it safe to point Airbox at my real email?
- Yes — that's exactly what Airbox is designed for. Airbox only acts on mail from senders you allow, and it only treats the subject and first body line (or a (* … *) block) as instructions. Everything else in a forwarded email is quarantined as untrusted content and never obeyed for your own security and privacy. Your API keys stay fully encrypted.
