# Teach Parker your writing style

> Let Parker learn how you write from your sent mail, review what it learned, and set your sign-off, so drafts sound like you.

Teach Parker how you write, so emails and replies it drafts for you sound like you. Your style notes are yours alone and aren't shared with your team.

Go to **Settings** > **Writing style** to see everything on this page.

## Before you begin

To let Parker learn from your sent mail, [connect your mailbox](/email/connect-mailbox) first.

## How does Parker learn my style?

When you ask it to, Parker reads about 50 emails you sent over the last 6 months. It reads only your Sent folder, never your drafts or mail sent to you.

Parker keeps short notes about *how* you write, such as "opens with a first name". It also looks for your usual sign-off. It doesn't keep your emails: not the text, subjects, recipients, or any names, figures, or links in them.

Each note waits for you to keep or remove it.

## Learn your style from sent mail

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start learning">
    In the **What Parker learned** card, select **Learn again**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read and agree">
    The **Learn how you write?** dialog explains what Parker reads and what it keeps. Select **Read my sent mail**. This takes a minute or so.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check each note">
    New notes appear under **Does this sound like you?** Each one says how often Parker saw it, such as "Seen in 9 of 16 emails you sent". Select **Keep** or **Remove** for each.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Notes you keep are listed under **Kept**. To drop one later, select the **×** next to it.

</Frame>

## Add a note in your own words

In the **What Parker learned** card, enter a note in the box, such as "Never uses exclamation marks", and select **Add**.

## Set or change your sign-off

The **Sign-off** card controls how replies Parker drafts for you end. It's "added exactly as written, never reworded."

* **To change it**, select **Edit**.
* **To stop using it**, select **Turn off**.

</Frame>

## Check that drafts sound like you

The **Does this sound like you?** card puts one of your recent replies next to what Parker would write to the same email. Parker writes its version without seeing yours.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Compare">
    Select **Compare with one of my replies**. Parker shows **What you sent** next to **What Parker would write**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give your verdict">
    Select **Sounds like me** if it's right, or **Not quite…** if it isn't. Select **Try another email** to see a different one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Say what's off">
    After **Not quite…**, pick what's wrong, such as **Too long**, **Too formal**, or **Wrong sign-off**, or say it in your words. Then select **Suggest a note**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Judge the style, not the facts. As the card says, "Parker only has what it is given." A saved note applies to every automation and every reply drafted for you.

## Check it worked

* **What Parker learned** shows how many emails it learned from, and the date.
* Your notes appear under **Kept**.
* The **Sign-off** card shows **Drafts end with** and **On**.
* Ask Parker to draft an email and check that it uses your greeting and sign-off.

<Prompt description="See your style in action">Draft a short email to [alex.rivera@example.com](mailto:alex.rivera@example.com) thanking them for their time today. Don't send it.</Prompt>

## Delete what Parker learned

To remove all your notes, select **Stop using my style and delete these notes** at the end of the page.
