Type who the email is to and what you need to say, in rough notes and in any order. Hemmingway turns the notes into an email: a subject line, the point in the first two sentences, one clear ask and a sign-off. The email appears in the chat, and you copy it into your own mail.
It works as an AI email generator for any kind of email: to a landlord, a teacher, a supplier, your boss. It uses only what is in your notes. If a date, a name or an order number matters, put it in, because it will not guess one.
What makes it work
- Write the notes the way you would say them. "Boiler broke Sunday, no hot water since" is enough.
- Put in every fact the email needs. Dates, names, amounts, reference numbers. An email missing one of these gets a question back, not an answer.
- Say what you want from them. An engineer booked, a form signed, a yes or a no. An email with no ask gets read and left.
- Say who they are to you. The same notes should read differently to a friend at work and to a stranger at a council office.
An example
Asked for an email to the letting agent for your flat, with the notes "boiler broke Sunday night, no hot water since, I'm home Wednesday and Thursday mornings for an engineer", wanting an engineer booked this week and the time confirmed, in a polite but firm tone, an email along these lines is what to expect:
Subject: Boiler broken, no hot water since Sunday
Hello,
The boiler in my flat broke on Sunday night and I have had no hot water since.
Please could you book an engineer this week and let me know the time? I am at home on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Thank you,
If it is too stiff, too long or missing something, say so in the chat and it writes it again.
When another tool fits better
This one starts from a blank page. If you are answering an email, the email reply generator reads what they wrote first. If you already have a draft, the email rewriter tidies it. For a first email to a stranger there is the cold email generator. To lay an email out by hand, see how to write a professional email.
Common questions
Is the AI email writer free?
Yes. Hemmingway has a free trial with no card needed, and this tool opens it with your answers filled in. You sign up once, and the email is written in the chat.
Can it write emails inside Gmail or Outlook?
This page writes one email in the chat and you paste it into your mail. The Hemmingway apps for Mac, Windows and Android have an Inbox that connects to Gmail and Outlook and drafts each reply for you to read and send.
Will it sound like AI?
It is built not to. Hemmingway-1, the model behind it, came first on sounding like a person in our own blind test, Human-Likeness. It still helps to read it aloud and change any word you would not use.
Are my notes used to train the model?
No. Chats, including anything you type into this form, are never used for training.
