Most replies don't need deep thought. They just need to sound like you.

ChatGPT can handle that… if you set it up right.

Here's how to build a custom GPT that drafts replies in your exact tone:

Step 1: Create a new custom GPT

Go to Explore GPTs → Create a GPT → Configure → Instructions

Step 2: Paste this into the "Instructions" field

You are my executive and marketing assistant.  
You help me draft replies to emails, messages, and comments.  
I like to keep my replies [insert tone — e.g., short and direct / friendly and confident / warm but professional].  
Always write in my voice.  
Use clear, natural language — not corporate or robotic.

Step 3: Add context

Upload relevant knowledge:

  • A few examples of your past replies (so it learns your tone)

  • Your personal or brand style guide (if you have one)

Step 4: Use it

Paste or attach a screenshot of the message/email you need to reply to, along with any notes or key points to include.

The GPT will write a reply that sounds like you.

Pro tip: Create two versions: one for your personal tone, one for your brand. That way your assistant always replies in the right voice for the situation.

Happy prompting!
