Transform Emailing with AI: Discover the Ease of 'Draft My Email

We are thrilled to unveil the 'Draft My Email' feature powered by BigChange AI. This cutting-edge tool is designed to transform how you compose emails, offering an AI-powered assistant that crafts messages tailored to your needs.

With 'Draft My Email', you can effortlessly create emails that resonate with your chosen tone and length – choose from options like neutral, formal, informal, persuasive, and more to ensure your message hits the right note every time.

Concerns about ease of use? We've got you covered. 'Draft My Email' is integrated into the BigChange platform, ensuring only authorised users can access it.

Plus, with no training required, you can start drafting compelling emails with just a prompt.

This feature does not automatically send emails; you are still in complete control, allowing you to review, edit, and send your messages only when you are comfortable with the content. 

To start, compose a new email and press the 'Draft my email' button. After you have used it a few times, we would love to hear what you think. You can let us know by clicking the orange feedback button, which will appear automatically once you have used it a few times.

Give it a go today by creating a new email and clicking the 'Draft My Email' button.

We're eager to hear your thoughts on this new feature. After you've explored its capabilities a few times, a designated orange feedback button will appear. We encourage you to use this opportunity to share your insights and experiences with us.
