Inbox Drafter

Work Personal

No reply debt at day end: a batch of drafts in your own voice, each one waiting for your yes, and none sent without it.

Approval gate

This bot only drafts and prepares. It never sends, posts, pays, books, or buys anything without your explicit yes, and it says so inside the starter itself.

How it works

  1. Copy the starter.
  2. Paste it as the first message in a new chat with your AI.
  3. Answer a few questions so it can write its brief.
  4. Approve the brief before anything runs.

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any chat AI you already use.

Sample run

Provenance: The sample input for each bot below is fictional. The sample output was produced by actually running that bot's starter on that fictional input for StumbleBots, following the starter's instructions as written. Every name, business, and number in the samples is invented. What is real is the format, the limits, and the approval gate: a user who runs the same starter should expect the same shape of output, the same word limits, the same [NEED:] flags where facts are missing, and the same rule that nothing is sent, posted, or acted on without an explicit yes. One stand-in applies to Lead Hunter only. Lead Hunter normally links live public evidence, and real prospects must not be invented or published as a sample, so its sample was run against fictional fixture posts written for StumbleBots. In its sample, each Evidence cell quotes the fictional sample post and carries a bracketed note that a live run puts the live link in that cell.

Sample input

Sample input (fictional): Fictional sample user: Priya Sample. Fictional interview answers: voice sample pasted was "Hi Ana, thanks for sending this over. I can get to it Friday. Shout if you need it sooner. Priya" so the voice is short sentences, warm and plain, first name sign-off. Batch: 3 unread messages, pasted below. Drafts: short and plain. Never-agree list: never agree to host or lead anything.

Sample input, the fictional batch:
- From landlord Mr. Ortiz, subject "Kitchen faucet": The kitchen faucet has a slow drip. His plumber can come Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Reply with which day works.
- From cousin Leo, subject "Dinner Saturday": Dinner at Leo's place Saturday at 7pm. Can Priya come, and can she bring a dessert?
- From book club organizer Ana, subject "Next meeting": Next meeting is Nov 3. Will Priya lead the discussion of the next book?

Sample output

DRAFTS

Subject: Kitchen faucet
Hi Mr. Ortiz, thanks for arranging the plumber. [NEED: your call: Tuesday or Wednesday morning]. Priya

Subject: Dinner Saturday
Hi Leo, thanks for the invite. [NEED: your call: yes or no for Saturday at 7pm]. If I can make it, I am happy to bring a dessert. Priya

Subject: Next meeting
FLAGGED: This message asks you to lead, which is on your never-agree list. Hold draft below.
Hi Ana, thanks for thinking of me for the Nov 3 meeting. I need to check before I can answer about leading the discussion. Priya

Nothing has been sent.
Drafts ready: 3 / Drafts with a [NEED: your call] flag: 2

The starter

Paste this into your agent as-is. No editing. It interviews you first, shows its brief back, and waits for your yes before it runs.

Start an Inbox Drafter for me. Do not ask me to edit this prompt.

Interview me first. One question at a time, 4 questions max:
1. Paste one reply you actually sent that sounds like you, so I can learn your voice.
2. Which batch should I draft for: a named sender, a named topic, or everything unread?
3. How long should drafts be: short and plain, or full and detailed?
4. Anything I should never agree to in a draft, like hosting, leading, money, or deadlines?

After my answers, write the brief back to me in 5 lines or less: your voice in one line, the batch, draft length, never-agree list. Wait for my yes before you draft anything.

If you cannot see my inbox, say so plainly, then run on what I paste: ask me to paste the messages, and draft only for those.

Then draft the batch in this same session:
- One draft per message, in your voice, based only on what the message says and what you told me.
- Put each draft under its subject line, ready for you to copy, edit, or delete.
- Where a reply needs a decision only you can make, write [NEED: your call] in the draft instead of deciding for you.
- End with a count: drafts ready, and how many carry a [NEED: your call] flag.

Rules: Drafts only. Never send any message, and never post or publish anything, without your explicit yes on that exact message. Never invent commitments, dates, prices, facts, or promises that the message and you did not give me. If a message asks for something on your never-agree list, draft a polite hold reply instead and flag it at the top.

One-shot prompt

Just need the job done once, not a standing bot? Use this version and fill in the brackets.

Draft a reply to the message below, in my voice. This template is paste based: it runs on the message pasted here and needs no inbox access.

My voice: [VOICE NOTES, for example: Short sentences. Warm and plain. Signs off with my first name only.]
Draft length: [DRAFT LENGTH, for example: under 80 words].

Message to reply to:
[PASTE MESSAGE HERE]

Rules:
- Draft only. Never send any message, and never post or publish anything, without your explicit yes on that exact message.
- Use only facts in the message and in this prompt. Never invent dates, prices, facts, promises, or commitments.
- Where the reply needs a decision from me, write [NEED: your call] instead of deciding for me.
- Never agree to [NEVER-AGREE ITEMS, for example: hosting, deadlines, or spending] in the draft. If the message asks for one, draft a polite hold reply and flag it at the top.
- Give me 2 versions, one plain and one warmer, with the same facts in both.
