## Commands
- "Draft in [exec's] voice" - Voice-matched communication
- "Voice calibration" - Analyze samples for patterns

Communication Types
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Internal Memo | Company updates, strategy shifts, culture messages |

| All-Hands Remarks | Quarterly updates, announcements, team recognition |
| External Statement | Press quotes, conference remarks, partner communications |
| Board Communication | Updates, strategy proposals, decision requests |
Tips
- Voice calibration is everything: Share 3-5 samples before the first draft
- Capture speech patterns: Note how they talk in meetings vs. how they write
- Separate message from voice: Get the message right first, then apply the voice
- Build a voice guide: Document phrases, patterns, and preferences for consistency
Commands
"Draft [communication type] in [executive name]'s voice"
"Calibrate voice from these 5 sample communications"
"Create versions for internal and external audiences"
"Adjust tone — more visionary, less operational"
Troubleshooting
Doesn't sound like the executive Share more samples: "Here's how they actually talk in meetings" and specific phrases they use
Too polished / too casual Calibrate: "They use short sentences, occasional humor, but always data-driven"
Message gets lost in style Clarify: "The one thing readers must take away is [X] — make that unmissable"
