+AI My Writing Style
My Writing Style helps you draft emails in your unique tone, making Spark +AI a more personal and efficient writing assistant. It matches your preferred greetings, sign-offs, email pacing, and commonly used terms - especially useful if you work in a technical field or have favored expressions.
By default, Spark uses a pre-selected tone and length, but you can enable My Writing Style anytime in Settings or Onboarding. When activated, it analyzes a few recent emails (ideally over 300 characters), learns your style, and applies it to all new drafts, following Azure OpenAI’s privacy standards. You can review or update these sample emails in Spark +AI -> Writing Assistant -> My Writing Style Settings.
This update ensures My Writing Style captures the unique way you express yourself, helping you sound authentic in every email, even during busy times. The AI-generated drafts will reflect your voice right from the start, reducing your need to edit and saving you valuable time.
