Cue Use cases Voice-driven email drafts
Voice-driven email drafts
Use Cue’s Agent workflow to turn the context and facts you provide into an email draft. Ask for a draft only, then review and edit it before placing the approved text in your email app. Use Dictation instead when you only want to enter the words you speak.
- Agent drafts from your points
- Mac and Windows
- You send it yourself
Have the email in mind? Give Agent the points you want included, then review the draft before you use it.

FAQ
How does Cue help draft an email?
Use Agent with the context and facts you provide to request a draft only. Review and edit the result before placing it in your email app. For word-for-word voice input, focus the email text field and use Dictation instead.
Does Cue read my email thread or sent mail?
The workflow described here does not depend on inbox or conversation-history access. Include the context and facts the draft needs in what you say, then verify the result.
Does Cue send the email for me?
You stay in control of sending. Review and edit the draft, then use your email app's own Send control yourself.
Which email apps does this workflow cover?
Review the Agent draft, then place the approved text in your email app yourself. This page does not promise direct insertion, a separate email-app integration or inbox access.
