Frequently asked questions

The prompt says "Monday update" but the structure works any day. If you send updates on Fridays or mid-week, just tell the AI the day and it'll adjust the framing naturally.
One honest sentence about progress and what's next — e.g. "Finished the first draft of the strategy deck; waiting on their brand assets before moving to design." That context shapes the whole email.
Be direct about it. Note the blocker in your situation field — e.g. "Waiting on client feedback, nothing unblocked this week." The AI will write around the stall without making it awkward.
Yes, fill in the fields separately for each client and run the prompt once per person. Takes about two minutes per email once you're in a rhythm.
No. Under 120 words is the goal. clients are busy, and short emails get read. If something genuinely needs more space, put it in a doc and link to it rather than expanding the email itself.
