For non-native English speakers

You are brilliant in your field. Your email should sound like it.

Persona makes you sound fluent, confident, and exactly as warm or firm as you mean — without second-guessing every word, right inside Gmail.

You should not be judged on your second language

You are an expert engineer, a sharp analyst, a decisive manager. But when an important email is in English, a single awkward phrase can make people read you as uncertain — when you are anything but. That is not fair, and it is not necessary.

Persona is not a grammar checker that flags the same mistakes after the fact. It rewrites your intent into natural, native-sounding English that carries the exact tone you meant — so colleagues respond to your ideas, not your prepositions.

Stop second-guessing whether you sound rude — or too soft

The hardest part of writing in a second language is not vocabulary — it is calibration. Did that "please do this by Friday" land as polite or pushy? Was "I think there may be an issue" firm enough, or did it disappear? In a language you grew up in, you feel it instantly. In a second one, you guess.

  • Eight behavioral dials let you set warmth, assertiveness, urgency, and formality on purpose — so a firm deadline reads as firm, not aggressive.
  • Seven writing personas give you a confident default voice, from diplomatic to direct, instead of translating word by word.
  • Persona reads the Gmail thread so your reply matches the register your counterpart is already using.

Sound like you — just fluent

Fluent does not mean generic. With My Voice, Persona learns from emails you have already written and keeps your phrasing, your warmth, your sign-off — while smoothing the English so it never gets in your way. You stay yourself; the friction disappears.

It also understands that "professional" is not the same in every culture. See how cultural intelligence helps you write across borders, and get the fundamentals right on professional emails.

Private by design — your words never become training data

Names, emails, and phone numbers are stripped before anything leaves your browser. Your drafts and your contacts are not harvested or used to train models. Writing in English is already vulnerable enough — your privacy should not be the price.

Frequently asked questions

Will my email still sound like me, or like a robot?

Like you. With My Voice, Persona keeps your phrasing and personality and only smooths the English. You can also tune tone with eight dials so nothing comes out stiff or generic.

How is this different from a grammar checker?

A grammar checker fixes mistakes after you have written them. Persona drafts the email for you from a short description of your intent, in natural English that lands with the right tone — so you are not just correct, you are confident.

Can it help me sound firm without sounding rude?

Yes — that calibration is the whole point. Set assertiveness and warmth independently so a hard deadline reads as decisive and respectful at once. See writing professional emails.

Does it understand cultural differences in tone?

It does. Different cultures read directness, formality, and warmth differently — cultural intelligence helps you match the expectations of whoever you are writing to.
