Teach Your AI Assistant to Write Warm Intro Emails

Warm introductions are high-value and annoying to write: you have to remember who each person is, summarize them fairly, and explain why they should care about each other. This builds a custom skill that does it. You give Carly two names and email addresses, and it researches both people, writes a short bio for each, and drops a ready-to-send introduction into your drafts for review. In the demo it also catches a misspelled name and fixes it on its own. The broader point is what a custom skill is: rather than repeating the same multi-step request every time, you describe the job once and it becomes something you can invoke with just the inputs that change.

Step by step

  1. 01

    Describe the skill once

    Ask Carly to build a custom skill rather than running the request ad hoc. You describe the job (take two people, research them, write bios, draft an intro) and it becomes a reusable capability instead of a prompt you retype.

  2. 02

    Give it the two people

    The only inputs that change each time are two names and two email addresses. Everything else about how the intro gets written is already captured in the skill.

  3. 03

    Let it research both sides

    Carly looks up each person and writes a short bio for each, the part that normally makes you open three tabs and try to remember where someone works now.

  4. 04

    Review it in drafts

    The finished introduction lands in your drafts rather than going out. Intros are reputational, so the draft step matters: you read it, adjust the framing, and send it yourself.

  5. 05

    Expect it to catch your mistakes

    In the demo the skill caught a misspelled name and corrected it. Because it researches the people rather than just formatting what you typed, it can notice when an input doesn't match a real person.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.

Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.

On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
