Hire an AI personal story email writer and reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• Three story email drafts in different shapes, with a suggestion for which to send first
• A list of cuts, a pacing map, subject fixes and a score out of 100
• A clean version with small errors fixed in your voice
• A read of your numbers, with what to repeat and one fix to test

How it does the job well

• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.
• Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.
• Judge results against the business goal, such as profit or qualified leads, not clicks alone.

Mistakes it avoids

• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your emails all sound like promotions and you want one that sounds personal.

• Step 1 file: three drafts. Who is on the list, three story drafts in different shapes, which to send first, and a claims check.
• Step 2 file: review. Cuts to make, a pacing map, subject line fixes, a score out of 100 and a verdict.
• Step 3 file: clean draft. The final email with small errors fixed in your voice.
• Step 4 file: results read. Ranked diagnosis of your numbers, what to repeat, one fix to test and a score out of 100.
• HAND-BACK SUMMARY. Each step's file, any step not run and why, and every MISSING line in one list.

How the work is checked

• Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
• The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
• Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
• Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Claude Hopkins and Ann Handley would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Write three drafts. Decides the reaction and the one takeaway first, answers the buyer's main doubts, and writes three drafts in different shapes with a call to action and a P.S.
• Review the draft you pick. Checks the opening line, length and subject, cuts filler, maps the pacing, checks facts and scores how ready it is to send.
• Fix the small errors. Takes the draft after you apply the cuts and fixes spelling and wording in your own voice, leaving your style alone.
• Send and export (you). You send the email to part of your list next to your usual sends. After a few days you export the campaign numbers.
• Read the results. Checks nothing is broken, then compares opens, clicks and orders to show what the story email did next to your usual sends.

2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Your brand file with voice, products and what you can claim
• One true story you can tell, in rough notes
• Who is on the list and the one action you want
• A short brief with the goal of the email (optional)
• Your campaign numbers a few days after sending, with your usual sends to compare

Tools and access

• Any good chat AI: Any current chat AI can draft the three structures once it has your story and facts. You edit for your own voice.
• Klaviyo: Paid email service that needs an account. It sends plain-text emails and handles a manual 50/50 split to compare a story email with a promo.
• Any good chat AI: Any current chat AI can count words, mark cuts and map the pacing. Paste the email as text.
• Klaviyo: Paid service with an account. Shows opens and clicks per email, so you can test whether the rules of thumb hold for your list.
• Klaviyo: Paid service with an account. Any email tool that exports the same columns works too. Its export of campaign and flow analytics, by-provider report and test results give the figures this skill reads.
• Shopify: Paid store plan with an account. Traffic, orders and average order value show whether a drop is a site problem.
• Any good chat AI: Any current chat AI can read an exported file and apply the steps.

Tasks you can use it for

• Your emails all sound like promotions and you want one that sounds personal.
• You have a true story about why you started, a customer or a mistake, and don't know how to turn it into an email.
• You want to know if a story email beats your usual sends before you write more.

Limits to check before starting

• You have no past sends to compare against: use the Email draft readiness checker to score the draft, and skip the results step.
• You want a plain promo or sale email: use the Campaign email writer.
• You only want to fix the wording of an email you already wrote: use the Email call to action editor.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md plus four skill files, in the order they run: Story email writer, Email draft reviewer, Email mistake fixer, Email and SMS performance reader.
• Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
• Tell it the story as you would to a friend. Don't polish it first.
• Pick one draft, take the cuts, then send it to part of your list next to your usual emails. Export the numbers after a few days.
