Sentience brings your own perspective to the writing, and lets others ask you questions through your digital self.

Write it in your voice
Your writing has a vocabulary and rhythm people recognize. You use humor differently with a friend than with a new customer. Sentience learns from your communication and uses that voice, your history with the recipient and the conversations behind the request to write the draft.
A teacher recorded their thoughts and used Sentience to turn them into an outline, task list and email in their voice. You can start by talking through an idea; Sentience helps you put it into words.
Include the details you already discussed
A good follow-up should reflect the conversation that came before it. Ask Sentience to find what you promised, check the details and write the message with that history in view.
Sentience also goes through your connected sources, surfaces messages that need attention and suggests replies in your voice. Review the draft and decide what to send.
Give people access to your judgment
Your team has questions you have answered before. What did we promise? Why did we change the plan? Share your Sentience so they can ask about those decisions while you keep going.
You choose the topics and sources it can use in each place. Use Sentience for your own writing and ideas, and share it when someone else needs your perspective.
Try it on a reply you need to send
Connect the conversation and ask Sentience to draft your reply. Check whether it has your tone, the right details and the point you want to make. Refine it with Sentience, then send it when you are ready.
Frequently asked questions
Why use Sentience if I already use ChatGPT every day?
Choose Sentience for the conversations where knowing you changes the answer. It can find what you promised a customer, write the reply in your voice and bring an important thread to your attention before you ask. Your connected history becomes useful in the actual draft or decision you are working on.
How does Sentience learn to write like me?
It learns from your own communication: your vocabulary, sentence rhythm, humor and how you address different people. When it writes a draft, it also draws on your history with the recipient and what you already agreed to. You can revise the wording with your Sentience and tell it what feels off.
Do I have to leave ChatGPT to ask my Sentience something?
No. You can add the Sentience connector to ChatGPT and consult your Sentience there. You can also write, revise and develop ideas directly in Sentience, where important messages, suggested replies and discoveries come to you.
Start with something on your mind
Connect your email and calendar to get started. Sentience uses them to show you what needs your attention, prepare you for meetings and draft replies in your voice. Bring an idea, ask a question or record your thoughts. Share your Sentience when others need answers too.
