Deep dive into generating emails from notes and ideas

Transform your raw notes and brainstormed ideas into professionally written emails in seconds. This new capability uses Apple Intelligence to automatically draft email content and a corresponding subject line, saving you the time and effort of composing messages from scratch. It's the perfect tool for turning a quick thought into a polished piece of communication.

What's new

This feature introduces a powerful workflow that connects the Notes app, Shortcuts, and the Mail app. Using the new Use Cloud model action, the shortcut first generates a complete email body based on the content of your note. It then uses a second AI action to create a concise, punchy subject line for that content. The entire process is initiated directly from the Share Sheet in any note, providing a seamless transition from idea to draft.

How to use this feature

  1. Open a note containing the ideas or text you want to turn into an email.
  2. Tap the Share button at the top of the note.
  3. Select the Send Email from Note AI shortcut from the list of actions.
  4. Apple Intelligence will process your note's content in the background.
  5. A new email compose window will appear, pre-filled with a generated subject and body, ready for you to review and send.

Key capabilities

  • Intelligent Content Generation: Converts unstructured notes, bullet points, or paragraphs into a coherent email format.
  • Automated Subject Lines: Creates a relevant, short subject line with an appropriate emoji to increase engagement.
  • Customizable Prompts: You can edit the underlying prompts in the shortcut to adjust the tone, length, or target audience of the generated email.
  • Streamlined Workflow: Eliminates the need to copy and paste text between apps, allowing you to move directly from ideation in Notes to communication in Mail.

Tips for getting the most out of this feature

For even more efficiency, duplicate the shortcut and customize the prompts for different use cases. You could have one version that writes formal emails for your team and another that creates casual updates for your podcast listeners. Simply adjust the text inside the Use Cloud model actions to change the instructions given to the AI.

Summary

Generating emails from notes is a powerful example of how Apple Intelligence streamlines everyday tasks. By transforming your rough ideas into ready-to-send emails with just a tap, this feature significantly reduces the friction between thinking and communicating. It’s an invaluable tool for boosting productivity and ensuring your important ideas are shared effectively.
