My AI employee
Sonja writes the email in my voice. I only say when it's allowed to go out.
Sonja has been running in my business since July 17, 2026, and there's a ready-made template for her in Premium.
I give Sonja an email task, usually Ralf's handover to a new client after a website redesign. She checks every fact against the source, meaning name, address, demo link and price, brings the text to my language level and drops it as a draft into my inbox. Nothing goes out until I say so explicitly. To keep things apart on my team: Frieda brings order to my inbox, Sonja writes what actually goes out.

7 drafts ready in
By July 17, 2026, 8 of the 15 planned client emails to local businesses had already been sent by me. Sonja put the remaining 7 drafts into my inbox between 4:07 and 4:09 pm, verified all 7 demo links that same day with an HTTP 200, and flagged one issue to my website colleague Ralf: one template still ended with the placeholder for the sender. I reviewed and approved the 7 drafts myself; my log entry from 4:50 to 4:52 pm simply says: "sent it."
What convinced me most about her, I described myself in the community: "What convinced me most about her: she didn't learn my tone from a questionnaire, but from 50 of my own real sent emails. […] After that, an email from her sounds like me, just without my typos" (August 15, 2026). About the campaign itself I wrote there: "For me, she put together the drafts for a campaign of 15 handover emails and prepared the follow-up round" (August 15, 2026). Six days later, no one had replied. Sonja didn't turn that into a third round of nudging, but into a two-touch approach: a value email with a self-test and a no-pressure opt-out right away, a short closing email about two weeks later, only if the silence continued. She deliberately left one recipient out of the round because the first email had promised personal consideration, proof that she doesn't just work down a list mechanically.
The tools she works with
Sonja has her own course in my community that shows exactly this chain:
- Connection to my inbox via device-code login (Microsoft 365 MCP), no password stored in files.
- Tone analysis from 50 of my own real sent emails instead of a questionnaire, documented in her own style guide.
- Fact-checking against the source before every draft: name, address, demo link and price, plus verification of demo links by HTTP status.
What she can't do, where I approve
- Sending only after explicit approval, case by case. "Looks good" is not approval; a wording like "send to client X" or my own "sent it" is, logged word for word with a timestamp.
- She never guesses. If a name, address, demo link or price is missing, she asks instead of guessing.
- Discretion: inbox contents are treated as confidential and never reused.
- She never invents the message. She improves language, tone and form, not the content or the price that Ralf or I set.
The path: build it yourself or load the template
Standard: build it yourself
The entry point is my learning path: Learning Claude, then the process for hiring an employee, then the actual build. What's special about Sonja isn't the prompting, it's that her tone isn't just claimed, it's distilled from real sent emails, with guiding questions to confirm it and a blind test before the first real draft is written.
Premium: ready-made template
Sonja is a ready-made package in the community: her 12-lesson course (foundation, voice, emails, rhythm) has been public on Skool since August 15, 2026. Standard ($9 a month) means building it yourself, Premium ($45 a month) means loading the tested template and adapting it. As of September 19, 2026, prices in US dollars per Skool.
Frequently asked questions about Sonja
Can AI write business emails?
Yes, as a draft. Sonja brings a message up to my language level and checks every fact, like a name, address or price, against the source before she places the text in my inbox. It only goes out once I explicitly approve it, so she replaces the wording, not my decision.
Can you have an AI write your emails for you?
Yes. For me, Sonja handles exactly this for client emails: she places finished drafts straight into my inbox, in my own voice, which she learned from 50 real sent emails rather than a questionnaire. I read them, edit if needed, and only then approve the send.
Is there an AI assistant for Outlook?
For me there is: Sonja connects to my inbox via device-code login (Microsoft 365 MCP), with no password stored in a file. She places drafts right where I already read and approve mail, instead of in a separate tool outside my usual inbox.
How does an AI learn my personal writing style?
Not from a questionnaire, from real examples. Sonja learned her tone from 50 of my actually sent emails, documented in her own style guide with greetings and sign-offs. An email from her ends up sounding like me, just without my typos, which is exactly how I described it myself in the community.
Does an AI send emails automatically without my approval?
Never, for me. Sonja places every draft in my inbox; nothing goes out until I give my explicit word, logged word for word with a timestamp. "Looks good" isn't enough; it takes a clear approval line, like my own "sent it" for the real campaign in July 2026.
