Steps
Open Gemini in your browser and sign in with your Google account. Look for the skills or personalization area where Write Like Me is listed.
Create the skill and give it samples of your writing from your sent box. Pick emails that sound like you, not ones written by someone else.
Mix the samples. Include a short reply, a polite decline and a longer message so the skill picks up your range of tone and length.
Save the skill and give it a name you will remember, so you can call it in any chat later.
Start a new chat and call the skill by name before you type anything else.
Paste the email you need to answer, then add a one-line note such as "decline this politely" or "say yes and ask for the date".
Read the draft before sending. Check names, dates, numbers and any promises, then edit anything that does not sound like you.
Tips and common mistakes
Use recent sent emails as samples so the skill matches how you write now, not how you wrote years ago.
Keep the one-line note short and specific. A vague note gives a vague reply.
Leave out samples that contain client names, prices or private details you would not want repeated.
The draft is a starting point, so never send it without reading it once.
Questions
Do I have to paste my emails every time?
No. The skill keeps your style once it is set up. You just call it in a new chat and paste the email you need to answer.
Will the reply be ready to send straight away?
Usually close, but check the facts first. Names, dates and details in the draft can be wrong, so read it before you hit send.
Can I use it for messages other than email?
Yes, the same style can be used for chat replies and short messages. Call the skill and paste the text you want answered.
