# AI Drafts

> Orbis generates personalized email drafts using AI, grounded in your full relationship context with each contact.

AI Drafts lets Orbis write email replies and outreach messages for you. Each draft is personalized using your full relationship history — past emails, calendar events, notes, and enrichment data for that contact.

## How AI drafts work

When you request a draft, Orbis:

1. Reads the conversation thread (for replies) or the contact's full profile (for new outreach)
2. Pulls in relationship context — email history, calendar events, notes, interaction signals
3. Generates a personalized draft using AI
4. Saves it for your review before sending

You always review and edit before sending — AI drafts are never sent automatically.

## Generating a reply draft

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a thread">
    Select an email thread in the Inbox.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a draft">
    Click **Generate reply** in the thread toolbar or row action menu. Orbis reads the conversation and writes a contextual reply.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and edit">
    The compose window opens with the AI-generated draft. Edit as needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send">
    Click **Send** when you're ready. The reply is sent via your connected Gmail account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Generating drafts for contacts

You can generate outreach drafts for individual contacts or in batch:

### Single contact

From a contact's profile, click **Generate AI Draft**. Choose a goal template:

| Template          | Use case                                 |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Outreach**      | First-time introduction or cold outreach |
| **Ask Question**  | Request information or advice            |
| **Give Feedback** | Share feedback or a recommendation       |
| **Re-engage**     | Reconnect after a period of silence      |

### Batch drafts

Select up to 20 contacts in the contacts list, then choose **Generate Drafts** from the bulk actions toolbar. Each contact gets a personalized draft based on their individual profile and your relationship history.

## The Generated Drafts folder

All AI-generated drafts are saved to the **Generated Drafts** folder in your Inbox sidebar. From here you can:

* Review each draft before sending
* Edit the AI-generated content
* Send individual drafts or use **Send All Drafts**
* Discard drafts you don't want to send

## Draft statuses

| Status        | Meaning                                     |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Draft**     | Generated and ready for review              |
| **Sending**   | Currently being sent                        |
| **Sent**      | Delivered successfully                      |
| **Failed**    | Delivery failed — check the error and retry |
| **Discarded** | You chose not to send this draft            |

## Drafts in campaigns

When you add contacts to a campaign, Orbis automatically generates a draft for each contact based on the campaign's goal. These drafts appear in the campaign's contact table and follow the same review-before-send flow.

See [Campaigns](/campaigns) for details on campaign-specific draft generation.

<Tip>
  AI drafts preserve both the original generated text and your edits separately. If you edit a draft and want to start over, you can revert to the AI-generated version.
