Airmail Integration

The short answer: open Airmail, click compose or reply, position cursor in the message body, press ⌃+⌥+R, speak for 30-90 seconds, and AICHE inserts your formatted email ready to send.

Typing 20-30 detailed emails daily creates wrist fatigue and cognitive overhead when switching between technical work and professional communication.

1. Open Airmail on your Mac.
2. Click Compose for new email or Reply to existing thread.
3. Fill in recipient and subject, then click into message body.
4. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
5. Speak your email naturally (example: "thanks for sending the technical requirements document, I've reviewed the API specifications and have a few clarifications needed, first regarding authentication will we use OAuth 2.0 or API keys for third party integrations, second about rate limiting what's the expected request volume so we can set appropriate thresholds, third the database schema shows a users table but the entity relationship diagram mentions accounts are these the same or separate concepts, let me know and I can start on the implementation plan this week").
6. Press the hotkey again - AICHE transcribes, applies formatting, and inserts the text.
7. Review, add formatting if needed, and send.

Heads-up: Airmail supports rich text formatting including bold, italics, and lists. AICHE inserts plain text, so add formatting manually after dictation using Airmail's formatting toolbar.

The pro-tip: enable Clean Language in AICHE settings before dictating professional emails. Your casual speech gets converted to workplace-appropriate text automatically, maintaining professionalism without overthinking word choice while speaking.

Result: writing 10 detailed emails that takes 45 minutes of typing becomes 12 minutes of dictation, and you'll send more thorough responses with better context instead of rushed brief messages.

Do this now: open Airmail, click compose, press your hotkey, and dictate one complete email you've been putting off because typing the full explanation felt like too much effort.
