An open-source framework to turn Manus into your personal email executive assistant. It reads your inbox, consults your personal Knowledge Base, mirrors your exact writing voice, and prepares perfect drafts — ready to send with a single click.
Zero-Send Architecture: This framework operates under a strict security model. The agent will never send an email automatically. It always generates a native Two-Step Card for you to review the draft and press "Send" or "Save to drafts" yourself.
- 🧠 4-Layer Intelligence — Searches for answers first in your business rules (Layer 0), then in the email thread and Google Drive (Layer 1), and finally on the web (Layer 2).
- 🗣️ Personal Voice Engine — A detailed template for Manus to learn your greetings, sign-offs, signature phrases, and anti-vocabulary (words you never want to use).
- 🛡️ Two-Step Card Safety — Clean deliveries. First a one-liner with context/sources, then the native Gmail card to act on.
- 📅 Calendar Integration — Automatically checks your availability and proposes meeting slots when someone requests a call.
- 🏷️ Auto-Labeling — Keeps your inbox clean by tagging every email the agent has already processed.
- 📎 Auto-Attach — Proactively finds and attaches PDFs, teasers, or CVs from Google Drive when the context calls for it.
Follow these steps to install your own Smart Drafts in a Manus project.
- Go to Manus and create a new Project (e.g. "My Smart Drafts").
- Open the
PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.mdfile from this repository. - Copy the text and paste it into the Project instructions field in your Manus project settings.
For the agent to read your inbox and prepare drafts, it needs access to your tools.
- In Manus, make sure the Gmail connector is enabled.
- Make sure the Google Calendar connector is enabled (so it can propose meeting slots).
- (Optional) Enable Google Drive if you want the agent to search for documents or PDFs to attach.
Skills are the operational brain of the agent.
- Ask Manus in the chat: "I want to create two new skills based on some files I'll share with you."
- Upload
/skills/gmail-smart-drafts/SKILL.mdand tell Manus to save it as thegmail-smart-draftsskill. - Upload
/skills/my-personal-voice/SKILL.md. IMPORTANT: Before uploading, open it and fill in all the[...]placeholders with your own style, greetings, and signature phrases. Tell Manus to save it as themy-personal-voiceskill.
For Manus to know what you sell, how you qualify leads, or how to answer FAQs, it needs context.
- Go to the
/project-files/folder in this repository. - Open
CONTEXTO_NEGOCIO.mdandREGLAS_OPERATIVAS.mdand fill them in with your business information. - Upload these files to the Project Files section of your Manus project.
Once configured, simply open your "My Smart Drafts" project in Manus and say:
"Check my inbox and prepare the pending drafts."
What Manus will do:
- Read your unread emails.
- Score and rank them by priority (1 to 10).
- Ask you which one to process first.
- Read your business context and personal voice.
- Present the draft in a native Gmail card, ready to send.

Note: The
project-files/templates are provided in Spanish as they are designed to be filled in by the user with their own business context. The framework itself is language-agnostic — the agent will draft emails in whatever language the incoming email uses.
If you improve the orchestrator or create new context templates (e.g. templates for Lawyers, Investors, Sales teams), feel free to open a Pull Request.
