PERSONALIZED BLIP

Blip writes the way you do

Tell Blip your name and how you like to write, once. Every message it drafts for you follows your rules.

Your name

When you say “Hey Blip” to draft an email, Blip signs it off with your name. Leave it blank and Blip uses the name on your account.

Your rules (custom prompt)

Write your style in plain words, up to 300 characters. Blip follows it whenever it writes for you.

“I’m a product manager. Keep emails short and use British spelling.”

Your rules are skipped in code editors and terminals, so code comes out exactly as you said it.

To set it up: open Blip and click Personalized Blip in the sidebar.

MacWhisper lets you write your own AI dictation prompts. Blip adds your name to the emails it drafts for you in Action Mode.
