A Cheat Sheet of One-Line Email Requests That Actually Work

Disclosure: I'm the developer of Maildoer. This post is about how people use it.

Maildoer works by email: you send a task (with attachments if you have them) to [e-mail], and the result comes back as a reply in the same thread. After watching lots of requests come in, I noticed that the best results come from short, specific one-liners. Here's a cheat sheet.

Slides

• "Turn the attached spreadsheet into an 8-slide deck with charts, one key takeaway per slide."
• "Make a 5-slide intro deck about our product from this PDF, with images."

Analysis

• "Write a one-page analysis of this sales file: top items, trends, and 3 risks."
• "Compare Q2 and Q3 in the attached report and explain the biggest change."

Summaries

• "Summarize this 40-page document into 10 bullets for a busy manager."
• "List every decision, owner and deadline in this meeting transcript."

Translation

• "Translate the attached contract into Spanish, keep the formatting."
• "Translate this email into English and tell me what they're asking for."

Replies

• "Draft a polite reply declining the offer but keeping the door open."
• "Draft a reply in Japanese confirming Tuesday 3pm."

Tips

1. Say the format you want (deck, one page, bullets, reply draft).
2. Say the audience ("for my boss", "for a customer").
3. One task per email gets the cleanest result.

It works in many languages and needs no app. Maildoer is officially live, and every email address gets 100 credits on first use to try every feature (a welcome allowance, not unlimited free use).
