how it works
Paste. Pick. Send.
step 01
Paste the message
Drop in the client’s email, Slack message, or text — and a line of context if it helps. That’s all Respond needs.
step 02
Confirm the mode
Respond reads what’s actually going on and picks a strategy mode — the same five the playbooks teach. Agree, or switch modes and watch the draft change with it.
step 03
Copy your reply
The draft lands in your phrasing, not a robot’s. One click copies it to your clipboard — paste it wherever the conversation lives.
built for the hard ones
The messages you rewrite five times
Routine replies don’t need help. Respond is for the ones where the wrong word costs you money, a weekend, or the relationship.
“While you’re in there…”
Scope pushes disguised as small favors — say yes to the work, no to doing it free.
The weekend “quick call”
Off-hours pressure that becomes the new normal the moment you answer it once.
The invoice going quiet
Payment nudges that stay warm on day 5 and get firm by day 30 — without burning the bridge.
“Can you do it for less?”
Discount asks and budget squeezes — hold your rate without sounding defensive.
Feedback with teeth
The angry email, the vague “it’s just not working” — de-escalate and redirect in one reply.
The conversation you’re avoiding
Raising your rate, resetting terms, or ending it — the emails that sit in drafts for weeks.
in your voice
Sounds like you.
Not like AI.
Paste a few emails you’ve actually sent, once, during setup. Respond learns how you open, how you close, how direct you get — and every draft after that reads like you on a good day.
"Thank you for reaching out. I appreciate your continued trust in my services. Unfortunately, I must respectfully decline to proceed without a formal amendment to our agreement…"
"Happy to add those pages — they're new scope though, so let me send a quick change order first. Should have it to you by end of day. Sound good?"
the framework underneath
Five strategy modes. The same ones the playbooks teach.
Respond doesn’t guess at a tone — it picks a strategy. Every draft is built in one of the five modes from the ClearBound playbooks, so what you send is a move, not just words.
Something's ambiguous — surface it before it becomes a problem. Questions, not accusations.
You both want the same outcome — get the process back on the same page, warmly.
A line is being crossed — name it, hold it, and offer the paid path forward.
The pressure is real — protect the work, the invoice, or yourself, on the record.
The relationship is costing more than it pays — leave cleanly and professionally.

faq
Is my client's message data safe?
Anything you paste in is used only to generate the draft you asked for — it isn’t published, shared, or used to train anything.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
A general chatbot writes a polite email. Respond makes a strategic move — it reads the power dynamics, picks one of five named strategy modes, keeps the tone inside safe limits, and writes it the way you actually write. No prompt engineering, no “make it less formal” back-and-forth.
Do I need the playbooks to use it?
No — Respond works on its own. The playbooks teach you the framework so you understand why each move works, and owning one cuts your subscription in half. Most people use both together.
What does "in your voice" actually mean?
During setup you paste a few emails you’ve really sent. Respond builds a voice profile from them — your greetings, phrasing, and level of directness — and applies it to every draft. You can update or reset it anytime.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Respond is billed monthly with no contract — cancel whenever you don’t need it that month, and come back when you do.
The next hard email doesn’t have to take an hour.
Respond is live. Paste the hard email, get a reply in your voice in seconds — and if you own a playbook, every tool is 50% off forever.
