Professor Cold Email Drafter

A good professor cold email is short, specific, and easy to answer. It should prove the sender has done enough homework to be credible, while avoiding a long autobiography or generic praise.

Use this when

• The user wants to draft, review, shorten, or personalize an email to a professor or PI.
• The user is asking about PhD supervision, lab openings, research internships, RA roles, rotations, or meetings.
• The user has professor-fit notes and wants an outreach message.
• The user needs a follow-up after no response.
• The user wants subject lines or alternative tones for academic outreach.

Do not use this when

• The user has not yet figured out what the professor currently works on. Use apply-research-direction-mapper first.
• The user wants a full SOP or application essay. Use apply-sop-writer.
• The user is comparing many faculty or programs. Use apply-program-fit-mapper.
• The user needs recommender strategy. Use apply-recommendation-letter-strategist.
