Create a Profile

3 min read·Updated May 9, 2026

Your default profile

When you first open Aeralis, you go through a short onboarding with two optional fields:

  • About you — a sentence or two about who you are and what you write about
  • How you write — a short hint about your tone, sign-offs, and length

Both are optional. Whatever you fill in (or skip) creates your default profile named My Profile. You can edit it any time from /profiles.

That's it for the Free plan — one profile, no setup steps beyond the two optional fields.

Creating additional profiles (Pro+)

If you're on the Pro plan or above, you can create more profiles to handle different contexts. For example: one for client work, one for internal team comms, one for personal email.

Each additional profile starts from a template. Templates are pre-written starting points for common contexts — you pick one and customize from there.

The available templates are:

  • Customer Support — Handling tickets and customer questions
  • Customer Success — Relationship management and check-ins
  • Sales Outreach — Prospecting and follow-ups
  • Executive — Leadership communication
  • Recruiting — Candidate outreach and scheduling
  • Account Management — Client relationship emails
  • Internal Comms — Team and company-wide messages
  • Personal — Everyday personal email

From the web dashboard

  1. Go to aeralis.ai/profiles
  2. Click + New Profile
  3. Pick a template
  4. The profile is created with sensible defaults — you can edit it immediately

From the Gmail add-on

  1. Open Gmail and click the Aeralis icon
  2. Go to Manage Profiles
  3. Tap New Profile and pick a template

Customizing a profile

After creation, you can edit:

  • Name — Give it something descriptive (e.g., "Work — Client A", "Recruiting — Engineering")
  • Icon — An emoji for quick visual recognition
  • About you — Context about who you are in this profile's scenario; Aeralis uses this when drafting
  • How you write — A short hint about your tone and style for this profile
  • Grounding tools — see below

There's no activation step. New profiles are ready to use immediately.

Grounding tools

Add external knowledge to your emails:

  • Context URLs — Websites the AI can reference (e.g., company site, documentation)
  • Google Search — Include up-to-date information from the web
  • Google Maps — Location-aware recommendations
  • Knowledge — Reference your uploaded documents (Business plan and above)

Setting a default profile

Aeralis uses your default profile when you open it. To change which profile is the default:

  1. Go to your profiles list
  2. Click Set as Default on the profile you want

Tips

  • Use distinct profiles for distinct contexts. Aeralis can learn your "work" voice and your "personal" voice separately if you separate them.
  • Use descriptive names so you can quickly pick the right profile in the compose flow.
  • Set a "How you write" hint if you want to lock in tone immediately — Aeralis will still keep learning from threads on top of the hint.
