Want to flag something before it gets further: a few of these asks are outside what we originally scoped. Happy to fold them in — just want to align on timeline and budget first.

How it works

#01

Pick a scenario

Decline unpaid work. Push back on scope creep. Postpone a deadline. Eight ready-made starting points.

#02

Tune the tone

Warm, neutral, or firm. Add one line of context — the relationship, the stakes, whatever matters.

#03

Copy one of three variants

Soft, direct, neutral. Pick the one that sounds like you. Paste. Done. No followups needed.

Frequently asked

Is it really free?
Yes. politeno is part of the Dekimu free satellite tier — no card, no trial, no contracts. Dekimu Hub saves your default tone and language. That's it.
Does it use AI?
Today, no — drafts come from carefully written templates. AI tuning that mirrors your voice ships on the Dekimu Pro tier later in 2026.
Will it sound like me?
Pick the closest of three tones, paste it, then edit. politeno gets you 90% of the way; you still own the last 10%. Read before sending.
Does it store my emails?
Generation is stateless — drafts never leave your browser, never hit our database. Even when signed in, only your default tone and language are saved.
EN and ES?
English at launch. Spanish drafts are written and waiting; the language toggle ships once the ecosystem-wide i18n re-lands.
