AI Message Editing & Smart Reply Suggestions

Written by Camila

AI-powered messaging enables you to edit, refine, and respond to messages more quickly, directly within the platform.


What is AI Message Editing?

AI Message Editing allows you to refine, rewrite, or adjust your messages directly inside Spear. It's available in:

  1. The Messages editor

  2. The Suggestions page


What are Smart Reply Suggestions?

When a prospect replies, Spear generates AI-powered reply suggestions based on the conversation context. You can use them as-is, edit them, or write your own message.

How to get started?

  1. Set your tone of voice so Spear sounds like you

  2. Open any message in the Messages editor or Suggestions page

  3. Click Ask AI to refine or draft your message in context

For the full walkthrough of setting your tone of voice and messaging instructions, see How to Set Your Tone of Voice & Messaging Instructions.

How AI Message Editing helps you

With AI Message Editing, you can:

  • Edit and iterate on messages where outreach happens

  • Adjust tone, length, or CTA without starting over

  • Keep references to prospect data and triggers

  • Stay in one workflow from draft to submission

This makes writing and optimizing messages faster and easier.


Smart Reply Suggestions (Messages tab)

Spear provides AI-generated suggested replies when responding to messages.

Instead of a single suggestion, you'll see three reply options to choose from, helping you move conversations forward more effectively.

Types of suggested replies

There are two types of reply suggestions:

  • Push for a meeting

  • Continue the conversation

Spear automatically determines which type of reply is more appropriate based on the conversation context.

How it works

  • If a meeting is relevant:

    • You'll see 1 "Push for a meeting" option

    • And 2 "Continue conversation" options

  • If a meeting is not relevant:

    • You'll see 3 "Continue conversation" options

The suggestions are ordered based on relevance and performance.

First, Select the Messages Tab

  • Suggestion 1: "Push for a meeting." - shown when a prospect shows strong interest or engagement.

  • Suggestion 2: "Continue conversation" - shown when a meeting may be relevant.

  • Suggestion 3: "Continue conversation" - shown when a meeting is not relevant.

How to use it

  1. Open a conversation in the Messages tab

  2. Click AI Reply to generate a suggested response

  3. Review and edit the suggestion

  4. Click Send when ready


Improving suggestions over time

When you send a message that matches one of the suggested replies:

  • Spear records which type of suggestion was used

  • This helps improve future recommendations and ranking

Key takeaway

  • Edit and refine messages directly inside Spear with AI Message Editing

  • Choose from smart, context-aware reply suggestions

  • Let Spear guide when it makes sense to push for a meeting

  • Stay in control while speeding up your messaging workflow

AI messaging is designed to help you work faster — you decide what to send.
