Context-aware drafting
Ghostwriter reads the thread, form, or sentence around the cursor and chooses whether to reply, continue, answer, or compose instead of requiring a written prompt.

Ghostwriter is a Windows desktop drafting tool that reads the context around your cursor and proposes what to write next in your voice. It helps professionals compose replies, continuations, form answers, and other text without writing a prompt.
O que é Ghostwriter?
Ghostwriter is an AI drafting feature in the MyHandler desktop app for Windows 10 and 11. It reads the content around a text cursor—such as a message thread, form, or unfinished sentence—and determines what text would fit next. A double-tap of the hotkey inserts the resulting draft at the cursor for review.
It is intended for context-heavy writing where creating a prompt would add extra work. Ghostwriter can draft replies, continue text, answer questions in blank fields, or compose a context-appropriate message. It never sends the result itself: users can read, edit, delete, or send the inserted text.
O que Ghostwriter pode fazer?
Drafts in the current text field
The generated text appears directly at the cursor in the application already being used, including mail clients, Slack, browser forms, and comment boxes.
Conversation-role recognition
It maps messages to their senders, identifies the user's handle, and tracks who asked whom for what so the draft addresses the relevant party.
Calendar cross-check for proposed times
When a reply proposes a meeting time, Ghostwriter checks the next two weeks of a connected calendar before producing the draft. Other workflows do not require a calendar.
User-controlled sending
Ghostwriter only inserts text. It does not send messages automatically, leaving the user to review, change, delete, or send the final result.
Local screen capture
The screen context around the cursor is captured on the user's machine. The assembled context is sent to a cloud model with zero data retention for drafting.
Casos de uso
“Replying to message threads”
Place the cursor in a reply field and double-tap the hotkey to draft an answer based on the conversation, without summarizing the thread in a separate prompt.
“Answering browser forms and comment boxes”
Use the surrounding question or discussion as context when a form or comment field needs a substantive written response.
“Continuing unfinished writing”
Put the cursor at the end of a partial sentence or passage and let Ghostwriter continue it from the exact stopping point.
“Scheduling in a conversation”
When a response involves proposing a time, connect a calendar so Ghostwriter can cross-check availability in the next two weeks before drafting.
Perguntas frequentes

It is described as working in text fields across applications, including mail clients, Slack, browser forms, and comment boxes. The essential requirement is an active cursor where the draft should be inserted.

No. It inserts the draft at the cursor, and the user must review, edit, delete, or send it.
What information does Ghostwriter use to write a draft?
