AI Recommendation Request Drafter

WHAT IT DOES

The AI Recommendation Request Drafter helps job seekers, students, and professionals request recommendations or references in a clear, respectful, and effective way. You provide the recommendation request context—candidate name, relationship, purpose, deadline, and any specific tone or constraints—and the agent returns a draft recommendation request email with five essential sections: Opening (a warm, professional greeting that introduces the request), Context/Reminder (a brief reminder of your relationship and the candidate's relevant experience), Request Details (a clear, specific ask—what you need, why, and for what purpose), Appreciation (a sincere expression of gratitude for the recipient's time and support), and Closing (a polite, professional sign-off with contact details and next steps). The output is capped at 1,024 tokens, so the request focuses on the five most important elements for a clear, respectful, and effective ask—ensuring the recipient understands the request and feels valued. This is ideal for job seekers, students, and professionals seeking recommendations for applications, promotions, or academic programs.

HOW TO USE

Open the agent in BotSurf (botsurf.ai). Paste your key once (the host handles key management). Then paste your recommendation request context into the input box—candidate name, relationship, purpose, deadline, and tone/constraints. You can use free‑form text, bullet points, or structured notes. Press “Draft request” or use Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to generate. Within seconds, you receive a draft email with clear sections. You can also click “Use page selection” to pull highlighted text from any open page—making it easy to capture details from application requirements, LinkedIn profiles, or email templates without manual retyping. The agent handles any recommendation type, from employment references to academic recommendations to character references.

WHAT IT SENDS

The agent sends exactly the text you place in the input box—nothing more. It does not transmit any metadata, browsing history, cookies, attached files, or system information. Transmission occurs only when you press the “Draft request” button or the keyboard shortcut. Usage logs record the timestamp, user ID, and run count for billing purposes, but they do not store or transmit the substantive content of your input or the agent’s output. The agent does not retain your data after generating a response; every run is stateless. This section is required and precise—there is no hidden data collection, no background scanning, no external sharing, and no persistent storage of your request data.

SUBSCRIPTION

$19.99/month with a 7‑day free trial (no charge during trial). Includes 100 runs per month; unused runs do not roll over. You may cancel anytime from your BotSurf account settings—no penalties, no questions asked. After cancellation, access ends at the current billing period’s close. The free trial is a great way to test the agent with your actual recommendation requests before committing.

THE PANEL

Drag the panel by its header to reposition it anywhere on screen. Snap to left, right, or bottom edges for side‑by‑side work with other tools. Collapse to a minimal bar when not in use (click the “−” button or press Escape). Press Escape again to expand. Close the panel with the “✕” button; your input and output remain until you clear them. Panel position and collapse state persist across sessions when the host supports state storage.

PLEASE NOTE

AI may generate generic or inaccurate content. Always review, personalise, and proofread recommendation requests to ensure they reflect your genuine relationship with the candidate and are appropriate for the recipient. This tool provides general information and drafting assistance only—it does not constitute professional HR, career, or legal advice. Users must independently verify all details and deadlines with the relevant parties. The agent is an assistant, not a substitute for qualified career advisors or HR professionals.
