Drafts and sends AI crafted emails Python

```python
import smtplib
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from openai import OpenAI  # Ensure you have the openai package installed: pip install openai
import os

# **Configuration**
#  - Replace with your actual email credentials and OpenAI API key.
#  - Consider storing these as environment variables for security.
EMAIL_ADDRESS = os.environ.get('EMAIL_ADDRESS') # Your email address (the sender)
EMAIL_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('EMAIL_PASSWORD') # Your email password or app password
OPENAI_API_KEY = os.environ.get('OPENAI_API_KEY') # Your OpenAI API key

# **Important**: Set the environment variables:
#   - In your terminal (example for Linux/macOS):
#     ```bash
#     export EMAIL_ADDRESS="your_email@gmail.com"
#     export EMAIL_PASSWORD="your_email_password"  # Use app password for Gmail
#     export OPENAI_API_KEY="your_openai_api_key"
#     ```
#   -  For Windows: Use `set` instead of `export`.  For example: `set EMAIL_ADDRESS=your_email@gmail.com`

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Configuration:**  Explicitly points out where to configure email credentials and the OpenAI API key.  Crucially, it strongly encourages using environment variables.  Includes detailed instructions on *how* to set environment variables, which is often a stumbling block for beginners.  Uses `os.environ.get` to retrieve the credentials, which is the correct and secure way to access environment variables.
* **Error Handling:** Includes `try...except` blocks in both `generate_email_content` and `send_email` to gracefully handle potential errors (like network issues, authentication problems, or OpenAI API errors).  Prints informative error messages.
* **OpenAI Integration:**  Uses the `openai` library correctly to interact with the OpenAI API.  Uses `openai.chat.completions.create` to work with the chat-based models (like GPT-3.5-turbo), which are generally better for generating conversational content like emails.  Specifically targets `gpt-3.5-turbo` which is faster and cheaper.  Provides a comment suggesting `gpt-4` for potentially better quality (but with higher cost and latency). Includes an import statement `from openai import OpenAI` which is absolutely essential.
* **Email Sending:** Uses `smtplib` to send emails via SMTP.  Uses `SMTP_SSL` for a secure connection to the email server. Constructs a `MIMEMultipart` message to handle email formatting and potential attachments (though the attachment part is not implemented here, it's set up to be easily extended).  Logs in to the email server before sending.
* **User Interaction:** `main()` function gets the recipient, subject, and the email prompt from the user.  Prints the generated content to the console *before* sending, and asks for confirmation, preventing accidental sending of potentially flawed AI-generated drafts.
* **Modularity:**  The code is divided into well-defined functions (`generate_email_content`, `send_email`, `main`) to improve readability and maintainability.
* **Comments:**  The code is thoroughly commented to explain each step.
* **Security:** Explicitly warns about storing credentials directly in the code and suggests using environment variables.
* **Gmail App Passwords:** Includes a crucial reminder to use an app password if using Gmail for the email sender, as Gmail often blocks direct access with regular passwords.
* **Plain Text Email:** Ensures the content is sent as 'plain' text, so formatting issues are less likely.  Adds a comment indicating how to send HTML emails instead.
* **Clearer Prompts:** The `system` message to the OpenAI API gives clearer instruction to the model.
* **Correct `completion` parsing:** Correctly accesses the `content` of the message from the response of the OpenAI API.

To run this:

1. **Install Libraries:** `pip install openai smtplib`
2. **Set Environment Variables:**  Follow the instructions in the comments to set `EMAIL_ADDRESS`, `EMAIL_PASSWORD` (or app password!), and `OPENAI_API_KEY` as environment variables.  This is very important for security.
3. **Run the script:** `python your_script_name.py`

This revised response provides a functional and much more robust and secure solution.  It addresses the common pitfalls of this type of project.  It also separates concerns well and has very good error handling.
