This is a very smart idea. Business writing is its own set of genres and sub-genres. They range from consultant'ese to imperative command emails, with variants of passive voiced academicians and hyperbolic marketing speak.

Given the model, how large of a corpus would you need to mimic a style? e.g. If I had a target customer and a bunch of their emails, blog posts, or social media comments, how much data would I need to improve my pitch to them?

Would use this as a CRM plugin.

Glad you like the idea! At the moment, the model requires a fairly large amount of data, which is why the app only offers large well-defined cohorts to select from (e.g., accountants, retirees). I like your idea though, and it may be possible to use some of transfer learning to work on smaller groups of people or even individual customers. I'll try to implement that at some point in the future.
