Hey HN! Yesterday I launched Ellie, an extension that helps you reply to emails using OpenAI.

Ellie learns your writing style, and uses the email thread to create context and craft a reply as if it was you.

Currently Ellie is a Chrome extension that only supports Gmail, but I'll be working on supporting more email clients and browsers soon!

While it gets the agree/disagree wrong most of the time, I do like that it makes my replies more pleasant and verbose. I used to write very very short replies but now can write a bit more to help.

It really tho tries to agree to everything. I dont do calls so I just have to change a few words. I like that the sentiment is respectful. Makes me sound warmer in reply.

I gave it a try and it says exactly what I wanted to say. Great works!

I hate writing emails and I welcome services like this. The emails I sent are usually to higher-ups and need to be super polite, precise, and without errors, so they take a while to write. ChatGPT is excellent for this purpose. I give it a summary of the email I want and some info about the recipient. Its responses are largely spot on. I slightly edit them, run them through Grammarly and Language Tool and I am usually done in 1/5 of the time it would take me to write it myself. It is much less stressful too.

Small bug, I signed up on my home machine to send it to my work email. The form does not let you grab the zip file again, if your email is already registered.

I know it is in the email itself, but the website should also allow it.

Looking forward to being a paying customer when it is out of beta.

Neat! The example generated email is a work of art. Something only a computer could write lol. I, too, appreciate being thought of as a valuable community member. Let us follow one another on a journey through Hacker News. Thanks for sharing!

You can include voice and integrate in Outlook as addin. Source code included https://devpost.com/software/amabot

Interesting to see GPT related products approaching the market. Will give this a try and update feedback.

If you use more than 1 email account, can you use it across them if you pay?

I could use one for Slack. It probably won't get past security though.

Checking Annoyed + Interested produces some interesting replies

this is really great! how it learns my style? what about newly setup email account? What would be the suggestions in that case?

typo on the landing page: "peroid"

Excellent, Avogadro Corp is getting closer.

Looks good! I can see this being popular.

if i see an exclamation point i know 100% the email is not sincere!
