Less rewriting. More sending.

A floating AI assistant that lives in Gmail and Outlook. Reads your threads. Writes like you do. Inserts drafts with a single click.

01

Reads your inbox context

Open any email. thread. reads the full thread — every message, every reply — and drafts based on what was actually said. No copy-pasting, no re-explaining.

02

Writes in your voice

Paste 3–5 of your past emails once. After that, every draft matches your rhythm, vocabulary, and opening/closing patterns. No more generic AI slop.

03

One click to reply

"Reply & insert" opens the reply box itself, places the draft above your signature, and positions your cursor. You review, you send.

04

Seven modes for every kind of email

Quick replies, follow-ups, tough conversations, cold outreach, meeting recaps, three-variant drafts. Each tuned for the job.

05

Streams in real time

Drafts appear word-by-word as they're generated. No loading spinner. See the tone and direction immediately.
