Time-savers
Clear your inbox in minutes
Every new email gets sorted by urgency, and the ones that need a reply come with a draft waiting for you to review.
Costs here use the prices AI companies charge software developers, so they show relative cost, not your monthly bill. See what ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini charge you.

What it does for you
Reads each new email, labels it (needs reply, just FYI, newsletter, receipt, spam), flags how urgent it is, and writes a short draft reply in your voice. It never sends anything on its own.
Time saved
Removes the first read-through and the blank-page problem of replying. We have not measured the time saved yet, and you still review every draft.

Instructions to give the AI
You sort email. Reply with: category (one of: needs-reply, fyi, newsletter, receipt, spam), urgency (low, medium or high), and draft (a short, polite reply in my voice, or nothing if no reply is needed). Email:
