Draft AI-written replies to every new email in Gmail

When a new email arrives, AI drafts a reply and saves it in Gmail so you can review, edit, and send.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Your inbox fills up faster than you can respond, and every reply means stopping what you're doing to reread the message and figure out what to say. Important emails sit unanswered for hours while you catch up on everything else.

Who it fits

Busy professionals or support teams who want a head start on email replies without losing control over what gets sent.

How it works

  1. A new email arrives in your inbox
  2. AI reads the message and writes a relevant reply
  3. The reply is addressed to the original sender with the subject line prefixed 'Re:'
  4. The draft is saved in your Gmail account
  5. You review, edit, and send it whenever you're ready
What you get

Reply drafts already waiting in your inbox

Every new email gets a drafted reply waiting in Gmail, so you can review it and send with a click.

What you get

A ready-to-send draft reply waiting in your Gmail drafts folder for every new email.

What you need

An email account, a Gmail account for drafts, and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
