Waking up to pre-drafted email replies in my exact tone is a game changer.
Drafts sound surprisingly natural, though I always double-check before sending.
Saves me at least an hour every morning clearing my inbox.
Extension occasionally lags when switching between multiple Gmail accounts.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Connect Gmail or Outlook and find replies already drafted in your voice and in the correct thread, ready to skim and send.
Ellie observes your openers, sign-offs and phrasing from sent mail, so no two replies read like a template.
Describe a category in a plain sentence and Ellie files to it, decides which emails get drafted, and can turn action items into tasks with due dates.
Assign a tone to each category and Ellie picks the right voice per email automatically — most tools make you switch by hand.
Ellie Docs writes and keeps rewriting your help centre from your website and code, real screenshots included.
Ellie Desk answers customers from your docs and checks their account and error data to hand your team an investigated brief.
Ellie is an AI email assistant built around a deliberately passive premise: you should not have to open a new app to get your inbox handled. You connect Gmail or Outlook through a browser extension (there is also a native Outlook desktop add-in on Microsoft AppSource), and overnight Ellie reads the threads that genuinely need a reply and writes drafts for each one. By morning they sit in your drafts folder, in the right thread, in your voice — no prompt to type and no tool to learn.
The learning model is what separates it from template-based reply generators. Ellie reads your sent mail and picks up the small tells that make your writing recognisable: how long your openers run, when you say "cheers" versus "thanks", how you sign off with clients versus friends. Writing patterns are observed rather than prescribed, so replies do not come back identical. On top of that, custom categories decide which emails are drafted, which become tasks and which are left alone, and each category can carry its own reply voice — brisk for finance, warm for sales, patient for support.
For software teams, Ellie extends past the inbox. Ellie Docs turns your website and code into a help centre that is rewritten when you ship a change, screenshots included. Ellie Desk answers customers using those docs plus their account details and recent errors, and packages what it finds — sometimes spanning a payments provider and an error tracker — into a brief your team can act on. A user you've given money to isn't a session ID. They're a person who just watched their payment process twice, and that's the context Ellie leads with.
Open your drafts folder each morning to find replies already written for the threads that needed one, then skim and send.
Set categories for sales enquiries and invoices, and let each one reply in the tone that suits it, with tasks created for anything that needs follow-up.
Generate and continuously refresh a help centre from your site and code, then let the support desk answer from it using real account and error data.
