As the world leans deeper into the world of artificial intelligence, developers are exploring new ways to automate our lives and free up time spent on mundane tasks. We've seen this implemented in our domestic life with smart home devices and facial recognition, but Ellie is a browser extension that's leaping to the forefront in delivering automated email replies that sound exactly like the ones you wrote.
Ellie is a browser extension for Gmail that learns your habits and writing style to reply to your emails without sounding too robotic or impersonal. Ellie understands many languages, so don't worry if you're multilingual. Users can tell Ellie the intended tone of their email (casual, polite, or annoyed) and whether they find the email interesting, and the reply will fit perfectly into the context of the conversation.
Currently, Ellie is only available for Gmail via the Chrome or Firefox browser extension, but the developers hope to broaden their horizons to cover more email providers in the near future. Ellie is free to try forever, but subscription plans are available for those who are stuck in a rut with their inbox. Ellie allows you to reply to up to 100 emails a day.
Ellie was only recently released, but it's already getting positive reviews. A user named Richard Brus wrote, “I love this extension. It helps me get through emails at the start of my day. I can't wait to see what's in store for future releases. Great email productivity extension!”
While we don't believe autoresponders will be the right solution for all emails, we do believe the technology can be useful for basic information and communication, and we foresee it being just a matter of time before Ellie can pull information from chat, calendar, and other third-party platforms to quickly answer frequently asked questions.
Spending an hour or two every morning answering emails may soon be a thing of the past. Why not try an AI assistant like Ellie?
