god damn you for thinking of this idea before me

I spend a ridiculous amount of time at my job on emails.

I use claude and chatGPT all the time but I just don't see how language models can help me with email.

Typing the words is never the bottleneck.

The problem is trying to express what needs to be expressed with such clarity as to not cause any misunderstanding and then more email.

Summarizing an old, long thread could have some value but that is such an edge case.

I would be the main customer for this type of product but I just don't see much value in it at all.

Interesting. The novelty here seems to be in the method of interacting with the LLM vs. innovating at the level of the AI workflow. My guess is each email client is essentially just given a custom prompt? Like others are saying, perhaps this can be popular with legacy business, where people don't want to go to a chat window?
