Can I cc the AI?
Yes you can pretty much do anything. CC, FWD, include humans or many AIs on the email too.

We encrypt data at rest, but obviously we need to send it to a LLM for processing. We make this clear in our privacy policy fwiw.

#13Emails an asynchronous interface is an interesting take on chat AI. Giving out any email address on the main company name sounds risky. Somebody could register hostname@ or ceo@ ? The FAQ should explain who the conversation is shared with. The generic "data is stored [encrypted]" is only about storage. Is an uploaded PDF sent to a third-party, possibly to train the their next version?
Fair points. We have the ability to restrict any address, so shouldn't be much of a concern on our end to shut down ceo@, etc.
We dont use any data for our own training. We send it to Gemini to process the prompt and encrypt it at rest. Having it encrypted at rest allows us to use it as context in your email thread as more replies come in.

I always hated the streaming text responses in the chat interfaces, just seemed like a cynical attention-hack to continuously update the content instead of just returning the answer once it was done, so I think email makes a lot of sense, it especially makes slow-running local models a bit more bearable, instead of watching it type at 20 words per minute, just get back to me when you reach a stop token. Plus it can a…
Agreed, definitely some pros to using LLMs in email vs chat. Feels pretty natural to send an email and get a response shortly after with a notification, etc.

#15if gmail implements this feature, wouldn't your startup be at a serious disadvantage?
Yeah, probably. Or they just buy our startup if it has traction already.
Re: Show HN: AI in Email Conversations
#16This medium is exactly how you get people in fields/industries with slow tech adoption to use AI. Most jobs in legacy businesses live on email -- these people aren't going to want to learn a sleek/new AI chat tool. They're going to stay on their email client.
Agreed. At the very least, it solves the context switching problem between email and chat AI.

for a company, will the company policy allow to sent internal emails to your service ?

Yes, should be fine on our end. Probably not a good idea to include us on anything that requires NDAs, etc. Since that data will be fed into Gemini.
EDIT: I can't speak for your company. You should check company policies before including Subjam in threads.
