Hey HN! Yesterday I launched Ellie, an extension that helps you reply to emails using OpenAI.

Ellie learns your writing style, and uses the email thread to create context and craft a reply as if it was you.

Currently Ellie is a Chrome extension that only supports Gmail, but I'll be working on supporting more email clients and browsers soon!

When you say it learns your writing style, does that mean previously seen emails are stored somehow?

I tried it briefly and it dealt well with my contrived tests! Even in other languages, though there it wasn't perfect. Nice work.

Currently you provide some example emails and the replies you sent to them, and that's used in the prompt.

Working on a fine-tune that uses more of your sent items that you can specify.

Though it can be crazy good without any training at all!

While it gets the agree/disagree wrong most of the time, I do like that it makes my replies more pleasant and verbose. I used to write very very short replies but now can write a bit more to help.

It really tho tries to agree to everything. I dont do calls so I just have to change a few words. I like that the sentiment is respectful. Makes me sound warmer in reply.
