Looks fantastic. I’d be interested to know how it adds the drafts automatically and what kind of privacy access is being exchanged. I’d love if it could be done outside of email for privacy-conscious folks (I suppose ChatGPT!).

Does it only work with Gmail?

> Note from Kevin! Bear with me, this is just an automatically generated privacy policy. I will get a real one soon.

> What you probably want to know is if your emails are safe! Yes, they are safe. All emails are encrypted in transit and at rest. However, to use OpenAI we need to decrypt on the server before making an API request. In the future, I would love to run our own LLM completely in house so your emails never get sent to any third party ever.

I sympathise with the fact that formulating a good privacy policy is difficult.

However, I would like to see a better, more specific privacy policy.

Also curious about the implications of forwarding all emails received from others to EmailTriager and to OpenAI.

I am sure some people will not like the idea that private communication that they write to others are made available to EmailTriager and OpenAI.

I’m not suggesting someone has expectations of making it big, but I think this is a great example of a gadget with zero moat. Google et al. will tidy it up and bake it into their email clients. They have an appetite for this kind of UX, given they already have the quick responses to emails.

My problem with this is that it contributes to the broken culture of email.

– Wanna go for coffee?

– January is busy. After?

is a completely fine exchange. Adding a wall of text to convey the same information does not help anyone.

There’s still the ability to just type out half a sentence. Digging a bit deeper, is your concern that “if there’s a tool, people will use it”?

Aside: I think this creates a delightful opportunity for an unnecessary middleman. Let’s make “Summarizely” a SaaS app to summarize long winded emails!

100%, it just contributes to the digital landfill that is our inboxes.

Good emails should be written like pseudo code, I suspect this will happen or emails will finally die for something that provides this type of capability of exchanging information in order to facilitate decision making.
