It functions as your personal writing partner, learning from your unique style and tone to draft bespoke, context-aware replies. By analyzing the email thread, Ellie crafts intelligent and personalized responses that sound just like you wrote them. This tool is perfect for busy professionals, teams, and anyone overwhelmed by their inbox, helping to increase productivity and reduce the time spent on email correspondence.

Ellie operates directly within your existing workflow as a browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, seamlessly integrating with popular email clients like Gmail, Outlook web, and Fastmail. For teams, it offers direct inbox integration, working in the background to automatically draft replies and categorize emails, streamlining communication and ensuring consistency across your organization.

How to use Ellie

Getting started with Ellie is straightforward and designed for quick integration into your daily routine:

1. Install the Extension: Download and install the Ellie browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge from their respective web stores.
2. Connect Your Account: After installation, connect your email account (Gmail, Outlook, etc.). Ellie prioritizes privacy and only accesses the minimal data needed to generate a reply.
3. Train Ellie (Optional but Recommended): To achieve highly personalized responses, you can train Ellie by providing it with up to 200 of your previously sent emails (for the Casual plan) or more for team plans. This allows the AI to learn your specific writing style, tone, and common phrases.
4. Build a Knowledge Base: You can teach Ellie specific information by uploading documents (PDFs, DOCX, TXT) or providing URLs. Ellie will use this knowledge to answer questions and include relevant details in its replies, which is ideal for customer support or sales inquiries.
5. Generate Replies: When replying to an email, simply activate Ellie. It will read the context of the conversation and instantly draft a reply. You can review, edit, and send the email, always maintaining full control.
6. Use Roles for Context Switching: For varied tasks, you can assign different roles to Ellie (e.g., 'Customer Support Specialist', 'Sales Manager'). Each role can be linked to a specific knowledge base, ensuring the replies are always appropriate for the context.
