Overview

Ellie is an AI email assistant that automatically drafts replies in the user’s own voice: it reads sent mail to learn tone, sign-offs, and writing patterns, then generates draft replies overnight so they’re ready for review by morning. It’s powered by OpenAI, with an explicit privacy stance – it will “never train general models on your email.”

Custom, plain-English rules automatically categorize incoming email, with multiple reply voices available per category – a different tone for sales versus invoicing, for instance. Knowledge base integration crawls a company’s own website and help docs, and CRM connectivity pulls live customer data directly into drafts rather than working from email content alone.

Ellie targets founders, sales teams, recruiters, real estate agents, and solo consultants, plus individuals dealing with reply anxiety or dyslexia. A 7-day free trial requires no credit card; paid plans are on a separate pricing page, with reply limits reflecting AI generation costs.
