Overview

Scribbly works from the message in front of you. It reads the incoming email and suggests a reply that responds to what was actually said, with tone adjustable by intent, or drafts a new message from a short brief. Smart Mode asks for almost nothing before producing a draft.

Replying is a different problem from writing, and most email tools ignore the difference. Composing from scratch is where a blank page tool helps; the daily grind is thirty replies that each need two paragraphs acknowledging something specific, and a draft that already references the right detail is most of that work done.

It covers Gmail and Outlook through a Chrome extension, free for roughly two or three emails a day after a 30-day Premium trial, then $9.90 a month unlimited. The company states processed content is deleted immediately. The free tier is too small for real use, it is Chrome-only, and a generated reply still needs reading before it goes out under your name.
