Ellie is an AI email assistant for Gmail that studies your sent emails to learn your personal writing style, vocabulary, and response patterns, then drafts replies to incoming messages that sound like you wrote them. The goal is an assistant that produces drafts matching your voice closely enough that recipients cannot tell the difference from your normal writing. The Chrome extension integrates directly into Gmail's compose view, generating contextually appropriate drafts with one click. You can provide additional context before generating ("reply professionally", "push back on the timeline", "keep it brief") to adjust the output. Ellie also supports role-based personas, allowing team members to configure distinct styles within a shared account. Ellie is primarily used by professionals with high email volume who want to cut inbox time without losing the personal feel of their communications. It sits in a similar category to Superhuman's AI compose but at a lower price point, and focuses more narrowly on the style-matching problem rather than full inbox management. Pricing is per user with a paid-only model after a trial period.

What the community says

Positive reviews among knowledge workers and executives with heavy email loads. Users are often surprised by how well it captures personal voice after a brief learning period. Criticism includes the paid-only model with no free tier beyond trial, reply limits on lower plans being insufficient for high-volume users, and occasional style drift where drafts sound slightly off for unusual request types. Generally well-rated as a quality email drafting tool for professionals who value voice consistency.
