Ellie is an AI email assistant that drafts replies in your writing style using the context from the thread.

There are three ways to use Ellie. Most new users should start with option 1.

Connect your Gmail or Outlook account at app.tryellie.com to turn on Auto-drafts. Ellie works in the background: it reads incoming emails, Auto-categorises them, and adds draft replies to emails that need a response.

Review the drafts, make any changes, and send them.

→ Connect your inbox & turn on Auto-drafts

Option 2: Browser extension (Gmail Web & Outlook Web)

Install the Ellie extension for Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Use it inside Gmail Web or Outlook Web whenever you want Ellie to draft a reply for a specific email.

Choose this option if you want Ellie to draft only when you ask it to.

→ Install the browser extension

Option 3: Outlook Desktop add-in

Use Outlook as a desktop app? Install Ellie from Microsoft AppSource to draft replies inside Outlook Desktop.

→ Outlook Desktop add-in

Your 7-day free trial

Every new account comes with a 7-day trial. No credit card required to start. You can connect a Gmail or Outlook account, install the extension, and choose a plan later.
