Why Replying to Emails Feels So Hard
Email replies are uniquely challenging because they require reading comprehension, empathy, and articulation simultaneously. You need to parse what the sender actually wants, decide how to respond, and phrase it in a way that advances the conversation. For difficult emails -- complaints, negotiations, awkward requests -- the cognitive load multiplies. Many people delay replies not because they are busy but because they are unsure what to say, which creates its own spiral of guilt and urgency. The longer you wait, the harder it gets to respond, and the more awkward the eventual reply feels. This is not a character flaw -- it is a natural response to communication that demands multiple skills at once. An AI reply generator breaks this paralysis by handling the drafting so you can focus on deciding what to say rather than how to say it.
How the Email Reply Generator Works
Paste the email you received into the input box above. Optionally describe your intended response in the intent field -- for example, 'accept the invitation', 'ask for a different date', or 'decline politely'. The AI reads the original email, understands its context and tone, and generates a reply that addresses the key points. If you specify intent, the reply focuses on that direction. If you leave intent blank, the AI writes a helpful, natural response based on what the email requires. Select a tone if you want to override the default, or let the AI match the register of the original email. Click Generate and within seconds you will have a complete reply draft with a subject line. Your text is processed in memory and never stored to any database or logs, so your communications stay private.
Tips for Writing Better Email Replies
Reply within 24 hours when possible -- even a brief acknowledgment is better than silence. Address every question in the original email so the sender does not need to follow up asking for the parts you missed. Mirror the sender's tone unless you have a specific reason to shift it: replying casually to a formal email can feel dismissive, and replying formally to a casual note can feel cold. Keep replies shorter than the original email -- the sender already has context, so you do not need to repeat it. Use the reply intent field to steer the AI toward your preferred direction. Start with acknowledgment before jumping to your response: a quick 'Thanks for sending this over' shows you read the email carefully. End with a clear next step so both parties know what happens next.

- Yes, completely free. Anonymous users can generate 5 replies per hour, and signed-in users get 20 per hour. No credit card or account is required to start.

- No. Your text is processed in memory and never saved to any database or logs. Once the reply is generated, your input is discarded.
- Do I have to tell the AI what to say?
- No, the intent field is optional. If left blank, the AI writes a natural, helpful reply based on the context of the received email. Adding intent helps steer the reply in a specific direction, but it is not required.
