In addition to helping you snooze emails, the plugin can also remind you about emails you're waiting on a response to. Meanwhile, Google is already generating simple automatic replies to emails.īut Boomerang is in a unique position to offer this particular service. And Microsoft just acquired a meeting coordination startup called Genee. Clara and X.ai analyze your email to help you schedule meetings.

The startup Crystal scrapes publicly available data about the people you send email to and gives you tips on what style of email you they might prefer based on their personality. The tool is part of a much wider effort to push artificial intelligence into our email and calendar services. The project is in its early days but it does give us a glimpse of how AI might work in concert with humans, not to take our jobs but to make our jobs a bit easier. In theory, this will make life easier for people on both ends on the exchange: The recipient the email will get clearer, more actionable emails, and the sender should be more likely to get a prompt response. If your subject line it too terse, for instance, or the email's tone seems rude, it will tell you. Respondable analyzes your messages as you write them, predicts how likely they are to get a response, and then suggests ways you can improve them. But today, the company added a new twist to this plug-in: a new AI-powered tool called "Respondable." They'll disappear from your inbox but then reappear at later time. But in the meantime, a startup called Boomerang wants to take you at least part of the way there.īoomerang makes a plug-in for Gmail and Outlook that lets you hit the "snooze button" on certain messages.

Looking for an artificial intelligence that can write all your email messages so you don't have to? Too bad.
