What is Ellie?
Ellie is an AI software tool that automatically drafts email replies for Gmail and Outlook accounts. The system connects to a user's inbox and analyzes their sent mail history to learn their specific writing style, tone, and sign-offs. It then generates draft responses to new emails, placing them directly in the user's Drafts folder. The tool integrates via a browser extension for on-demand replies and a native Outlook desktop add-in. It supports multiple languages and allows users to connect several email accounts. Functionality includes training the system on a knowledge base and configuring distinct "Roles" to manage different communication personas. The software is intended for professionals who manage a high volume of email correspondence. A primary use case involves users starting their day by reviewing AI-generated drafts for routine emails, such as scheduling confirmations or follow-up queries, which they can then quickly edit and send. Another workflow involves sales or account managers using the "Roles" feature to maintain distinct communication styles for different clients. The system can also be trained with a knowledge base to draft informed replies to frequently asked questions, which the user verifies before sending.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Ellie to write cold-emails?

No. Ellie will only write replies to emails, not cold emails.

What is a reply?

Each plan gives you a certain number of replies. This is how many emails Ellie can write for you per day.

What's the difference between the AI models?

All plans now use the same Intelligent AI model for generating replies. The model is highly capable and has been optimized for email communication.

What is Knowledge Base Training?

Casual: Includes Basic Knowledge Base Training, allowing you to add a small amount of custom information to help Ellie personalize replies. Business & Professional: Include Advanced Knowledge Base Training, which supports more extensive and flexible customization for your team's needs. You can upload PDF and document files (pdf, txt, docx, etc), or provide a website URL for Ellie to scrape and learn from.

How does Ellie work with my email?

Business & Professional: the recommended setup. Connect your Gmail/Google Workspace or Outlook/Microsoft 365 mailbox once and Ellie auto-drafts replies into your Drafts folder in the background — no install required. You can also trigger a reply on demand from our browser extension or the native Outlook desktop add-in. Casual: manual mode only. Use the browser extension to generate replies on demand directly in Gmail, Outlook on the web, and Fastmail. Auto-drafts are not included.

What are "Auto-draft" and "Auto-categorise" features?

Available on the Business and Professional plans, these features allow Ellie to automatically draft replies and categorize your emails, saving you even more time. Ellie never sends an email without you first checking it—you always have the final control.

How many email accounts can I connect?

Business: 1 connected account per user. Professional: Up to 3 connected accounts per user.

What are Roles for?

Roles let you set up different personas in Ellie for different kinds of email — each with its own knowledge base and tone. For example, you can upload your company help documentation and assign Ellie a Customer Support Specialist role. While in that role Ellie uses the help documentation when drafting replies, and follows whatever rules you set for that role. If you use your inbox to wear a few different hats — sales, support, ops, founder — Roles are for you.

Can I add additional team members?

Yes, these are priced starting at $5 per user.

Can I buy Ellie through Microsoft AppSource?

Yes — Ellie is listed on Microsoft AppSource, so Microsoft 365 customers can buy as a SaaS subscription billed alongside their other Microsoft services. Our native Outlook add-in is also on AppSource — your IT admin can deploy it to every mailbox in your tenant.
