I didn’t want to pay $10–$30/month for AI email tools, so my friend and I built a free Chrome extension that works directly inside Gmail.
It has the core features you'd expect:
- When you open a reply, it drafts a response based on the thread — just hit Tab and send.
- As you type, it suggests completions based on context (like autocomplete, but smarter).
- Press Shift+Tab to force a suggestion anytime.
- You can also give it context with // comments — e.g. // suggest a time on Thursday afternoon — and press Tab to drop in the response. Then hit Shift+X to remove the comment.
It’s super lightweight, totally free, and we’d love for people to try it out!
Hey folks at HN,
I didn’t want to pay $10–$30/month for AI email tools, so my friend and I built a free Chrome extension that works directly inside Gmail.

Additional information that's hopefully helpful for HN readers:
* This extension has been vibe-coded (example from the code: "// IMPORTANT: Replace this with the ACTUAL URL where your auth-iframe.html is hosted!")
* It sends your email content to ParaAI (https://paraai.pro/) for the actual text completion
Any way to specify my custom writing style via a system prompt?
good idea, prolly should allow system prompt config so people can add their custom email signature as well
