Inbox copilot for webmail

Draft replies and triage without a server.

For: Teams building on top of webmail

A content script that suggests reply drafts inside a webmail UI. Anouk's cache means re-opening the same thread reuses the earlier draft, and the queue keeps a busy inbox from hammering the provider.

The problem

Inbox tools generate a draft every time a thread opens. Opening the same thread repeatedly means repeated spend, and a user churning through 40 messages can easily hit provider rate limits.

How Anouk handles it

▸The draft request is keyed by thread id, so re-opening a thread returns the cached draft.
▸The per-provider queue paces requests as the user moves quickly through the inbox.
▸The user supplies their own key, so there is no shared backend cost or data custody to manage.

src/inbox.js

import { AIService } from 'anouk';

async function draftReply(thread) {
  return AIService.call(
    'Draft a concise, friendly reply',
    thread.latestMessage,
    `reply_${thread.id}`
  );
}
