Hey HN!
I made a chrome extension that uses GPT3 to write emails.
I'm a sophomore and I was writing cold emails to startups to get internships. I hated writing them then I built this.
I would love to hear if you like it and if you think this has potential to build further :)
Here's how it works:
You type in some context in the gmail window.
The extension uses GPT3 to write your email
Then the email is injected into your gmail window
Here's a demo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gm7ILCKSws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gm7ILCKSws
- andsoitis 4y agoI recommend practicing your writing skills, honing your communication. It will pay back in spades over your lifetime.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoLearning what good communication looks like and how to prompt AI properly to generate that is a more useful skill at this point

- weird-eye-issue 4y agoHow does this have anything to do with using AI to help you write emails? Hmm... Great "comeback" though. You almost got me!
- andsoitis 4y agoThere’s verbal communication. There’s body language. There’s reading between the lines or reading the air. There’s doing effective presentations. There’s using pursuasive arguments, there’s tuning your message based on audience feedback. Communication isn’t just writing one-shot articulate prose.
- shubhkathuria 4y agosuch tools can be a pretty good substitute for online communication tho
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoLet's be clear: this thread is about writing emails. Your response is just moving the goal posts to turn this into an argument about a broader topic I wasn't trying to address. I don't really feel like it would be productive to engage with you
- janaksunil03 4y agoi agree, prompting, ai is becoming a required skill, but very easy to acquire
