What is Ellie?
Ellie is your personal AI email assistant. It’s designed to learn your unique writing style, so it can craft email replies that sound just like you wrote them. This means you can generate professional, personalized emails without spending hours on them. Ellie really gets the context of your emails and can create smart, thoughtful replies with that personal touch you value. Plus, you can teach Ellie new things by giving it documents or links to learn from. And don’t worry about privacy – Ellie only uses your email replies to help it generate responses and doesn’t store your email data.
Who created Ellie?
Ellie was actually built by Danielle and James, a couple of developers who travel the world on a small sailboat. They’re independent, meaning they don’t have any outside funding, and they’re really focused on privacy and using data ethically.
