A Gmail Reply Assistant for Emails with Several Decisions

The hardest part of a reply is often deciding what to agree to. MailCat makes those decisions visible before assembling the wording.

Useful when one email contains several asks

A smooth “Sounds good” can read like acceptance of every request. Before drafting, you need to decide which date is feasible, whether extra work needs approval, and what meeting time you can attend. MailCat is designed around that decision step—not around automatically answering on your behalf.

See the decisions separately from the prose

Click Reply in desktop Gmail. MailCat analyzes the visible target message and relevant visible quotations, then presents points with suggested answers. Choose an option, enter a custom answer, or skip a point. Put missing context in “Anything else to include?”

For our example, your decisions might be: Thursday depends on final feedback; mobile is additional scope; Friday morning is unavailable. Those facts come from you. Check that the identified points match the original message, because AI can miss details.

Compile, edit, then explicitly insert

After every detected point is answered or skipped, Compile Reply creates an editable preview. Include at least one answer or instructions. Read the preview against your decisions, edit directly, or describe a change and use Update draft.

Explicit Insert reply places the text into the connected Gmail editor while preserving existing draft content. Check the combined email, recipients, and attachments before pressing Send yourself. MailCat never automatically sends an email.

Is this the right fit?

• Consider it: you answer multi-point client or project emails and want a separate review of your decisions.
• Keep it simple: a short acknowledgment may be quicker to type yourself.
• Not supported: Outlook, mobile Gmail, calendar lookup, attachment analysis, and background entire-inbox processing.
• You still verify: names, dates, amounts, approved scope, and whether a message may be shared for AI processing.

This is a Chrome extension for Gmail, with a minimum supported Chrome version of 127. Its usefulness depends on your messages and review habits; there is no promised number of minutes saved.

Trial, price, and processing

Relevant message information, choices, and instructions go through MailCat's backend and AI providers. Review the privacy disclosure before using confidential email. “Never sends” describes who controls email sending, not an assertion that processing stays entirely on your device.
