Friday: AI E-mail Writer

Friday tries to be your email sidekick, but not the kind that just spits out canned responses. It’s more like having a semi-attentive coworker who nudges you when your email sounds off or could use a bit of polish. It lives inside Gmail, which makes it easy to forget you’re even using AI until you hit a snag with wording or tone. The idea is to speed up writing without making your messages sound like a robot wrote them. It’s useful when you’re juggling a dozen threads and need to keep things professional but human — not just speed-dialing canned phrases. Still, it’s not magic; you’ll catch some suggestions that don’t fit or feel a bit generic, but it’s a decent nudge for anyone who hates staring at a blank reply box or second-guessing their wording.
