I have been using HeyHelp from it's moment of launch. In today's email world, the HeyHelp automatic tagging works really well for me and saves me a bunch of time > pre-tagging what can be set aside, what needs to be answered and what needs to be done immediately. And, then > AI comes with draft replies for those emails that are waiting to be answered and are tagged accordingly. This saves me something like 50% of my email writing these last months.
I was comparing it to Canary Mail (where you instruct Copilot how to answer an email). In HeyHelp, the reply already has been drafted, including a number of lines of suggestions in brackets, on how you could move it forward. Replies are drafted via the language settings of Gmail, which is really helpful, being bilingual myself.
Once you drag a tagged email on top of another tag, a number of automated things happen: either it moves to "Waiting for reply" or it's moved to "Resolved" and stuff like that. While the tagging of needs to be done, or an I draft is taken off.
Overall, I'm very happy with the program. Peter Wierenga

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Duda here, co-founder of HeyHelp,
As a founder, I was losing 5+ hours a week to my inbox. Sorting noise, chasing replies, rewriting the same responses over and over. It wasn’t just time, it was focus and headspace.
We built HeyHelp to fix that: an AI email assistant inside Gmail, built for founders, operators, and busy professionals who live in their inbox. The goal is to make Gmail work for you, not the other way around.
What makes HeyHelp different?
→ Native to Gmail (no new app to learn, no broken workflows).
→ Your choice of AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini). You bring your own key, swap anytime, pay only what you use.
→ We’ve been building Gmail tools for years (we’re the makers of DragApp, 200K+ users).
What it does today:
→ Sorts and auto-labels emails so priorities are clear.
→ Drafts replies in your voice (ready to review + send).
→ Blocks cold pitches + follow-ups politely.
→ Learns your patterns and adapts.
Coming soon: Custom labels, AI follow-ups, AI scheduling.
🎁 Launch offer
To celebrate launch, we’re offering for 7 days:
→ Free access to core HeyHelp features
→ One-time lifetime deal ($199, this week only)
We’d love your thoughts. If you try it, tell us: what’s the single most annoying part of your inbox we should solve next? 🚀
Congrats on the successful launch!! As a fellow founder, I'm sure both of our inboxes feel like a second job 😅. I could definitely see myself using HeyHelp to save myself just a few hours every week. One question: How do you train or tweak the AI replies to match tone and context for different recipients (e.g., investors vs. teammates)? I'm curious about how personalized it can get.
HeyHelp
@aaronchow 100%, just so hard to stay on top.
On your question: HeyHelp has an AI Knowledge page where you can teach it your tone, FAQs, who you normally deal with (eg. investors, leads) and do’s/don’ts (eg. don't use emojis, no meetings on Fridays). That context feeds into every draft.
On top of that, it adapts to the tone set in each conversation, mirroring the style you used before (or was set by the original sender) in each thread.
I hope that makes sense! It’s early days, but adaptability and personalization is one of the big bets we’re making!
@dudabardavid1 Makes sense! Seems like you guys have a bright future. Congrats!
HeyHelp
@aaronchow thanks, really appreciate the feedback. If you have any other questions, we're happy to help!
@aaronchow Testimonial for you, Hey Help has self learning builtin as well, so not only you can use the Ai Knowledge base, but also learns from your previous emails, so it emulates your way of writing.
I can tell you that after a few days using it, it looks like the emails were written by me!
HeyHelp is great! Funny experience though, I've been sending media pitches and ended up on the receiving end of HeyHelp's feature "→ Blocks cold pitches + follow-ups politely." it certainly was polite - hopefully journalists using this know how to work with it to still receive pitches if they'd like. Thanks Duda!
HeyHelp
@tacara_detevis Haha, that’s amazing, thanks for sharing this!
Loved it Duda! It's super cool. Hope many founders can see the same cause gmail can be stressful sometimes. All the best here!
HeyHelp
@german_merlo1 thanks so much! Totally agree, to me Gmail almost felt like a second job 😅 if you have the change to try it out, I'd love to har your thoughts.
Congrats! HeyHelp will be a good AI email management tool. I would like to know if HeyHelp can recognize emails in languages other than English?
HeyHelp
@wayne_appgrowing thank you so much Wayne 🙏 and yes, HeyHelp automatically detects the email’s language and drafts the response in the same one. If you have any other questions, we’re here to help!
@wayne_appgrowing I've tested with English, Portuguese and Spanish, and all worked just fine! The drafts were great :)
Congratulations on your launch!
Saving an hour a day is a strong promise! How customizable are the priority settings and reply drafts? Can users train it on specific workflows or adjust how it learns their patterns?
Looks so sleek and polished! I love the AI draft feature - is it a built in option, or is it customizable? For instance, can I switch it on for specific folders/tags only?
HeyHelp
@helga_impalpable love this 😍 the AI draft is built in, it syncs to your email signature and is only triggered for emails that actually require a response (usually, the "Action required" ones).
Soon we're going to enable users to trigger drafts manually (eg. by applying a tag), making it more customizable for users to only use it whenever they want.
I hope that helps! Did you have the chance to try it yet?
@dudabardavid1 sounds great! Not yet, but wish you best of luck with the launch and the promotion!
