Ovy is a Chrome Extension for Gmail that helps you write better emails in just one click. Ovy generates complete, realistic, and context-sensitive AI-powered responses to your emails simply clicking a button!
Hey everyone! Excited to share Ovy with you all today and get your feedback. 🚀
Ovy is a product of Userbot, an Italian startup focused on Conversational AI.
Ovy actually was born almost by accident: after the Christmas holidays, our email inboxes were really overflowing. What we realized is that, in fact, we spend most of our days reading and replying to emails. Indeed, according to a research by McKinsey & Co, we spend on average 28% of our working day managing emails, about 2 and a half hours every day! What we thought about is: will it always be like this? What will the future of email look like? Following our vision, AI technologies will become more and more efficient and human-machine integration will be so symbiotic that just a touch will be enough to reply to emails: AIs will know us so well, thanks to the data available, that they will manage the emails for us, based on a minimal interaction.
So this is Ovy: the first step towards the future of email. Started as an experiment, it worked out in such a surprising way that we decided to build a full product around it.
Ovy can be integrated directly into your Gmail inbox with a Google Chrome extension and can generate complete and realistic replies to emails in just one click. Just press a button to tell Ovy if you want to generate a positive, negative, thank you email, or if you want to set up a meeting or eventually simply write your intention in a short phrase, and Ovy will do all the work for you. Ovy is based on our proprietary Artificial Intelligence technology combined with the generative and creative power of GPT3. The result is incredible.
So, with Ovy you can:
⚡️ Generate context-sensitive and realistic replies in one click.
🇪🇺 Automagically reply in the same language used in the original message.
📅 Automatically propose meeting times with the Google Calendar integration.
🚀 Generate a complete and custom email with just one phrase.
The product is in Public Beta and it’s free to try for 50 generated replies to experience the power of AI in your mailbox. Sometimes the replies may not be perfect or there may be occasions when the answers are incorrect, but you can always regenerate the text and check everything before sending. Until now the results have been astonishing and we can’t wait to see how our users will use it!
We constantly improve our products based on what our customers need, so please share your feedback, comments, questions! 🙏

Ovy can save so much time! *_* Seems it can save us of ''boring'' conversations in generic answers as well >.< :D Does Ovy learn over time, or in the beginning you set up the way and the tone of an answer and it generates on its own? :))
@maria_brm Thank you for your interest, Maria! At the moment you can generate a new answer selecting the tone and/or adding a short description, but who knows if one day it will learn by itself 😎
@maria_brm Ovy constantly learns over time and improves the generated answers, but at the moment doesn't learn the specific user's writing style. It's a feature that we would like to add in a coming update! 😇
@marco_mantovani Great! *_* I will be glad to board in the crew of Ovy users! Thanks a lot for the answer and explanation Marco! ^_^ Step by step, fingers crossed for all incoming upgrades and ideas! *_*
@obliviux Hey! I did give it a go and the product is really fast and it did convey my message accurately when I set my tone and intention for the reply. Great job guys :)
Wow, such a great idea! UX looks clean and simple as well. I'd be curious to know what kind of feedback loop is in place here. Does Ovy currently adapt to the user's writing style — in the way GMail's auto-complete does? Additionally, will it be able to tell when/what edits are made to suggested messages? Perhaps these are features in the roadmap. (:
Regardless, congrats on the great launch and product! Love seeing makers come up with cool and creative use cases for Ai.
@jonathan_nass thanks for the feedback and the interesting questions! Ovy at the moment doesn't adapt to the user's writing style but it could be a great feature to add in the coming updates, we're constantly improving the AI engine so the generated answers should improve too! 🙂
@obliviux awesome. Super excited to see where you take this. 💪

Phew! What a time saver this will be! Just agve it a go and i'm actually really impressed how fast and smart it is! I also really like how you have already incorporated so many languages. Are there shortcuts that can be generated on an individual basis or that you can enter for saved templates?
@saba_b thanks, that’s really a good feedback and we’re glad you like it! At the moment there aren’t any kind of shortcuts or templates, but that could be a nice feature to add in a coming update! 🙂

@obliviux Thanks for your reply! Will be following to see if/when this does get added :)

Congratulations on the launch @obliviux , looks really cool! One question re the scheduling function - what happens if multiple people are on the email? How does Ovy manage / what are the plans for the future?
@tim_dev thanks for the question! Ovy is linked with the user’s Google Calendar so it knows your free slots on your calendar, but, due to the limitations and privacy of Google Calendar, Ovy can’t looks on the calendars of other people. So basically Ovy check your free slots on your calendar and propose them, after that you have to wait for a response from the other people to check if those slots are a good fit from them too. 🙂
Uh, this 28% statistics is so scary! Guys, I just wanted to know, where your AI algorithm comes from - is it straight from GPT-3 or did you integrate with already existing tool's API?
Great product btw, kudos!
@lena_krzemieniewska indeed 28% a day is a lot of time spent managing emails! Anyway the AI algorithm is based on our proprietary (and patented) AI technology mixed with the generative power of GTP-3! 🙂

@obliviux nice! If you're open for integrations or build new algorithms for money, I'd be happy to talk - we're looking for something like this to integrate with in DigitalFirst.AI. Please DM me at lena@digitalfirst.ai, if you want to talk further into it ;)
