Scribbly

Scribbly is a Chrome extension for Gmail and Outlook that reads the email you are replying to, lets you choose an intention, and returns several ready-to-edit drafts. A free credit-based plan covers light use, with a paid tier for unlimited daily emails.

Scribbly is a Chrome extension that adds AI drafting to Gmail and Outlook. Rather than opening a separate chat window, you work inside the compose or reply box you already use. When replying, the tool reads the incoming message, asks you to pick an intention (the way you want to come across), and then produces several candidate responses. You pick one, adjust the wording, and send. When starting from a blank email, an Input Mode lets you describe the situation in your own words and receive a draft in return. The product is aimed squarely at people whose working day runs on correspondence: freelancers handling client threads, founders and managers keeping teams aligned, support staff working through queues, sales reps following up, and HR staff sending routine updates. The pitch is not creative writing but the repetitive, context-heavy messages that fill an inbox. Scribbly claims its narrow focus on professional email produces better results than general purpose writing assistants, and it also claims the output adapts to tone and can pick up commonly asked questions so you are not writing the same answer twice. In practice the workflow is short. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, sign in, and open Gmail or Outlook. Select a message, choose the intention that matches your reply, review the generated options, edit, and send. A Smart mode is advertised as requiring no input at all. The free tier runs on a daily credit allowance that resets at midnight ET; longer emails and multiple generated responses consume more credits, and the company puts a typical email at roughly 500 to 1,000 credits. A paid plan removes the cap. The obvious comparison is with general chatbots and writing suites, which can draft email but need pasted context and clear instructions each time. Scribbly's advantage is that it already sees the thread. Its limitation is that it does not travel: Chrome is the only supported browser, and the inbox is the only surface. Privacy is addressed by deleting processed email content immediately and not storing email records.
