Hey everyone,
I’m trying to find a solution for my email follow-ups. I want to be able to input a contact’s email address and get an AI-generated summary of our past conversations. This would make it so much easier to write personalized follow-ups without having to dig through tons of old emails.
I tried using Zapier for this, but it’s not working out. Has anyone found a good tool or method for this kind of thing? Maybe there’s an email plugin or a separate app that can do this?
I’m open to any suggestions. It would be a huge time-saver if I could find something that works well. Thanks in advance for your help!
Have you considered using a Chrome extension like Gmelius? It offers an AI-powered email assistant that can summarize your conversation history with contacts. I’ve found it quite useful for quick recaps before follow-ups.
Another option worth exploring is Boomerang’s Respondable feature. While it’s primarily known for email scheduling, it also includes AI-powered insights that can help you craft more effective follow-ups based on your past interactions.
If you’re comfortable with a bit more setup, you could look into using the OpenAI API with a custom script to analyze your emails. It requires some technical know-how, but it gives you more control over the summarization process.
Ultimately, the best solution depends on your specific needs and technical comfort level. These alternatives might be worth investigating if Zapier isn’t meeting your requirements.
I’ve actually been using a tool called Tactic for this exact purpose, and it’s been a game-changer for my email management. It integrates directly with Gmail and uses AI to analyze your email history with specific contacts.
When you’re about to send an email, Tactic automatically pulls up a summary of your past interactions, key points discussed, and even suggests follow-up topics. It’s saved me countless hours of scrolling through old threads.
The AI summaries are surprisingly accurate and provide just enough context to jog my memory or give me a quick overview before jumping into a new conversation. It’s not perfect - sometimes it misses nuances - but overall, it’s been incredibly helpful for maintaining relationships and keeping track of ongoing discussions.
If Zapier isn’t cutting it for you, I’d definitely recommend giving Tactic a try. It’s been worth every penny for me in terms of productivity boost.
hey, have u tried using Edison Mail? it’s got this cool AI feature that can summarize ur email history with contacts. i’ve been using it for a while and it’s pretty handy for quick follow-ups. it’s not perfect but it gets the job done most of the time. might be worth checking out if zapier isn’t working for you
