echo
email that sounds like you
echo is an AI assistant for the part of work that quietly eats your day: email. Connect a gmail account and it studies how you actually write — your tone, your go-to phrasings, your sign-offs — and builds a private style profile from your own sent mail. Then, for every email that needs a reply, it drafts one or two options that sound like you wrote them, drawing on the thread and a personal knowledge base you control.
It's built for founders, freelancers, and anyone managing high-volume email. echo only ever drafts — every reply opens in an editor to review, edit, and approve, and it sends through your own gmail only when you press send. A one-tap good-draft / needs-work signal sharpens it over time. The wedge is email; the goal is an assistant that learns your whole communication style.

growth pricing question
loved the demo — could you confirm what Growth includes vs Starter, and any flexibility on annual? we'd start with ~12 seats.

Hi Priya — happy to lay it out. Growth adds more seats, advanced attribution and priority support, and there's room on annual. Best, Alex

echo guides
Ways to use echo, and how it compares.
- use caseAI email assistant, explained: what it does, what it shouldn't, and how to chooseAn AI email assistant helps you handle email faster — usually by drafting replies, summarising threads, or sorting your inbox. The ones worth trusting learn your own voice and never send without you. Here's the category and where echo fits.
- comparisonecho vs Superhuman: two different bets on what makes email fasterSuperhuman makes you fast at moving through email with keyboard shortcuts and a polished client. echo makes the writing itself fast by drafting replies in your voice on top of your existing Gmail. Here's how they compare.
- comparisonChatGPT for email replies: where it helps, and where echo is less workYou can paste an email into ChatGPT and ask for a reply — but you re-explain your tone every time and copy-paste between tabs. echo learns your voice once from your sent mail and drafts in your inbox. Here's the comparison.
- use caseHow echo writes email replies that actually sound like youGeneric AI email reads like a robot — too formal, oddly upbeat, not your words. echo learns your tone, phrasings, and sign-offs from your own sent mail, so drafts sound like you. Here's how it works.
- use caseFounder email, handled: faster replies in your voice without hiring an EAFounders live in email — investors, customers, candidates, partners — and every reply has to sound like them. echo drafts those replies in your voice so you clear the queue without an assistant rewriting your tone. Here's how.
- use caseManage high-volume email with drafts in your voice, not copy-paste templatesWhen you get dozens of replies-needed emails a day, templates flatten your tone and ChatGPT is a copy-paste loop. echo drafts each reply in your voice so volume doesn't cost you your tone. Here's the approach.
- use caseGenerate Gmail replies in your own voice with echoecho connects to your Gmail, learns how you write from your sent mail, and generates replies in your voice that you review and send from Gmail itself. Here's how the Gmail reply flow works.
- how toHow to get AI to write email in your style (without re-prompting it every time)You can teach AI your writing style by feeding it samples and rating output — or let echo learn it automatically from your sent mail. Here's how style learning works and how to do it well.
- use caseWhy echo only drafts: review every AI email reply before it sendsAuto-pilot email AI that sends on its own is a risk you can't take with real relationships. echo only ever drafts — every reply opens for you to edit and approve, and sends from your Gmail only when you tap send.
