What is Mailbutler’s Smart Assistant?

Mailbutler's Smart Assistant is an AI writing tool built directly into your email client. It helps you compose new messages, draft replies, and summarise longer emails by working from keywords or brief prompts you provide. The tool integrates with your existing email workflow rather than requiring you to switch between applications. It's useful for anyone who spends significant time writing emails but wants to work faster or needs help getting started on tricky messages. The freemium model means you can try the basic functionality without paying upfront.
