# AI for email writing that lives in your inbox

Draft replies, rewrite for tone, and polish emails inside Gmail and Outlook with one keyboard shortcut. No tabs to switch. No copy-paste from ChatGPT.

## How it works

### Three things you'll do every day

The workflow stays intentionally small: open the page where the work already lives, call Clico, and keep the output in context.

#### Inbox task 01

### Draft from scratch

Turn a rough instruction into a complete message, from recruiter replies to project updates.

- subject  
- tone  
- thread context

#### Inbox task 02

### Rewrite a draft

Make an email more concise, warmer, more direct, or less apologetic before sending.

- subject  
- tone  
- thread context

#### Inbox task 03

### Reply with context

Use the thread and any open @ tab to write a response that actually answers the question.

- subject  
- tone  
- thread context

## Tone

### Match the tone to who you're writing

Use tone presets like professional, friendly, direct, apologetic, enthusiastic, or polite decline. The same thought can become a crisp manager update, a warmer customer note, or a careful rejection.

- **Professional**: Clear and workplace-safe.
- **Friendly**: Warm without being wordy.
- **Direct**: Short, decisive, and low-friction.
- **Polite decline**: Says no without burning a bridge.

## Use Cases

### Built for the emails you write most

Clico is designed for common inbox work, not novelty prompts.

- **Recruiting**: Reply to applicants, recruiters, and interview loops.
- **Meeting declines**: Suggest async updates without sounding cold.
- **Customer replies**: Answer with context and the right tone.
- **Internal updates**: Turn rough bullets into a readable status email.
- **Cold outreach**: Draft specific notes that avoid template smell.
- **Follow-ups**: Nudge without adding pressure.

## Power feature

### Type @ to pull in any open tab

Replying to a customer who references a doc? Type @ and pull the doc into the prompt. Clico reads it and writes a reply that reflects the actual source.

## Comparison

### Clico vs Gmail Smart Compose vs ChatGPT

Clico is not trying to replace every specialist tool. It is designed for the moment when the work is already open in your browser and you need AI without breaking flow.

| Feature | Clico | Gmail Smart Compose | ChatGPT |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Writes a complete draft from a prompt | Yes | No | Yes |
| Works inside Gmail | Yes | Yes | No |
| Adjusts tone | Yes | No | Yes |
| Uses other tabs as context | @ tabs | No | Manual paste |
| No copy-paste | Yes | Yes | No |

## Privacy

### Private by design

Clico does not read your inbox in the background; it works with the thread or draft you actively invoke.
