Can it send the reply for me, or just draft it?

By default Airbox emails the draft back to you to review and send, which keeps you in control. It can reply within an existing thread when you explicitly ask, but it never emails a stranger on its own — you decide what actually goes out.

How do I make it sound like me?

Add a Context doc in the dashboard with a few of your past emails or a short style guide, and attach it to the inbox. Your AI uses it as voice guidance on every draft.

How much does it cost?

Airbox has a free plan to get started. You bring your own AI provider API key, so you pay the provider directly for the tokens you use — there is no AI markup from Airbox.

Is it safe to point Airbox at my real email?

Yes — that's exactly what Airbox is designed for. Airbox only acts on mail from senders you allow, and it only treats the subject and first body line (or a (* … *) block) as instructions. Everything else in a forwarded email is quarantined as untrusted content and never obeyed for your own security and privacy. Your API keys stay fully encrypted.

Draft email replies with AI

The short answer

To draft an email reply with AI, forward the message to your Airbox address with an instruction like “draft a reply.” Airbox sends it to your own AI and emails back a ready-to-edit draft in your voice — so you can review, tweak, and send. You can teach it your tone once and it keeps to it.

How to do it

Get a free Airbox address and connect your AI provider key.
Forward the email you need to answer to that address.
On the first line, say what you want — e.g. “draft a friendly reply declining politely” — and send.

Example

Put the instruction on the trusted surface; the AI reads the rest as context:

Subject: Fwd: Partnership proposal

(* @chatgpt draft a warm reply that asks for pricing and a call next week *)

---------- Forwarded message ----------
...the email you forwarded...

Want a consistent voice? Add a Context doc with writing samples or rules, and every draft follows it.

What it's good for

First drafts you can edit and send in seconds
Replies in a consistent tone — formal, friendly, or your own voice
Polite declines, follow-ups, and scheduling responses
Rewrites — “make this shorter,” “make this warmer”
