Does Airbox turn the auto-reply on for me?

No — Airbox writes the message; you paste it into your own email client's vacation-responder setting and choose the dates there. That keeps your existing email rules untouched.

Can it write it in another language?

Yes. Ask for the OOO message in any language your AI model supports, or ask for several language versions at once.

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.
