What is Ready to Send?
Ready To Send is a Gmail add-on that automatically generates contextual, editable draft replies for new and unread emails using advanced large language models, providing a background assistant that prepares responses which you can review and send. It integrates natively into Gmail on desktop and mobile, placing generated drafts in your inbox or composer so replies appear within minutes of receiving messages and can be edited or regenerated. The product includes a personalized knowledge base called Intelligent Snippets that injects reusable content (policies, product details, onboarding steps, common phrases) into replies to keep messaging consistent and reduce manual copying. Ready To Send is aimed at professionals, small businesses, customer-support teams, sales and marketing users, and anyone who handles high email volume and wants to save time while preserving a personal voice.

Frequently asked questions about Ready to Send
How do I install Ready To Send?
Install Ready To Send from the Google Workspace Marketplace, then open Gmail and access the add-on from the right-side toolbar on desktop or from the add-ons list at the bottom of an open email on mobile; follow the getting-started prompts to enable drafts to appear automatically.
Is my data private and secure?
Ready To Send emphasizes privacy: it uses Google's infrastructure, states that emails are not stored for model training, adheres to data protection regulations, and has undergone independent cloud security assessments to meet application security requirements.
How many free emails do I get?
New users receive 200 free auto-generated emails with no setup or credit card required so you can try the service before subscribing to a paid plan.
Which language models does Ready To Send use?
Ready To Send integrates with multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic; by default users run on the latest OpenAI model, and subscribers can connect their own API keys to use alternative models.
Can I use my own OpenAI or Anthropic API key?
Yes — subscribers can enter their OpenAI or Anthropic API keys within the app’s API Keys menu, select preferred models, and set monthly email limits to control usage and billing through their own API account.
How does Ready To Send decide which emails to reply to?
The add-on scans for new and unread emails that appear to require a reply and automatically generates drafts while filtering out newsletters, promotions, automated notifications, vacation responses, and no-reply addresses; you can also use labels to trigger or prevent auto-generation.
Can I personalize auto-generated replies for specific contacts?
Yes — you can set global writing preferences and also create contact-specific profiles or preferences so replies reflect each contact’s context, hobbies, or work situation, and regenerate drafts to incorporate those personalizations.
How quickly do drafts appear after receiving an email?
Draft replies typically appear within a few minutes after an email lands in your inbox, as the app processes the message and composes a contextual response based on your settings and snippets.
Can I edit or delete the drafts Ready To Send creates?
Absolutely — generated drafts are fully editable like regular Gmail drafts, you can modify the text, regenerate a new draft if desired, or delete the draft if you choose not to send it.
What are Intelligent Snippets and how do they work?
Intelligent Snippets are a personalized knowledge base of reusable content (such as refund policies, product specs, onboarding steps, or common replies) that the AI automatically inserts into draft replies when relevant to ensure consistent, accurate responses.
