I saw this new open source AI email editor thing through a friend and I'm kinda unsure about it, feels like just another tool that complicates stuff more, don’t really see why we need AI in emails, hope the team's ready for some real feedback coz it feels half-baked right now.

I get that you’re pushing for innovation but do we really need AI for everything? It feels like we're just adding more complexity to something that should be simple, and I'm a bit skeptical about the open source part, let's see how it goes 🤔

Guess it will create benefit for all email users when programmed with AI

I get that AI emails can save time but are we really okay with machines writing our emails now, I feel like this just removes the human touch completely, let's see how it evolves might be interesting could be a disaster though

Do we really need another AI tool for emails, feels like we're just adding more layers of complexity, what's next, AI for writing text messages?

Luca, I see the idea behind your email tool but it kinda feels like a mix of what Mailgun and SendGrid offer but with the AI twist, I'm curious how it stacks up against those giants, also wondering if you've thought about any kind of spam protection or deliverability features cause most AI-generated stuff tends to get flagged a lot, looking forward to see how this grows and if it could genuinely ease emailing.

So, it's supposed to make writing emails easier but then you added AI and now it's kinda doing too much, how is this different from all the other services that use AI for emails, also wondering how secure it is if we’re hosting it ourselves?

Its crazy that email is so hard in 2024 we need more tools like this!

That looks great, I'll consider trying it out after our launch for our email stuff!

I'm not really sure why anyone would need AI to write emails when tools like Mailchimp and Sendinblue already do similar things, isn't this just complicating something that should be simple, and honestly the whole self-hosting part on AWS sounds like a hassle, who has time for that, what are you guys really aiming for here, and why should we use this over existing tools?

Luca, intriguing idea but AI-powered emails feel like overkill, does anyone really need this kind of automation for simple emails, maybe focus less on AI and more on user control, otherwise sounds too complicated for everyday use

Interesting concept but isn't trusting an AI with email content and sending kinda risky, what about the privacy concerns, any plans to address that, maybe add more user control features

HI @plushdohn & Team. Congratulations for this tool :) I would like to highlight you few points on it as I think that is worth to add them in some way in the summary/description of the tool 1. Privacy vs use of LLM: We all know that this point is really sensitive & delicate from a lot of points of view. Management of personal info to be used for generate the mail: If your user is a firm then it might be reticent in using it (especially if is a corp.). Also from the point of view of the person who receives the mail it might be tricky: you should be able to develop a system which allow that person (and/or firm) to authorize you in advance for the use of his own info (whihc might be part of the content of the mail). In some case, you should be also advising him on how that mail was generated (this might be a configurable option to be selected by the recipients). 2. LLM Model chosen: Cloude by Anthropic it looks to me the best choice for this kind of tool. I invite you to spend some motre words in the description of the tool on why you choose this LLLM model instead of others. It is also good that you left open the door to the user to use a different LLM. 3. In order to make your tool more attractive, I would explain with some more details what differentiate VOLAMAIL from other similar tools, what is your Winning Use Case and what kind of Clients are going to benefit most from your tool. Good luck with launch. Max

This sounds pretty interesting, Luca! I love the focus on collaboration with email, but I'm curious about the capabilities of the AI in terms of customizability. Can users tailor the AI suggestions, or is it more of a one-size-fits-all approach? Also, how do you plan to prioritize feedback during the beta phase? Looking forward to trying it out!

This just feels like another AI email tool, we've already got stuff like Mailgun and SendGrid and they're more polished, also adding AI just complicates things more, who needs that half-baked feature anyway?
