AnswerThingAn AI PA for your inbox
It already wrote the reply.
You just say send.
AnswerThing reads the thread, learns your voice, and drafts the answer - then waits for your tap. Nothing sends without your say-so.
Private beta · by invitationWired into where you already work
From inbox to sent in a single tap.
Three moves, and the only one that’s yours is the last.
01
It reads the thread
AnswerThing watches your inbox and understands each incoming question in context - who’s asking and what they need.
02
It recalls your voice
Every answer you’ve given is remembered verbatim. A repeat question pulls your real words, not a generic reply.
03
You tap send
A ready draft appears in Telegram. Approve, tweak, or skip. When memory is thin, it asks instead of guessing.
Built to be trusted with your real inbox.
Replies are built from your own past answers, stored word-for-word - so they sound like you, not a bot.
Usually $250-500k at pre-seed, up to $750k when we’re high-conviction. Send the deck and I’ll dig in.
The agent proposes. You dispose.
There is no autonomous send. AnswerThing can read, recall, and draft - but a reply only leaves your outbox when you approve it. Every time.
Proposes
The agent drafts - nothing more.
Disposes
You approve, edit, or skip.
Commits
Deterministic code sends it.
Rather run it yourself? Install the skill.
AnswerThing ships as an open skill - a plain SKILL.md that runs in any agent (OpenClaw, Hermes, and more). Same flow - reads your Gmail, recalls your voice, drafts the reply, sends only on your approval - running inside your own agent.
Paste this into your agent
Install and set up the "AnswerThing" email skill for me.
1. Install it by running:
curl -fsSL https://answerthing.yoelgal.com/install.sh | sh
If you can't run shell commands, instead download
https://answerthing.yoelgal.com/answerthing-skill.tgz, unpack it into your skills directory, and run
`npm install` inside the unpacked folder.
2. Open the installed SKILL.md and follow it. In short: it reads my Gmail, finds
how I've answered similar questions before, and drafts replies in my voice —
but it never sends anything without my explicit approval.
3. Help me connect Gmail. I need a Gmail app password
(https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords — requires 2-Step Verification),
then set GMAIL_USER and GMAIL_APP_PASSWORD in your environment.
4. Ask me whether I want it to answer on-demand (only when I ask) or to check for
new questions proactively. If proactive, set up the recurring check using your
own scheduling/automation — the skill ships no scheduler — running the normal
inbox → draft → approve flow each time.
5. Then list my most recent inbox questions to confirm it works — but do not send
anything. You draft, I approve, and only then does a reply send.Prefer the terminal? Run it yourself:
01
Install the skill
One command drops AnswerThing into any agent that loads SKILL.md skills - OpenClaw, Hermes, and more.
02
Connect your Gmail
Add a Gmail app password. Your inbox is the only memory it needs - no database, no seeding.
03
On-demand or proactive
Have it wait until you ask, or let your agent check on a schedule and draft as they arrive. Either way, nothing sends without your tap.
