Email is one of the most commonly used business communication channels, so it’s no surprise that the average office worker gets around 121 messages every day. Even though some of these emails might not require a response, most of them do, which explains why the average employee spends half their workday reading, writing, and managing emails.
To help you free up time and get more done, Mailbutler’s AI-based Smart Assistant is designed to generate professional email replies in just a few seconds. Read on to learn more about its Smart Respond functionality.
Smart Respond is one of the Mailbutler Smart Assistant’s six core sub-features. It generates both positive and negative email replies based on the content and writing style of the message you want to respond to. Like Smart Compose, Smart Respond can help you overcome blank page syndrome and reply to emails quickly.
To use Smart Respond, you first need to select the email you want to reply to. Then choose “Reply” in your Mailbutler Sidebar (or click on the ⬇️ next to “Reply” and select “Reply positively 👍” or “Reply negatively 👎”).
