Hey Product Hunt š
I run a small web agency in the UK. Last quarter I missed a client asking to extend a project. Four days. Not because I was busy, but because the email was sitting in an app I open maybe twice a week.
Every client I have messages me on WhatsApp. Instant, seen, sorted in two messages. But every invoice, contract, supplier and accountant still emails me. So the stuff that actually pays lives in the app I ignore.
MailOnChat is the fix I built for myself. Connect Gmail or Outlook once, and your inbox comes to WhatsApp:
āļø A summary every morning of what actually came in, filtered hard so newsletters and receipts do not bury the two things that matter
š¬ Ask your inbox questions in plain language. "Anything from Sarah?" and it tells you
š¤ Reply by voice note. You say roughly what you mean, it writes a proper email, and shows you the draft. Nothing sends without your yes
Two things I got wrong while building it, in case they are useful:
Summarising every email made the summary worthless. The filtering turned out to be harder and more important than the AI.
Voice notes were an afterthought and became the main way people use it. Nobody types a long email on a phone if they can just talk.
On trust, since this is the question everyone asks: it uses standard Google and Microsoft sign in, you revoke it from your own account settings any time, and it can never send an email you have not read first.
What I would genuinely love from you today: tell me whether having email arrive in WhatsApp sounds like relief or like one more place to be interrupted. I get both answers and I am still not sure which is right.
I am here all day, ask me anything š
