A note from an old friend just landed.
Most AI email tools ask for full OAuth inbox access to read, send, and store your mail. Rilo reads only the email currently open on screen, never touches the rest of the inbox, never sends anything, and never stores your email.
Each reply comes back as a few drafts across different tones and intents rather than one generic answer. Rilo was the first product I built and shipped end to end.

Why I built it
Every AI email tool I tried wrote in its own voice, so you either sent something that didn’t sound like you or rewrote the whole thing anyway. I wanted control over how the reply actually comes out, without handing over full access to my inbox to get it.
