What You Can Do with AI Inbox

Core Capabilities

• Draft personalized openers

  • What it does: Generates a first message for a new connection based on their LinkedIn profile, headline, recent posts, and any shared context.

  • Why it matters: You start conversations that feel personal instead of templated. Higher response rates, less effort.

• Draft contextual replies

  • What it does: Reads the full conversation thread and generates a reply that matches the conversation flow and your tone settings.

  • Why it matters: You don't have to re-read the entire thread to figure out what to say next. The AI does it for you.

• Smart reply chips

  • What it does: Three context-aware suggestions appear above the compose box. They detect the conversation stage (early conversation, resource delivery, stale thread, etc.) and offer relevant actions.

  • Why it matters: You pick a direction in one click instead of deciding from scratch what to say.

• Keyboard shortcuts

  • What it does: Press A to trigger a draft, 1-3 to pick a smart reply chip, R to regenerate. All without touching the mouse.

  • Why it matters: You can process your entire inbox at speed. Open conversation, A, review, send, next.

• Regenerate and refine

  • What it does: After a draft is generated, click Regenerate (or press R) for a fresh take. Use Shorter or More Direct buttons to adjust the draft.

  • Why it matters: Never stuck with the first draft. Quick iteration until it sounds right.

• Contact name usage control

  • What it does: Choose whether the AI uses the contact's first name in openers only, every message, or never.

  • Why it matters: Some people prefer casual name usage, others find it presumptuous. You control the default.

FAQs for AI Inbox

• Q: Does the AI send messages automatically? A: No. Every draft appears in the compose box for you to review and edit before sending. You always press Send yourself.

• Q: How many credits does each draft cost? A: One credit per draft (opener, reply, or regeneration). Your plan includes a monthly allocation, and you can buy top-up bundles anytime.

• Q: Can the AI read the contact's LinkedIn profile? A: Yes. It pulls their name, headline, job title, company, location, and recent posts to personalize the draft.

• Q: What if the draft is bad? A: Press R to regenerate, or use the Shorter / More Direct buttons to adjust. You can also edit the draft manually in the compose box.

• Q: Does it work for new connections with no conversation history? A: Yes. For new connections, the AI generates an opener based on their profile and posts instead of conversation history.
