I’ve tried other email assistants before, including Fyxer, but HeyHelp is on a completely different level. With Fyxer, the tag colors all seemed to blend together, which made it hard to tell what needed my attention. HeyHelp’s color-coded tags are crystal clear...when I see bright red for Action Required, I know it’s time to get moving. I can also instantly spot the difference between FYI and Notification emails without even opening them.
The AutoArchive feature is another game-changer. Low-priority emails like marketing or news get swept into their own folders so my inbox stays clean, but they’re still there if I want to skim them later. And the smart reply feature, tuned to my preferred communication styles, makes responding effortless.
Setup was refreshingly simple, too. Instead of dozens of overwhelming settings like Fyxer, HeyHelp keeps it straightforward and intuitive. It’s made checking my email a smooth, stress-free part of my day...something I never thought I’d say.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Duda here, co-founder of HeyHelp,
As a founder, I was losing 5+ hours a week to my inbox. Sorting noise, chasing replies, rewriting the same responses over and over. It wasn’t just time, it was focus and headspace.
We built HeyHelp to fix that: an AI email assistant inside Gmail, built for founders, operators, and busy professionals who live in their inbox. The goal is to make Gmail work for you, not the other way around.
What makes HeyHelp different?
→ Native to Gmail (no new app to learn, no broken workflows).
→ Your choice of AI (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini). You bring your own key, swap anytime, pay only what you use.
→ We’ve been building Gmail tools for years (we’re the makers of DragApp, 200K+ users).
What it does today:
→ Sorts and auto-labels emails so priorities are clear.
→ Drafts replies in your voice (ready to review + send).
→ Blocks cold pitches + follow-ups politely.
→ Learns your patterns and adapts.
Coming soon: Custom labels, AI follow-ups, AI scheduling.
🎁 Launch offer
To celebrate launch, we’re offering for 7 days:
→ Free access to core HeyHelp features
→ One-time lifetime deal ($199, this week only)
We’d love your thoughts. If you try it, tell us: what’s the single most annoying part of your inbox we should solve next? 🚀
Congrats on the successful launch!! As a fellow founder, I'm sure both of our inboxes feel like a second job 😅. I could definitely see myself using HeyHelp to save myself just a few hours every week. One question: How do you train or tweak the AI replies to match tone and context for different recipients (e.g., investors vs. teammates)? I'm curious about how personalized it can get.
HeyHelp
@aaronchow 100%, just so hard to stay on top.
On your question: HeyHelp has an AI Knowledge page where you can teach it your tone, FAQs, who you normally deal with (eg. investors, leads) and do’s/don’ts (eg. don't use emojis, no meetings on Fridays). That context feeds into every draft.
On top of that, it adapts to the tone set in each conversation, mirroring the style you used before (or was set by the original sender) in each thread.
I hope that makes sense! It’s early days, but adaptability and personalization is one of the big bets we’re making!
@dudabardavid1 Makes sense! Seems like you guys have a bright future. Congrats!
HeyHelp
@aaronchow thanks, really appreciate the feedback. If you have any other questions, we're happy to help!
@aaronchow Testimonial for you, Hey Help has self learning builtin as well, so not only you can use the Ai Knowledge base, but also learns from your previous emails, so it emulates your way of writing.
I can tell you that after a few days using it, it looks like the emails were written by me!
HeyHelp is great! Funny experience though, I've been sending media pitches and ended up on the receiving end of HeyHelp's feature "→ Blocks cold pitches + follow-ups politely." it certainly was polite - hopefully journalists using this know how to work with it to still receive pitches if they'd like. Thanks Duda!
HeyHelp
@tacara_detevis Haha, that’s amazing, thanks for sharing this!
Loved it Duda! It's super cool. Hope many founders can see the same cause gmail can be stressful sometimes. All the best here!
HeyHelp
@german_merlo1 thanks so much! Totally agree, to me Gmail almost felt like a second job 😅 if you have the change to try it out, I'd love to har your thoughts.
Congratulations on your launch!
Saving an hour a day is a strong promise! How customizable are the priority settings and reply drafts? Can users train it on specific workflows or adjust how it learns their patterns?
Looks so sleek and polished! I love the AI draft feature - is it a built in option, or is it customizable? For instance, can I switch it on for specific folders/tags only?
HeyHelp
@helga_impalpable love this 😍 the AI draft is built in, it syncs to your email signature and is only triggered for emails that actually require a response (usually, the "Action required" ones).
Soon we're going to enable users to trigger drafts manually (eg. by applying a tag), making it more customizable for users to only use it whenever they want.
I hope that helps! Did you have the chance to try it yet?
@dudabardavid1 sounds great! Not yet, but wish you best of luck with the launch and the promotion!
This is interesting, @dudabardavid1👀 I’ve tried Superhuman and a couple of other AI-driven email assistants, but most of them either lock you into one AI model or feel disconnected from Gmail’s native flow.
How do you see HeyHelp stacking up against tools like Superhuman or Shortwave, especially for founders who prioritize speed of triage over deep personalization?
Also curious: which use case have early users said saves them the most time so far, auto-sorting or reply drafting?
HeyHelp
@rivi_richards thanks for raising this! For founders who care most about speed, auto-sorting/triage usually makes the biggest impact. Inbox noise drops instantly. When comparing to Superhuman or Shortwave, the two key differences you've already mentioned:
Native in Gmail, which brings a bunch of advantages like 2-way draft and label syncing, compatibility with existing extensions, and avoids some of the workflow issues users often mention with those tools.
No lock-ins (or markup pricing!)
From what we’ve seen so far, most users would agree that auto-sorting is currently the top time-saver.
@dudabardavid1 @rivi_richards And we also are the only company that allows you to choose your own API provider, so if you prefer to use Anthropic because of their human like emails, or chatgpt because you are used to that, we allow you to, those other providers force you to choose their choice of AI, liking you or not, that's the only option, we give you the flexibility to choose your preferred one.
