Thanks, appreciate your support!

We're looking into adding support for other browsers but don't have a concrete timeline yet. You can upvote that here https://composeai.canny.io/integrations/p/add-support-for-fi... so we can keep you posted.

We haven't launched our Premium plan yet. We can let you know when we do!

We actually just didn't do a Launch HN post till now.

Thanks for mentioning these. We'll look into what is happening with the context on Hacker News.

I am familiar with co-pilot and I appreciate the suggestion and think it's possible you're right. We actually used to have gray text which you can enabled in certain sites still if you click the extension icon in the top left of your browser: https://imgur.com/a/90wDnvN

We found that it was very difficult to integrate that grey text with many websites in the way you might expect it to work. We are still exploring what a happy medium might look like.

Thanks a lot. Any feedback is very welcome!

Thanks for the thoughts here. Will follow-up over email!

Not sure if I fully understand the idea you are suggesting here. I have certainly thought quite a bit about: 1. Summarizing email 2. Extracting intents from emails

But it sounds like you are suggesting something a bit different.

Let's see how quickly we can get there ;)

We've looked at things like this or federated learning as well. Definitely will keep our eye on it as we continue.

We have an emoticons feature as a work in progress and we are continuously experimenting with personalization!

Thanks! You can upvote those integrations so we can prioritize them: https://composeai.canny.io/integrations. We can then keep you posted.

We do have an API that we are offering to select companies and for specific use-cases. You can apply for access here: https://1hzsaknho9a.typeform.com/to/fGEQgXy7?typeform-source...

What I mean by end-to-end encrypted here is during transportation and at rest (not that it is never decrypted in memory). As you are pointing out, it obviously has to be in memory as clear text at some point. But that is being done on a private VPC and only very briefly.

There is some similarity and there were some inspirations from Gmail to be sure. For example, there were many users of Superhuman or Front who really disliked the fact that they wouldn't be able to use autocompletions in their email client (we work on Superhuman in the browser and Front support is coming soon).

We do find that we are able to predict significantly more text than Gmail is able to.

For the sake of discussion, what about an open source decentralized blockchain that shows that your data is always encrypted and only readable by hosted apps that are open source that you approve to have access to your data?

Thanks for the comment. We do give users the ability to easily disable the extension temporarily or on websites that they might have particular concerns about.

We don’t currently have a way to detect hostile tones, but we do have a way to rephrase sentences to be more friendly — https://www.loom.com/share/703d223a40f34447897d1736c6dc8c91.

Compose Now is only available on certain websites, but we are working on enabling it everywhere else. You can find a list of websites we are officially integrated with here: https://composeai.notion.site/Supported-Tools-0f3ee54d5ef04d.... When a website is "experimental", you can force enable the extension (autocomplete) there but may encounter some issues. Thanks for pointing out the Github example—we'll look into that.

Yes — and now, to reply to your comment :)

The biggest difference is our Chrome extension that does autocompletion across a large number of websites and things like full email completion (see the videos in the main post).
