Overview
MailWizard is a lightweight Chrome extension that brings AI-powered email drafting directly into your compose box so you can stay in your workflow. Users type a prompt and the extension generates a polished draft using OpenAI or Anthropic models; drafts appear in the email compose window without manual copy-pasting. Installation is performed by downloading the extension ZIP from the project's GitHub repository and loading it as an unpacked extension in Chrome’s developer mode. The project positions itself as a productivity tool for people who write frequent emails and want to reduce repetitive drafting tasks. While the homepage and tutorial text highlight step-by-step setup and example prompts, several secondary pages (pricing, docs, tutorial, install) are currently placeholders or return 404s, indicating the site is early-stage or under maintenance.
