Show HN: Vibemail – Chrome extension for vibe emailing

Hey folks at HN,

I didn’t want to pay $10–$30/month for AI email tools, so my friend and I built a free Chrome extension that works directly inside Gmail.

It has the core features you'd expect:

- When you open a reply, it drafts a response based on the thread — just hit Tab and send.

- As you type, it suggests completions based on context (like autocomplete, but smarter).

- Press Shift+Tab to force a suggestion anytime.

- You can also give it context with // comments — e.g. // suggest a time on Thursday afternoon — and press Tab to drop in the response. Then hit Shift+X to remove the comment.

It’s super lightweight, totally free, and we’d love for people to try it out!

Additional information that's hopefully helpful for HN readers:

* This extension has been vibe-coded (example from the code: "// IMPORTANT: Replace this with the ACTUAL URL where your auth-iframe.html is hosted!")

* It sends your email content to ParaAI (https://paraai.pro/) for the actual text completion

lol, should've cleaned the code more, but it's still safe. ParaAI was also built by me. It is connected to models hosted on Azure and has more prompt/iterative checks for styling so so that was the fastest way for me to implement instead of copying code.

Appreciate the note tho! would you want it to directly send request to model provider APIs?

I don't think sending your emails to somebody else for LLM inference, whomever that might be, is a viable business model. Unless it is completely local, I would never use it.

didn't aim for this to a business model. I do, however, think it can be provided there is trust for Email Client through compliance etc

Any way to specify my custom writing style via a system prompt?

good idea, prolly should allow system prompt config so people can add their custom email signature as well

congrats - this seems really cool. just tested it out and can see the value of this!
